Well, another Saturday...
It's about 3pm and so far, my Saturday hasn't gotten rolling yet. But at least, the furnace is working again... yesterday morning, I woke up to a cold apartment. I had one of my housemates call up service and make a request to have things fixed... when I got home that evening, we had three electric heaters on loan from the apartment complex while we waited to see what was going to happen with the furnace... apparently, a tube that allows condensation to exit the furnace was frozen over and so the system shut itself down as a safety mechanism... So, basically, our furnace stopped working because it got too cold! This seems contrary to good furnace operations. This morning, the 2nd workman from the complex arrived and found this ultimate problem and now we have heat again... they say that on Monday or Tuesday they'll come back and re-route the tube so that it drains into the area below the building instead of the area behind it which should keep it from freezing again. Good.
Last night I visited with friends and learned to play a new board game called "Nautilus"... Good game... longish, but enjoyable and I already look forward to playing it again.
I'm going to finish getting up and around... I would really like to make a dent in my inbox today... right now, my inboxometer reads: 299... I'll report back around 4:30 with an update.
