I finished the yard this morning and came inside to realize that the air conditioning is not working in the house. Then I did all the things that I could do, make sure breakers aren't tripped, checked the thermostat, those kinds of things. The outside unit isn't operating. Called the A/C guy and left a message.
Just Damn!
**UPDATE** I got in touch with a guy, John Deville, who runs his outfit, Climatec, He got me up and running in about an hour, checked everything, gave me a clean bill of health and a very reasonable service bill. If anyone in Central Louisiana needs A/C work, call John at 318-794-3620. He has the PawPaw seal of approval.

Slow-blow 40A cannon fuzes blown?
If they are, replace them with the good German ones that don't blow so easily.
Our unit has died 4 times in 17 years; that lead to the outside unit being replaced twice (due to fed regulations on manufacture that made it impossible to get parts for the older units, or refrigerant for the original).
Last year in the fall I bought a portable A/C unit (uses a drier hose to a window for heat exchange) nominally to use in the garage when its too miserable to work there (reloading while sweating a lot sucks). However that unit is also a backup that can keep either the master bedroom or the living room passably cool even on miserable days. Got it at half off on clearance.
Target often has the little window units that sell for $100-150 on clearance late in the season for 75% off. A friend bought the last four from one store at ~$28 each, kept one as an emergency unit and sold three at a flea market early this summer for $85 each (Target wanted $125 the next year, good deal all around) ;)
As far as I'm concerned a spare A/C unit to keep at least one room temperate is a fine fine thing to have.
What was the problem?
+1 to what Anonymous said.
Bad capacitor. Ten minute fix. I was proud to pay the kid.
