Jee-zus! It's hot in here!
My air conditioning went on the fritz last night. My dad, who likes it a little warm [cold-blooded leezard that he is :) ] hadn't had it on all day. When I came home from work it was a tad warm, so I kicked on the air.
A couple hours later, I hadn't really noticed that it hadn't gotten much cooler in the house. A little, but not much. I guess just because the sun went down. I just kept walking around the house shouting, "It's HOT up this bitch!" I took a shower and got ready to go see Transformers.
When I left the house, it was reasonably moderate outside. Mid 70's at 10:00 at night. Not terrible. I figured when I get back, the house will probably be
refrigerated. I figured if it got too cold for my dad, he'd turn the A/C off.
I got back home at about 1:15 AM. It was in the high fifties to mid-sixties outside. Very pleasant.
Inside the house, however, it was a totally different story. I walked in the door and
literally hit a wall of HEAT. Fuck! It was 85 degrees in the house at least. The air conditioning was blowing HOT air into the house. I looked at the thermostat and it was off the scale!
My poor dad was just sitting on my couch, stripped down to his skivies, drenched in sweat, asking, "Is it hot in here?" Holy shit!
Turns out that about once a year, when it gets really hot
and humid, my A/C unit will develop frost, yes frost, on the sensor and it will be fooled into thinking it's cold outside, not hot.
F-Guk!
