Furnace — Done!

MercenaryD | February 21, 2009

Finally… the furnace is working! The “pro” finally came back, he didn’t even charge for the second round of work. Mainly, I believe, because he felt guilty for putting it off for a week. But he got it to work.

Red sky at night

Natural sites in ice

Virgo

MercenaryD | February 2, 2009

Every now and again I find one of these descriptions of self based on the Zodiac that fits. Most of the time I can’t make heads or tails of the Zodiac, not that I try to hard, and most of it is borderline true. At least in comparison to me, myself and I. But this one almost hit the nail on the head.

But for a bribe Phil the Groundhog will reconsider. What do you use for a bribe when dealing with a groundhog?
