Winter may have finally made it here. Something like winter, at the very least. Turned on the furnace. Got all kinds of natural gas smell. Turned off furnace. I aired out the house, and called someone to look at furnace.

An hour to get here. Spent a whole lot of time roaming around, testing for leaks, fiddling with things… Did I mention I was strongly encouraged to stay outside while this was happening? Explosions, you know. Not that there were any explosions. Just in case.

Wrong person.

So, now there’s going to have to be another round of furnace fun with the right person before there will be heat.

Fortunately, it’s only supposed to be in the forties tonight.

And it’s certainly no hurricane.
