Heat
For those of you in the know I recently bought a house and one of the things that sold me on it is the fact it has old fashioned kinda’ radiators. They are the ones that can burn the hell out of you if you lean against them on a snowy February night. You know the type. They populate your house under all the windows, sitting there all fancy-like cast iron with raised scroll work all over them. A girl I dated many moons ago had a really nice scroll work brand on her leg from when she was a kid.
Well, it has been a bit chilly here in the past few days. Yesterdays high temp was right around freezing, last nights low temp was hovering dangerously close to R.F.C. and my heating system has been doing its job. I evicted all the pipe dragons by going around and bleeding the system. This did not include using leeches, odd looking medical tools and chanting in Latin, I instead used a screwdriver and a big plastic cup.
This morning I drag my lazy ass outta’ bed and I walk into the bathroom and BAM!!! I’m tellin’ ya’ it was 90DEGF in there. I was in bathroom heaven. The little baby sized radiator is right behind the door so I keep the door closed. Well let me tell you, it was downright comfy in there. I took care of the three S’s in sheer summertimey bliss.
Man, I love it when something goes right first thing in the morning. It puts such a positive spin on the whole day.
I awoke this morning to sleet and snow. I cerebrated to myself, “This is going to be a fucking awesome day. Got a test first thing on sub netting and super netting, and then I go to work. Fucking “A””. So, I got ready, drank my first cup of Earl Grey, checked the weather, pressed the remote start button for my truck,and waltzed out the door. As I approached my truck, I realized that it was freaking covered in about two inches of ice. I spent ten minutes, knocking the ice away from the door jam, and I was on my way.
Sitting at a red light, I saw a van approached at a high rate of speed in the left lane, so I cogitated, “Oh Shit, this guy is going to run a red light, with ice on the road”. Just as he got to the red light, it turned green, and he passed through it running about 80 MPH.
There is an elevation difference between the two roads, so when he hit the other side, with only the front wheels, the truck slid sideways about five hundred yards down the road. Sliding into the oncoming traffic. Luckily, no one got hurt, including the dumb ass bastard that ran through the light. “Damn, what a day”, I thought, as I pulled through the intersection. 🙂
No shit!!!! That is a good start for a day!!!!!!!! I heat with a huaaaaaa fucking heatpump
cold ass heat, you got to turn the heat up to like 90deg. to get it to heat 70deg. Then all of the sudden it FUCKING BURNING YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE….
