[AT] Happy Saturday!

[charlie hill]

Hi Ralph.  It shouldn't have been such a problem for me
but that furnace, old as it is, has run perfectly for the last
3 years of so and I guess I got complacent.  I had my 5 brick
gas heater stored away and didn't have any dry firewood for
my wood stove.  And of course the furnace went down in the coldest
spell we've had this year.  It actually went down a day or so before
it got so cold.  I think our low was 11F.  That's a mild day for you but
it's rather cold here.

Charlie

Thats not a good situation Charlie but I guess it would be worse here at
the -20F temp we had mid morning.
Actually nice outside in the sun and no wind at all. Cattle are standing
around soaking up the sun looking
quite happy. I'll need to fire up the old diesel Massey later this
afternoon to put a couple of hay bales out
for them.
Luckily both gas furnace and heater working fine here. If one goes down
at least I have the other one to keep
the house from freezing up. As long as the gas line keeps flowing and I
can pay the bill its all good.
