Written mostly for my own reference.
I left the house at 9:30 a.m. today for a medical appointment and then a number of meetings. When I got home at 5:30, the furnace was off and it was cold inside. Thank heavens it wasn't 20 or 10 or 5 degrees outside, as it *should* be this time of year., or it would have been even colder. Pushing the "restart" button did nuttin'. So I called the oil company. We have a service plan.
Longtime, loyal readers may remember my "we're doomed!" response when a service tech I called Ferengi would show up. It would take him two, even three visits to fix the problem. But he was the one on call on our area after hours.

This time it was a guy named Jones (and I will request him in the future). He is far more familiar with our type of furnace, and quickly figured out the problem. He also lives in Granby, much closer to us than Ferengi's home of Ashfield. So hopefully, he will be our "after-hours on-call guy" in the future.
