Sorry about this one being late.

So where did I leave off.
Ah, the A/C unit. It went out. Actually, the outside unit's capacitor went out. Then a week later, the inside unit's capacitor went out. The first time, we called someone in and they got it all going good. The second time, we recalled that our neighbor was in the A/C business, so he came over, took a peek, and said he'd be right back.
He apparently hangs on to the old parts people replace if they aren't bad, and had a spare one sitting around. Popped it in, and wouldn't let us pay him for part or labor. We owe him baked goods…well, more baked goods.
Now, the A/C is out again, and this time we don't know why. Nothing's coming on, or making the sound of trying to come on. But now it is cold, so we probably will let it sit a while before it becomes an issue.

Edit: Due to technical difficulties, REDSAID is hereby editing the layout of the text. No substantial changes, the addition of some punctuation, the demotion of a Capital letter, the re-reigging of a few text boxes so words don't get split over multiple lines… that sort of nonsense. Nothing to worry about. Eventually, this same sort of editing will happen for the rest of the archive, to bring them more perfectly in line with the aesthetic, but I really don't want to spend my entire vacation cooped up in front of a screen. So sue me.
