I was uncertain whether the cap's tolerance difference mattered. Existing is half rubbed off and shows something like ?0/-5% and replacement is ±16/±16%. But #3 knows caps and says we're good.

As of today the fan isn't starting and the external fan draw isn't spinning the blades any more. Bushings are at least part of that.

We've got a replacement cap to try anyway but the motor won't be in until Thur.

> Be aware with the fan on top, sucking air gives much less cooling capacity than blowing air

Gotta work with what we got. It's enough to stave off thermal locking.

The house has 2 units and we're setting that stat higher and supplementing with fans.

I was there for Google Next in April and it was hovering between 95 and 100 and I was comfortable in jeans and a polo, but I would have been just as comfortable at 60.

Living in the Upper Midwest, I find it so interesting that we deal with -40F to >105F (sometimes with 80 degree temperature swings in a day or two; going from -40 to +40) just fine but folks in places like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Tampa, FL cannot seem to handle even 10 degree swings. Crazy.

South Florida is basically all coral and sand at a few dozen feet above sea level except for the small ridge on the east coast (peaking at a whopping 86 feet) which provides the bedrock for Miami.

Central florida gets up to ~300 feet, downright alpine compared to south Florida.

Then you have the panhandle, which has the highest point in Florida, which isn’t surprising because it’s actually on the main continental block of North America

To be fair, the largest factor in that is citrus greening. The industry sort of threw its hands up and gave up on trying to fight it as far as I can tell.
