It was fun today … I got to go home for lunch. Our furnace is
having final death throws (made in 1976!) and it faltered. I had
to go meet the repair man and make the call on buying a new one.
He was able to breath life into it … and left the estimate of $1850
for a new furnace. We’ll get that this fall …

Sam woke up while I was there, and so we got to sit and eat chicken
strips and pickles. He liked the chicken … but he really liked
the pickles much more!
