Days start getting longer this week. Happy Solstice to all. Well not
really all, sorry guys down under. Light the fires and party Tuesday. If
the weather doesn't change a fire in the woodstove will do.

10.3 F outside right now, we may still hit single digits before dawn.
Sensaphone called, howling winds had blown open door. Since I was up I did
the pass and found the pump room at -2C. I do not do metric, but I know
anything -C in a pump room is not good. Can you make a living growing
orchids? Oh, its a living alright. You could loose a greenhouse on a night
like tonight. It not good enough to have a good alarm, you either have to
fix the problem or get someone that can before damage is done. I though it
might be good to have a thread of thinks we wished me knew after that 3 AM
call.

This one has come up more than once here.

Oil burners. That red reset button. If after the button is pushed, the
furnace burns for a few seconds and then trips the button again. Clean the
optical eye in the square box. The red button should only trip when there
is not a fire in the box.
