My A/C broke down some time last night. I started noticing that it was humid around 10pm but figured it had cooled off enough outside so that the unit wasn't coming on very often. No such luck. Around 11pm I dropped the temp on the thermostat and nothing happened. Tried the manual control on the fan. Nada. Now it's around 84f in here at 1am and that's not nice. Tomorrow after work I'll try the circuit breaker out on the electrical panel and if that doesn't work then the two breakers that I know about on the part of the A/C unit under the house. If that doesn't do the trick---then I guess I'll have to wait a while. Holiday weekend now and this is the busy time of year anyhow... I'll be lucky to get a repairman here by next Thursday.

By the end of the evening the heat and humidity got a lot worse. Of course it was still a lot better on the inside of the house versus the outside. As you can see there, the temp outside was 103.1 at 6pm and was still climbing a little. *whew* My grass needs mowing but I'll tell you--I'd have to be nuts to cut it in this heat! I'll wait until this weekend when I can cut it in the morning when it's only...
