So, Cynra & I are getting our new furnace and AC put in on Friday. Right now, we're trying to clean out some space in the basement so they will be able to install it.

The problem is, nerds are packras, so we have loads of shit to dispose of. I have a bunch of old ID magazines I subscribed to because they were carrying Dork Tower. I did find a bunch of the old IBM Codernaut ads that absinthe_dot_ca had mentioned. Man, I'd forgotten about those.

Anyway, this morning he had an efficiency audit, which was also fun. Amusing things we learned about our furnace? It's the single least efficient furnace ever mass produced. Something like 75% efficient when it was produced, when the current baseline is like 90%.

It is almost three decades old.

Man. We might as well be heating the house with a dozen butane lighters.

On the plus side, we should be saving a metric shitload (that's a technical term) on heating now.

Man. What a total piece of shit.

Has anyone tried Cthulhu Nation? It looks interesting.
