All of what you said below sounds just about right to me. We have had it off
now for an hour and the ice is gone, going to wait a bit longer before we
crank it up again. We have the fan on and that is working fine so far. Air
is moving great.
Damn I'm hot.
Not in the looks sense, of course.
p.s. FYI, I'm moving back to Loisiana next year. Nothing like "jungle heat"
to make you really appreciate AC.
p.s.s. We should have a GetMardiGras() function up on cflib.org sometime
today.
