There's nothing wrong with a momentary flash of self-pity now and again.:)

Good, because another one's working on me--the entire outside unit (over half an hour out of its 5-year warranty) is dead, and they "may" be able to get one by late tomorrow, but Monday's more likely ("you know, the hurricane, and all")...

Of course, a cool weekend in a hotel isn't an option (you know, the hurricane, and all), so Mrs. U and 2 kids will be at oldest daughter's tiny apartment and ACLFest, while I spend a warm weekend making sure there's no co'beer left for the AC guy to steal whenever he gets here.

I have to trust the guy; he seems to be the only HVAC person working in Austin today, and--after I showed him the panel on the unit's side--he successfully removed all four screws without further assistance, before somberly announcing the demise of my compressor unit.

If this thread weren't constantly reminding me of those having a much worse weekend, I'd probably have done or said something really stupid by now. Still, there are days when I secretly wish the good Lord weren't quite so attentive when He thinks I need a humility fix...

I know He will never give me more than I can handle.
I just wish He did not have quite so much faith in me...
