Most people guess that I am an intelligent and capable human… however I have my own doubts, but there are times when I wonder if my brain entirely works, at all.
This is especially tscheme when I find myself making the same mortal mistake on repeat, as though I’m incapable of learning my lesson the first ten times around… For the past 30 years or so I have had the same wild enthusiasm every year when my friend and I get a few breaths of warm air during the Springtime transition.
After a long, hard winter time there will inevitably be a week or two when the outdoor air temperature becomes unseasonably warm… and I lose my mind! Out of nowhere, the outdoor weather conditions will take a turn for warmer afternoons. This fresh, humid air that comes blowing through the region and instantaneously causes me to guess that a seasonal change is on its way. Finally, our cold afternoons are over for good! That’s right about when I power down the boiler system and call my heating, cooling, and ventilation serviceman for a routine professional heating, cooling, and ventilation inspection on the heating device, then while he’s out, I have him check the big traditional fireplace, too. He’s good at cleaning out the chimney and telling me if there are any fireplace repairs to watch out for, then it makes sense; I am trying to be proactive for the looming air temperature change, but, there’s constantly a problem. Inevitably I wind up bigly letdown within a afternoon or two when my friend and I return to the cold and bitter characteristics of winter. Then, the fireplace is suddenly back in use, and I have to call my Heating and A/C tech a few weeks later to redo all his work.
