Winter Halo & a Functioning Furnace!

If for no other reason than that he's insanely handy, today cannot go without saying a mega thanks to Rob for fixing my furnace. And here I thought I'd have to call someone. Haha. 

I've been procrastinating [duh] putting any service time into meddling with the frigid temperature in my house. Now that it's getting colder outside though, I don't need to run the risk of dealing instead with frozen pipes and all that unecessary jazz.

Soooo.... after a couple of sessions in the basement examining the furnace, a little internet research and the advice from someone he knows, Rob got into the furnace and fixed the daggone thing with a $7 piece no bigger than my hand.

My house... is warm.
And by warm, I mean it's getting there. We're still sittin at 67 and rising, but that sure beats the 59 we were at before all of this.



literally an hour after it came out of the oven .. lol...



Oh, and if you're wondering how to pay for such excellent customer service?

Easy. Make the repair guy gorilla bread to take with him to work. (:



OH... And to top it off - tonight was a winter halo night. I'd never actually seen one of these in person, but I stepped out on the back porch after hearing about "moon rings," expecting to see some sort of tiny irredescent glow around the moon...

... Nope. Sucker was huge! It was beautiful. A little intimidating thinking of the magnitude of it all: it was completely silent with that enormous, perfectly circular ring just sitting in the sky. Folklore has it that it's indicative of approaching storms - bad ones - for the immediate future. We'll see if that holds to it. Either way, it was gorgeous.
