I understand why I was so hesitant to finally ditch the paycheck and go freelance. That was certainly the plan. I spent four year inside the radiant heating of a dorm room to get an education that helped pursue my passion. However, I would need to spend some time inside the commercial HVAC of a […]

When I sold my company for all that money, I knew things would change. But at the same time, I also knew that I’d always be me no matter where I lived or the amount of money in the bank. I would have been just fine simply upgrading the HVAC equipment and staying in our […]

It’s weird that at the top of the things I’m going to miss about this community is the HVAC company. That’s not exactly the sort of thing you’d normally hear I guess. But in the short time we were a member of that community, the HVAC professionals were great to us. My wife and I […]

I’m actually not suffering and we are already deep into the rebirth of Spring around here. Normally, by the time I’m watching all this college hoop, I’m also suffering due to allergies. I have such severe pollen allergies that I’m often falling asleep and missing great tournament basketball upsets this time of year. But not […]

My dad was the type who always believed in paying for quality things and then taking care of them. He was right and I try to live by the same standard. I grew up in a pretty normal house. We had central air conditioning and I had my own room. But dad and mom were […]

It’s Spring again and while I’m glad to see everything green sort of exploding with new life, I also know what’s coming. Sure, I love this time of year. And as lovely and mild as our Winter is, the Spring is just that much more lovely. And this Spring, I’m determined to stay in the […]

But this year, I’m going to enjoy the sunroom a whole lot more throughout our summer due to some HVAC technology I already miss the Winter. That’s because I love the type of Winter weather that I now get to enjoy. It’s just so much better than what I lived with for nearly 45 years. […]

When I got the text to come over and hold the flashlight for my neighbor, I knew it was a bad thing. Earlier that particular evening, I had slipped out of the air conditioning of my home for my evening walk. These days, after spending all day inside the commercial HVAC of the office, I […]

I rent a barn from a guy and I teach gymnastic lessons there. He makes a decent chunk of change with what I pay him monthly. It is nice for me to store all my equipment and conduct lessons not at my home. The condition of the barn isn’t too hot though. The bathroom is […]
