Thanks for the link.  

I'm still scratching my head, but the problem has yet to reappear.  The
only thing I did to it when inspecting was to add 1/2 can of R134a to top
it off. The reading on the top area of the "safe/green" area now.

The job will cost me a bit more since I don't have a vacuum pump, hose kit,
or tank to evacuate the system into.
