My oil furnace was installed by prior owner in 2018 and ac in 2017. I  was seriously thinking about getting a heat pump or heat pump and gas furnace, but the numbers after estimates don't work i.e. $ savings vs. cost. So I'm just going to wait for them to die before replacing them, providing I don't die first! Lol

The thing I don't like is that the oil furnace requires a chimney vent, so when it gets windy, even though there's a draft damper on the system, there's still a draft effect as from any chimney. My house is sealed well, with that the only weak spot, so I hoped to fix it but it just makes no sense financially for the little bit of air infiltration from the chimney. So the final plan is to replace the ac unit with a heat pump should the ac fail, which would save on oil with temps above 35 degrees.

I'm fortunate that my family is talented. We started at 7 am and had it pumping  air by 1pm, which included tearing out the old and installing new, plus the duct work modification from old to new.

I’m going, but was really hoping for clear weather. Bringing my son and his friend.

maybe it won't be so bad. Last years whiteout i changed clothes twice before even going into game. 

Installed new HVAC system in the original part of my house on Saturday. Ducted mini-split heat pump. Will be much more efficient then the 30 year old AC unit. My forced hot air oil will now become backup only, but doubt it will ever run. We use to burn less than 50 gallons a year during heating season. i'm looking for a serious reduction in my elec bill.

I feel like a truck hit me, backed up, and hit me one more time. I literally had to take a break going up the stairs of my house. Id love to get back to work soon, but I can't like this.

sorry man. Hope you're feeling better soon. Though we didn't have same thing, took me 3 months to fully recover.

I'm back and I learned an important lesson. Never ever go to a dentist for a root canal. I did so last Monday. I went to bed Wednesday not feeling well. Woke up 2 am soaked, in pain, and barely able to think. Lucky I was at my parents with my daughter cause I barely remember calling 911 and waking them. I awoke next sometime Friday evening in the ICU, it's all blurry. Sepsis sucks and comes on fast. I'm lucky

Not good man. Glad you are getting better. Sepsis sucks. When i was sick in may, i was septic. One of the biggest side affects is fatigue. I'm still not right. Good luck.

Light rain in Harrisburg. looks like we don't break 70 again today

Enjoy the trip! I’ll be in Lancaster Saturday - very Amish.

Hummingbirds appears to be gone here. 
That would be pretty cool seeing a baby hummingbird.

 

you guys talking about humming birds reminded me of an all time classic. My sister and BIL are avid feeders and watchers of birds including hummingbirds. a couple years ago sitting on their patio a hummingbird came to one of their flowers. and my sister says "nothing like watching a hummer" Simultaneously we all burst out laughing. For like 15 minutes she still didn't catch on to what she said. On occasion we will be by the pool and someone will just blurt out, "nothing like watching a hummer" and we all laugh again

Low of 66 with .01” of rain. Let’s see if anyone gets lucky today…..in their rain gauge, that is. 

last time someone tried a nooner, @canderson got turned down.

I intentionally left him off to keep my emotions in check here at work. Damn you, Jon for getting me wound up. 

Tomlin's has many issues...maybe one of his worst is clock management. 

sorry my man.

The game sure has changed over the years, hasn't it?

Eagles with a 4th and 4 early on - I'm telling my wife that they should take the points and move on, but I knew that Sirianni was going to go for it. He did, and they didn't get it. An easy call to second guess; however, there was a time when 100% of coaches in the NFL would have gladly taken the 3. The game has evolved into...gambling. LOL. Dan Campell, the Staley dude that got canned in LA are/were other coaches who wouldn't think twice about forgoing the points and gambling on getting 6. 

In that scenario, I felt strongly that you take the points. It figured to be a possession/low scoring game...it was, and those missed 3 points ended up huge.

add Mike Tomlin to your list

We have a feeder for the Hummers too. Last week they were hitting it hard. But this week they were hitting the flowers and weeds instead of the feeder. They were still here as of last evening. I took this pic last evening. This is our Lilac bush. It blooms in the spring, but for some unknown reason in August it loses its leaves and the it gets some new ones and we have some blooms in the fall months. This has been happening for at least 7 years now. So when I went to get a pic of the Lilac last evening there was a hummer enjoying the blooms.

 

cool picture

I have a late vacation this year and have been holding my breath on Tropical threats next week on the OBX. Looks like I get lucky and win again by not buying travel insurance. Biggest threat is too cool to get into the pool. Good thing the neighbors won't know what they're missing not seeing me in a bathing suit. Lol

If you drink enough liquor, pool water temp doesn't matter. follow my youtube channel for more worthless info 

the only positive about me getting sick, this is first year of not planting annuals or having potted and hanging plants. so i'm not worried about watering

Speaking of football - look forward to Texas going to Michigan Saturday and flexing muscle and showing them what the fastest team in college looks like. 

i was hoping this was a later game. i just looked. I guess i'll be giving the remote a workout, switching back and forth
