It’s supposed to get really, really cold over the next few days, and wouldn’t you know it, my furnace went out.
Well, not really. We just thought it had and panicked a bit.
The furnace has a light switch type on-off switch that is close to the light switch in the garage, and I must have hit it by mistake when I was coming back into the house.
About an hour later we began to notice it was getting a tad bit chilly in here, and I checked the pilot light thinking it had gone out, but it was lit.
That meant there was something wrong with the furnace, so I went and gathered all my tools and prepared to go to work.
Of course being a bit safety conscious, I reached for the switch to turn off power to the furnace, and that’s when I saw it.
Rather than admit to my wife what I had done, I beat on the side of the furnace with my wrench for a few minutes, then flipped the switch and went back in, pronouncing the furnace fixed.
Yeah, I’m a guy. We do things like that, and never feel guilty about it.
Unless we get caught, that is.
Enjoy today’s puzzle!
