Good Morning People!  Our temp is sitting right on the freezing mark.  This is a good thing.  Slowly, but surely, the ice and snow are melting.  This afternoon our temps are predicted to climb into the mid 40s (F).  We have the same forecast for tomorrow and Friday.  This is good.  Spring is a little over 3 weeks away and I can not wait for it to be Sprung.

Yesterday was... interesting.  I had meetings with 2 HVAC people.  The first was with Wilbur Plumbing and Heating.  That went very well.  The rep was in my house for a little over half an hour.  Forty minutes after he left, I received an email with four different quotes.  I was impressed.

Around noon the rep from Topline showed up.  He was an overweight older man with bad knees.  I know about the bad knees because it took him almost a minute to go down my basement steps and he told me his knees were falling apart.  It took him just as long to climb back up them.  Did I tell you he was overweight?  He talked about the size of my furnace and basically told me 3 times how much he knew about furnaces.  After the basement excursion, he went out and sat in his car for 45 minutes and built 2 quotes.  After building the quotes, he wanted to sit down and go over them with me.  With an obvious lack of enthusiasm on my part, he began, not with the a description of the furnace, but  with a rubber cuff that wraps around the hoses coming into the house which keeps mice out... and I'm thinking, that's his selling point?  Anyway, he left shortly after that, and he's supposed to be emailing me those quote. 

And for those of you who are interested, you can rent the Shane / Ilya house for only $1000 Canadian a night, however you can't use the fireplace.

Of course, Orangie had his State of the Union speech last evening.  I didn't listen.  He broke a record.  His was the longest State of the Union speech on record.  He also went into it with the lowest approval rating of any president in history.  I didn't watch it, but I know there were those playing State of the Union Bingo.

The Meidas Trouch counter programing had over a million viewers.  I haven't checked to see how many Americans tuned in to listen to the Orange Anus lie, not that it matters.  He will claim it was the highest rated speech in history.  From what I'm seeing, however, no news service is being kind to him except probably Fox and Newsmax.  He desperately tried to play the part of the king by giving out awards to undeserving people, like the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a hockey player.  Many are saying this was basically a rehash of his rally speeches, the only thing missing was his jerk-off dance at the end to YMCA.
