All I want for Christmas is some heat. Spent the morning going to Home Depot, Ace, and finally a plumbing supply that was open to get a part for what I had hoped would be an easy fix, but our boiler still won't kick on. It's been acting up the last week or so, but I've been able to get it going every time up until now.

To add insult to injury, I stopped at DD on my way home to grab some food since our morning got jacked up. $17.55!!! for two sandwiches, small coffee, and small hot chocolate. f*** outta here with that.

Oh well Merry Christmas anyway HF! Hope everyone has some warmed up hearts for the holidays.

The fact that you're risking blowing up your house by fixing a boiler means you know more than me, I shall still arrogantly suggest cleaning the little sensor that tells the burner that it is indeed lit and should continue pumping fuel. If that thing gets dirty and it can't detect the fire it shuts everything down, assuming it is just spewing gas or oil

That was the part I replaced. The electrodes definitely spark, but the pump that sends the fuel through the nozzle doesn't kick on. Have a friend of a friend coming Thursday to take a look at it. I can fix/rebuild just about anything around the house, but mechanicals are where my knowledge base gets sketchy. I have actually done some work on this, though over the years out of necessity. Never had this issue before.

Well done doing the only thing I know. Shame it didn't work. Try violence, perhaps?

The Universe
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a forum homie was stirring, not even a mouse;
The memes were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Cornboy Jojo soon would be there;
The homies were nestled all snug in their threads;
While visions of Torts being fired danced in their heads;
And MSE in his ten gallon hat , and BernieParent in his gavroche,
Had just hibernated our PCs for a long winter's nap,
When out on the forums there arose such a clatter,
The Child, Thatcher Venmo and Starat Jr sprang from their beds to see what was the matter.
Away to the web browser they flew like Sarge,
Tore the conditional picks many at large.
The moon on the crest of the fourth line grinders,
Gave a dullness of grit to the team below,
When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
But a lot of tassels and eight American trucks,
With a pinky held out with decorum and mojo ,
They knew in a moment he must be Cornboy Jojo.
More rapid than Eagles fans to WIP they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
"Now, Beef Invictus! now, Lord Defect! now Jack Straw and Magua!
On, Panther! on, trostol! on, Striiker and pit!
To the top of the corn stalk ! to the top of them all!
Now detassel away! detassel away! detassel away all!"
As husks that before the Aho's hurricane fly,
When they meet with hockey dinosaurs, still clinging to the old;
So up to the forums the stats they flow
With the flatbed full of memes, and Cornboy Jojo too—
And then, in a twinkling, they heard on the roof
The stomping and echoing of each fancy boot.
As they drew in their head, and was turning around,
Down the forums Cornboy Jojo came with a hound.
He was dressed all in finery, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with tassels and soot;
A bundle of stats he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a cornboy just opening his sack.
His eyes—how they gleamed ! his dimples , how merry!
His cheeks were like berries , his nose like a tomato of cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a jet sweep ;
He had a dapper face and a small round belly
That jiggled when he chuckled, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was joyful and fancy, a right jolly old lad,
And they laughed when they saw him, in spite of themselves;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his mead
Soon gave them to know they had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his pinky aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the boards he rose;
He sprang to his truck, to his team gave a brew,
And away they all flew like the HF Flyers crew.
But they heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and Happy Holidays to the HF Flyers homies. May your holidays be merry and drama free.

Revengeeeeeeeee is mine Jojo.

Any advice for this fella who will be in Disney the week of New Year's? Should I just shoot myself in the face instead or what?
That's probably a good bet...lol. I would absolutely stay away from magic kingdom on NYE as that's where most people will go. The other parks should be a bit less crowded that day
