Well Pyxatony Phil didn't see his shadow this morning. Supposedly that means Spring is suppose to be sooner rather then later. Chris said that it doesn't matter, according to the calender Spring will be Spring when it gets here. I just like the idea that Phil lets everyone know depending on his shadow.
Today starts the continuing saga of my furnace. Since the last time my furnace was worked on (as I'm sure I've said before) was before Christmas. Since then it will run a cycle, then when the cycle is done it is suppose to shut off and rest before the next cycle. WELL IT DOESN'T!!! It will run a cycle, then as its trying to shut down, the blower kicks back in and the furnace runs again. In about 5 minute intervals, it might run about 11 times before FINALLY shutting down to rest between cycles. Some times there is heat, other times not so much. Last night Chris shut the furnace off with the kill switch because there was no heat at all. So back to getting up every hour to check the oven. I KNOW YOU SHOULD HEAT WITH THE OVEN!!!! We've taken a lot of yelling on that idea from many people. However, when you can't get anyone to fix the darn thing, and its the middle of the night, you do what you have to do. Chris and I have a contract with the gas company to fix the furnace for $10/month. Its great, however when the cash assistance help we were getting didn't pay the bill and contract fee, they won't come to the house. So I have to have cash to pay the contract for both the prior month and the current. Chris gets paid on Friday, so we should be able to take care of the gas bill and contract and FINALLY? get the darn thing fixed. Maybe even fixed right, so that our soap opera of furnace trouble will be over.... Gee, just the idea of having a fixed furnace stay fixed till this summer or later would be similar to Christmas presents.
As for my other projects I've got going, things are progressing quite well. More details to come....
Till later....
