Non-functional Climate Control

[Frank Stadmeyer]

Bob, I just called him and he said that it was fine when he got in the car
to go home, so your theory sounds right on.  He lives out in the "boonies"
of central Connecticut  and it was probably colder there this
morning.  When he left work it was about 40 deg. F so it probably sprung
back properly on its own. He knows what to watch for now.

Thanks a bunch.  This list is great!
