Did it come off at some point in the

IIRC, I took it off months ago, when it was something like 95 degrees
outside, but all I could do was stare at the setup as I didn't
understand how to troubleshoot.

But, not having A/C in 95 degree weather is nothing like not having
heat in 32 degree weather; so, it's more important to figure it out
now than in the summer.

I'm ok, by the way; but the wife and kids don't like the cold.
