But I will PW us to page 2.

Well done. I was tending to my furnace that blew up. Guess I'll be working remotely today.

Knew I shouldn't have turned the damn thing on.

that sucks. I turn mine on once a month for a few minutes just to see if it works. but I only need it about 2 weeks out of the year. that and my landlord has a bi-annual service contract that checks and cleans the duct work also.

Good morning Daves, Tony, and UpLateDean. Rainy again this morning, flooding in the area.  And there's this dumbass.

That is my fear every year around this time.

There's a thing called annual HVAC service.  You should look into it.

I think he tried ordering that from Small Batch Cigar yesterday.

Another non-cigar topic....any of you own a Surface Pro?  I'm thinking about replacing my laptop with one.  Saw one in action recently and thought it was really handy.  Problem is that bastard Bill Gates is mighty proud of them.  About $2K configured with what I need.

Surface but no pro.  Like it fine, keyboard is a little small for everyday.
Pro would make sense for work, I'm not quite ready to commit to that for everyday  (then again, I just went with a laptop to replacing a desktop.

Blew up is not accurate. I might be exaggerating a bit. There is a valve on the side that I use to drain the furnace of all the dirty, rusty water. I attempted to drain it this morning before turning it on and it was completely clogged. So I turned the furnace on thinking that it might help loosen things up a little... Sure did! The pipe and all the steaming dirty water came shooting out of the side.

Yeah, I looked at one. They're pricey. Wound up buying a new laptop instead. I know plenty of folks who own them and love 'em. Never tried one, myself.

Thanks.  Pretty sure one can plug an external monitor and keyboard in for desk use when not on the road.  Maybe there will be a Christmas sale.
