Calm down oh hasty one. I refuse to allow the thermostat to trip until at least September 20. I do need to shut down and vac the fly ash out though and examine everything for wear. It sounds to me like Winter is going to be a real witch here in the Alleghenies so we at least need to be sure everything is ready.

I read the squirrels seem to hide nuts, but later they have no idea where they left them.ratherbeflying wrote: ↑Tue.
