I feel your pain Tracy. Its been a steady 90 here to, and practically no houses here have A/C, lotsa fans, shades, and open windows.
My grandparents have AC in there house, so I tend to drift over there more often when its 90-100 out to BS with my grandpa for a few hours.

Yes we do.......with the "humidex" our 80 degree temps feel like 95 degrees! This past week has been blistering hot in Ontario 85-90 degrees BEFORE humidex so I can feel your pain! Today for the first time in a week its raining and temps are down to 70-75 but it'* real humid and sticky now!

My AC has been cranking all week at full blast (usually doesn't work that hard until mid July-August). It'* going to be a bitchen hot summer!

I did take them all off but didn't take any pictures....sorry. I spent last night dreaming I was a rottiserrie chicken because I had to keep turning towards the fan to cool off. It was 83* this morning and getting ready for work was a chore!!! I was so glad to get in the car and come to work so I can be in a/c environment. My dad said the guy is supposed to be at my house at 9:30 am. Hopefully he will be on time. I've got my dog tied up in the kitchen so he doesn't bite anyone. I felt bad leaving him in that hot house.

The guys showed up. Checked the unit for any leaks. Couldn't find anything but is sure there is a very small leak somewhere. They recharged it and will come back in a few days to put some stop leak in and see if that does the trick. If not I will have to buy a new unit for about $1500 I will have to start saving now and pray that this recharge gets me through this summer. I have a feeling I will need the new unit sooner than I hoped for. I've been doing this recharge thing once a year for the past 3 years and I've never quite had the money to replace the unit.

I'll just keep praying and try to sell some stuff on Ebay and save, save, save.

A bit late and a dollar short, but This site helped me diagnose my AC issue.
http://arnoldservice.com/air_conditioning_parts.htm

Scroll down for a Q/A section.
My contactor still acts up and the unit blows warm air occasionally. All I do is remove the cover plate on the unit and press the contactor to get the compressor going.
I know it'* not the same issue, but take it for what its worth
