No no! I didn't mean it in any kind of "I'm grabbing my ball and going home" way, all good..

And yes, I was also having one of those mornings... Weeks.. And possibly months.

Is there a patron saint of car AC I need to hang from the rear view mirror and praise daily?

St Christopher is supposedly the patron saint of travellers, and I assume you'd be travelling with the a/c on, not sitting around.

Not as such, but consider a routine re-gas every couple of years. By the time you notice the cooling is impaired you've also impacted oil circulation and are likely to affect compressor life.

If your workshop is any good they'll weigh the gas out and weigh the correct charge back in. That'll be a decent indicator of how fast its leaking (no, I don't want to hear that new compressor seals don't leak. Everything leaks, even brazed hermetics. It's the leak rate that counts).
