After two weeks of near straight below zero nights and single digit days (a few teens) my wife got in a sort'a habit of reloading the furnace between 2:30 and 3:00 PM. That's been about perfect... the house is warm when the boy gets off the bus, I come home 'round 5:30 to a comfortable 70-71°.
When I loaded the furnace this morning at 5:00 I knew it was supposed to warm up today... I went light with the load. So, when the wife, out'a habit, went down to load and opened the door, it looked lower than she'd become used to. Without thinkin', she loaded it with a bit more than she had been because it was down. Well... we hit 33° today, she likely wouldn't have needed to load it at all.
I pulled in tonight and both doors are propped open. She meets me at the door (in bra and panties ) and says... "Sorry Stud."
When I stepped in the house my bifocals steamed over so bad they might'a dripped water‼
It's friggin 80° in here... and the doors are still open‼
But it does allow me one gimmie... I'm bound to make the same mistake sometime late March or April.
Too bad we have a 6-year-old runnin' 'round ... at our age there ain't a lot'a runnin' 'round the house in bras and panties anymore
