Morning, SleeplessInBuffalo. I'm the same way with naps, take them too late and I have a hell of a time falling asleep. Hell, I even sometimes have trouble on Sunday nights if I've slept in that morning.

Nice to get that first one done. Make sure it fires up, and get that "is the house burning down?" smell out of the way.

Fair enough. I always like to wait as long as possible, even moreso now that I got the new furnace last year, so I'm not worried about it not kicking on the first time.

I usually don't need the heat until late November for a few days, December/January for a week or two, but it only runs for a few hours at a time. windows open usually.

I ran mine. I put my furnace in 3 weeks ago. New t stat too. Not sure where we are going to feel most comfortable as far as temps etc.

I must have been thinking of something else where in order to be funny they purposely mistitled the movie.

Guy who put in our new furnace threw in a thermostat free of charge, and so far, that thermostat has been worth every penny. :D

I'm sure you paid for it. You just don't know it. I remember you posting last year about getting your furnace in. What works best for me is to leave the temperature on one setting and only go up or down no more than 1 or 2 degrees. This has always worked for me.

Oh yeah, it was definitely included in the cost. I just don't think the actual temperature sensor works that well. I'll probably replace it before next summer.

Speaking of which, I broke down and turned it on, at least for a few minutes. Quite chilly in here.
-
With COVID and the supply chains it is now quite pricey for a full replacement of furnace and air conditioning. Everything has gone up. I had to wait 3 months for my condenser but I did that willingly because the equipment I was using is the same vendor I use at work.

I have a separate system in the attic. I turned that one on because my daughter's room was below 60 when I went to wake her up this morning. The rest of the house is currently at 65° and I will hold off to see if I could reach November before having to turn on the heat. I could stand to wear a sweatshirt in the house. I may light the fireplace in the evenings for the next couple of weeks.

It was 65 when I turned it on, but it felt like a very cold 65. Like I said, not sure the temp gauge on the thermostat is terribly accurate. But either way, it took the chill out of the air, so with 70s as highs the next 2 days, that should cover us for a while.

I should probably just give the furnace a visual inspection, make sure nothing flammable is leaning against it, water in the system is running clear, etc.

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 19, the 292nd day of 2021.
There are 73 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Oct. 19, 2001, U.S. special forces began operations on the ground in Afghanistan, opening a significant new phase of the assault against the Taliban and al-Qaida.
On this date:
In 1781, British troops under Gen. Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, as the American Revolution neared its end.
In 1789, John Jay was sworn in as the first Chief Justice of the United States.
In 1944, the U.S. Navy began accepting Black women into WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service).
In 1950, during the Korean Conflict, United Nations forces entered the North Korean capital of Pyongyang.
In 1953, the Ray Bradbury novel “Fahrenheit 451,” set in a dystopian future where books are banned and burned by the government, was first published by Ballantine Books.
In 1960, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested during a sit-down protest at a lunch counter in Atlanta. (Sent to prison for a parole violation over a traffic offense, King was released after three days following an appeal by Robert F. Kennedy.)
In 1977, the supersonic Concorde made its first landing in New York City.
In 1987, the stock market crashed as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 508 points, or 22.6 percent in value (its biggest daily percentage loss), to close at 1,738.74 in what came to be known as “Black Monday.”
In 2002, in York, Pa., former mayor Charlie Robertson was acquitted and two other men were convicted in the shotgun slaying of Lillie Belle Allen, a young Black woman, during race riots that tore the city apart in 1969.
In 2003, Pope John Paul II beatified Mother Teresa during a ceremony in St. Peter’s Square.
In 2010, the Pentagon directed the military to accept openly gay recruits for the first time in the nation’s history.
In 2015, Canadians voted for a sharp change in their government as the Liberals led by Justin Trudeau, the son of a former prime minister, won a landslide victory to end Conservative Stephen Harper’s near decade in office.

Ten years ago: Authorities in the Zanesville, Ohio, area wound down their hunt for wild animals unleashed by a private farm owner who’d taken his own life; sheriff’s deputies shot and killed a total of 48 animals. In Greece, hundreds of youths smashed and looted stores in central Athens and clashed with riot police during a massive anti-government rally against painful new austerity measures.
Five years ago: In the third and final 2016 presidential debate, Republican Donald Trump stunned the forum in Las Vegas by refusing to say he would accept the results of the election if he were to lose; Democrat Hillary Clinton declared Trump’s resistance “horrifying.”
One year ago: Floridians began early voting in much of the state with no serious problems reported as the Trump campaign tried to cut into an early advantage Democrats had posted in mail-in votes in the key swing state. President Donald Trump told campaign staffers that people were tired of hearing from Dr. Anthony Fauci “and all these idiots” about the coronavirus; he called Fauci “a disaster.” Health officials in northwestern Kansas said 10 residents of a nursing home had died of the coronavirus and that all 62 residents of the nursing home and an unspecified number of employees had tested positive. British guitarist and bandleader Spencer Davis, whose eponymous rock group had 1960s hits including “Gimme Some Lovin’” and “I’m a Man,” died at the age of 81.
