My air conditioner is tired

Saturday afternoon my wife woke me up from a nap to tell me the air conditioner wasn't working. "It's 80 degrees in here!" she said.

Tom, my trusted repairman, gave me the bad news today. The compre$$or is shot. And if I'm going to replace it with a new high-efficiency system, Tom says I should also replace the in$ide evaporator coil$. I don't have too many other choices. Ironically, the same A.C. unit  went out on me two years ago this week. It chugs along all summer, trying to keep us cool and just when the weather starts to turn, it gives out. It's tired.

The cool front moving through tonight will only drop our temperatures a few degrees. We'll be cooling off to "normal" with highs in the upper 80s instead of the low 90s. But another push of cool air toward the end of the week should make it feel a lot better, with cooler mornings and lower humidity.

By then my new air conditioner will be installed. And I won't need it.

Now when I talk with Canadian my sister-in-law, I don't have to run outside and check my dual thermometer. It's also past time to go metric for everything.
