Are You The Cameraman?: New Furnace Install

About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

New Furnace Install - Phone Line Repaired

TDS employee Kevin reconnects our phone line.

Yesterday morning, the16th, (Presidents Day) at 7:30 Three man crew from Bartlett's arrived to install new furnace. Job was completed by 9:30. Went to go to the bank to get cashier's check for $7,000.00 fee and discovered bank was closed because of Presidents day. Also at 9:30 Kevin from TDS Telecom arrived to reconnect our downed land line phone line.

Today the BH had an appointment to have blood test at 1:00 After that we went to the bank and got check for the furnace. We drove the check out to Bartlett's office in Adams. So those two items have been taken care of.

Temp hit 40 degrees today. I took 5,865 steps. Yesterday it was 6,068 steps.
