What a Wonderful Morning!
Have you ever woke up and knew right away that something was not right? Well I did this morning. I woke up at 6:00AM because I was shivering. Seems our furnace decided to stop working sometime last night and the temperature outside was in single digits. It was so cold in here you could see your breath. I figured the pilot light had just blown out since the wind was blowing so hard last night but it wouldn’t light for me so now I’m sitting here waiting for the furnace repairman to come and get us some heat. Fortunately we have a couple of space heaters so we’ve got a little heat going but it’s still like 60 in here! Brrrrrrrrr!
I’ve figured out a new torture if they ever want to extract information from a terrorist. Just make him sit on a toilet stool when the room temperature is like in the 20’s! YIKES!!!! Believe me he’ll talk in no time!
UPDATE!!
Well the guy was just here to fix the furnace and guess what?? Seems the pilot light did blow out. I guess when I got up to light it at 6:00AM I must have been suffering from hypothermia and was still half asleep and instead of turning the dial to pilot I turned the damn thing off. Man do I feel like a dipshit. I’ve lit that furnace a million times before with no problem I don’t know what my problem was today. Ya should have seen the smug ass look that repairman gave me. I wanted so bad to smack that stupid look off of his face but I had to admit it was pretty damn dumb. Oh well all it cost me was a freaking service charge for the damn repairman. Good thing I’m so rich I have money to just throw away or I might be upset.
Going to the gym tonight to work the legs! I love working the legs. I hope my day doesn’t continue the way it started! OMG I’m starting to get the feeling back in my extremities!!! Awwwwwwww heat!!!!
Till next time….Lift Long and Prosper!!

Glad you got your heat back on and none of your family froze! One morning about a year ago, it was pouring down rain and I went downstairs to workout and stepped into 6" of water in basement. My sump pump had gone out. Isn’t owning a house wonderful sometimes?!

growing up I used to have to go to the basement with a rolled up piece of paper and a lighter to light those pilot lights. I do not miss that at all!! Glad nothing was broken!

"I guess when I got up to light it at 6:00AM I must have been suffering from hypothermia…" - LMAO!! Glad to know it wasn’t a very costly repair and just a service charge. I hope you had a great legs workout - heeey, when do we get to see some of those leg poses, eh?? Just sayin…

I hate that shit! When it’s something so simple. Kinda makes you want to bang your head on a wall.

At least it was only a service charge, instead of a furnace replacement.
