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.

The Furnace Man and The Bat Man and The Money

 

This receipt for our first service call a few days ago (the 9th).
Furnace still didn't work when tech left.

So today pest control man Eric Jewitt came out and discussed how to examine, find, and seal up any cracks and openings that bats may be using to access our attic. Then he creates a one way opening for bats to exit in the spring. Theoretically that shuts them out for good. His fee is $5,000.00

In the afternoon Bartlett Heating guys showed up to get our furnace going. This is our 4th or 5th day with it on the fritz. (Our wood stove has been saving the day).  Unfortunately we discovered a large hole and a crack in the heat exchanger. The furnace is toast and needs to be replaced. I suspect we've been operating it for quite some time in it's damaged state. Price Tag: $7,000.00

Yikes.

6,112 steps today.
