Wow. George, thanks for the hands-on.  I would say that mine IS alarmingly
so.   Never touched it but never had a fire.  Hate to blame it on the a/c
guy, but just asked him to repeat all his steps and I guess I have to start
with new wires or get a thicker skin.

Again...Really, thanks for the up-to-date check so I can diagnosis.
Have a really great nite.  Grilled fish tacos in like 5 minutes.  Gotta go
cut some limes.

BTW-This is real time...so If you can smell it, you are close enough to stop
by. :-)
