"Considering the wind, the temps, the fantastically insulated Olde Farmhouse, and the present float indication on the #2 containment vessel, I didn't feel comfortable pushing it to 'maybe Tuesday'..."

I am awakening to a cooling house. I've checked the furnace, and it is shut down. This could be, and likely is, because the tank is dry.

In this situation, I often have to prime the line again. My burner doesn't mix well with too much fussing, but I needn't even try that until the delivery is made.

I've also scheduled a burner cleaning and servicing for this morning, so having it at a moderate operating temperature may not be an entirely bad thing.

There are other parameters to this situation, however; how cool to let the house become, and how to integrate the fact that I'm supposed to go to work today, well ...

Le Sigh.

It wouldn’t take much to convince me to stay home from work today. It’s 2 degrees out.

Having to take care of the heater would do it in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, I live in an apartment building with a super who does that stuff, so I have no excuse.

I hope you are able to stay toasty warm all day regardless. May I recommend one of Face’s warm hugs? They’re marvy.
