Dude is the man.
Where would any of us be without Dude?

I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there, the Dude, takin' her easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes The finals. Well, that about does her, wraps her all up. Things seem to have worked out pretty good for the Dude and Walter, and it was a pretty good story, don't ya think? Made me laugh to beat the band. Parts, anyway. I didn't like seein' Donny go. But then, I happen to know that there's a little Lebowski on the way. I guess that's the way the whole darned human comedy keeps perpetuatin' it-self, down through the generations, westward the wagons, across the sands a time until we-- aw, look at me, I'm ramblin' again. Wal, uh hope you folks enjoyed yourselves.

He's gone and the heat's on
He says he got the water out, replaced the strainer, the filter, and the nozzle. He says if water got into the tank it could stop the heat from working again. He says the huge amount of moss growing on the intake pipe is a bad sign. He's gonna tell the real estate company that they should change out the exhaust, because although it works now, it's decrepit and could block easily. I doubt they will do that, so I am getting a CO detector, or maybe several. |

If the exhaust is prone to getting blocked with snow, or having little critters crawl into it (both of these things have happened in houses I've lived in), you can put an elbow on the exhaust pipe (keep the opening from being exposed to the wind, or from pointing upward) and a mesh over the opening. Although you guys probably thought of that stuff already.
And, CO detectors. What Trilby said: GREAT idea, one on each floor, minimum.

Yeah, a CO detector saved my life in my old house. I think i'm repeating myself...but i am all about the CO detector. I was laying on the sectional sofa, listening to surround sound watching big screen tv. Lazy day, tired anyway. Detector went off and i evacuated me and my cats and fixed the problem. I could have just fallen asleep.

It was 35.58 for the oil and 700.00 for the calendar.
