It seems obvious, doesn’t it? You keep a ledger of your account transactions, then you reconcile them with the bank’s statement at the end of each month. Simple. Everyone learns this in grade school, right? You do it because you were told to do it. You do it because that’s the way it’s always been.
I made my furnace work yesterday. I had to replace a fuse (really!) and the fan limit switch. The latter is an 8-inch probe that sticks into the plenum and acts as both the blower fan controller and a high-temperature safety override for the gas valve. Let there be heat! And it was hot.
This was just one of many things that the previous occupant neglected.
Now if only I could be sure my heat exchanger was intact… cough, cough. Wait, why am I feeling sleepy and lightheaded all of a sudden?
If necessity is the mother of invention, scarcity is the father of ingenuity.
Just so so so so so so so so so wrong. I had already made it through the Awkward Hall of Fame to this one, and it made me laugh so hard I cried. Normally that would be great but I was backstage in the orchestra pit about to start a number. My snorting was the only sound coming from the pit for about 30 seconds.
Check out their hall of fame while you’re over there.

Wow, rough ride.
I’m sorry, little Sciuridae, but your speed and angle of attack this morning precluded me from any defensive action. Your decisive trajectory seems to indicate an intent of Suicide by Automobile. Although our space-time matter-energy positioning conflict may not have been lethal, I fear fatality is high in order of probability. Your movements observed in my right side rear-view mirror could signify survival but, alas, more likely indicate pre-mortem convulsions. R.I.P. at 07:45 on Indiana Street.
The South bedroom now has floors! It only took me about 7 hours working alone.
