Stone cold sober, if you can believe that. Been layin off the sauce since New Years. Body needs a break - been at it for almost 3 decades non-stop.
Yeah definitely looking forward to getting that stoker in. Seems like a much less stressful operation. 8 seasons of manual operation are enough for me!
That thing was blasting off for 3 minutes before I noticed. With the TV on, I heard nothing. The smell is what caught my attention ... then I switched the monitor to the basement view .. and HOLY *censored*!! I didn't know if that was smoke or steam, so I was jumping over cats & chairs .. and I think I touched only 3 stairs on the way down.
The humidity in the house went up 10% in less than a half hour!
