Waiting for Curly

You know how you have to take days or half days or chunks of the day off to meet workers who come to the house? This is no longer an issue. I had a call from our oil company a few days ago and they asked if they could get in to do a cleaning on our boiler. "How about 8 am, first stop, on Wednesday?" The guy was surprised that I said sure I'll be here and the appointment was set.

Then I wondered - OK, is this going to screw up my schedule for today? Ha, just kidding. I have plenty of room for adjustment. I wondered if they would send the usual guy to do the job. I think he lives close by and they give him jobs in this area.. He came by on an emergency call one day last winter and I was amused at how much he looked like Curly of the Three Stooges. I'm not sure if that was good or bad. Turns out he knows what he's doing and he got our heat going. Today, the truck pulls up, I open the garage and there he is..He not only keeps my house warm, he amused me for hours as a kid --- NYUK , NYUK, NYUK...
