The furnace man cometh. . .

He ain't Joe the Plumber, but this veteran furnace man was most welcome this afternoon. The furnace has been fritzing intermittently so we wanted to be sure it could be trusted on its own for a while. A couple of new parts should do the trick, though we wonder why an eight-year-old furnace gets so cranky.
Seems like everything has been falling apart lately: the doorbell quit ringing, the GFI for the Christmas lights crapped out, the toilet wouldn't stop running, the garage doors keep reversing, the towel rack won't stay up and the volume control on the movie editor has a bug... now we don't really dare start the car to head south for fear it will blow up.

Guess the furnace isn't the only thing that's cranky around here.
