You know you're having a senior moment when............................
Woke up this morning and there's been a change in the weather, it was lovely, cool about 60. Got up went downstairs for some breakfast. Since it was a bit cool in the house I decided to push the temp up a bit, just to take the chill out. Turned up the thermostat and hmmm.............. nothing. That was odd, since I'd just had the burner serviced a few weeks ago. Tried the normal reset procedure, damn it! nothing. A lot of cursing in the cellar went on for a bit. I finally called the oil company to get someone out to look at the problem. Checked and rechecked everything that I was supposed to.....Nothing.
Had some coffee and waited for the service guy. Came promptly at about 8:00. We chatted for a bit and I told him what the problem was. He looked at the burner and checked everything. I told him I went through the reset procedure but nothing happened. So we went upstairs to check the thermostats. He looked at the one on the first floor and it was pushed up to 70, higher than the temp in the house. He said, ' can you get the cover off so I can get a look?'. Sure, I fiddled with it and got the cover off. And then we discovered the problem. The thermostat was set to OFF not to HEAT.He said, the first thing is 'Check the thermostat'.
I said, 'thought I checked everything'. He's a guy my age so he said, ' don't worry we all have, Senior Moments'. I thought NO, that can't be right, ME??????? Then we both laughed and I said well this will be the easiest job you have today. We talked for a while and kinda compared notes about 'moments'.
It just made me laugh. A mind is a terrible thing to loose. :ROFLMAO:
Well at least I still know what I'm laughing about. :D
