Well, Looks like it worked. Took the thermostat setting, and placed it on the Off/Reset position. Climbed onto the roof, flipped the breaker to the off postion. Clicked the reset button, and let the breaker sit in the off postion for 5 minutes. Flipped the breaker back on, climbed off the roof, clicked the thermostat into the cool postion, and is now pumping 60deg air, and the compressor hasent shut off.
Another note. I didnt see 2 fuses in the breaker box. Just the on/off breaker switch and wires.

That's good news. I'm positive the circuit was being held open by the timer rather than the breaker. Breakers reset immediately unless they have thermal overload protection which very few do. In that case, the thermal O/L has to cool off before it resets. By waiting five minutes, you just allowed the timer to go through its cycle. If you had shut it off again before it did, it would have reset and started the sequence all over.
