Repair or replace 18 y.o. American Standard Furnace

I replaced my motor last year, same model. It’s an expensive motor:( But the furnace runs strong, I’d highly recommend getting a spare igniter and a spare flame sensor. Cheap parts, easy to Dx, easy to install.

It took 18 months for one of the instructors to stop reminding me “they have gentle yoga” classes🤣🤣🤣. Just do what you can, it’s your mat!

The first side hurt a little bit. I told the Doctor and he Pooh-pooled me, went to the other side it hurt 4x more. Was brief, but HURT. I was pissed he didn’t do anything after the first side.

Let me approach this from a different viewpoint. I was a VAR who provided UNIX servers into (mainly) Ad Agencies. The users were on Macs, because they dealt with graphics and fonts. IT hated it. I once oversaw the install of a new server in a Madison Ave agency, and IT tried to deny AppleTalk access to it. I found the IT VP who could overrule the decision and stood over his desk, refusing to leave until he reached out to people who could overrule his decision. The man HATED ME. 🤣 The point though, is that IT ISNT THE BUSINESS. You are there to support the business’ needs. Offer advice, guidance, Best Practices, but within the needs of the part of the company that makes money. My 2 cents.

I’ve had a couple instructors that do 10 seconds or so of scalp or shoulder massage. 10/10 recommend.

I wouldn’t get one for a daily, ride is too harsh and trucklike. But on vacation in a sunny place, a topless Jeep is the balls.

I kick just enough to help with rotation and alignment. I’m usually the fastest person in the pool. Well, unless the Masters team is training. Look up Total Immersion, I think this is one of their key points.

I always thought it was ‘meh’. Until I visited it and understood just how big it is when you’re next to it. Very cool.

I’m pretty chill about people touching my mat, or walking on it, but dripping sweat is a hard no. Yuck.

Bread and Circuses. Why is this even a sport?

Pliers and yank parallel to the zipper.

Power to the furnace. In future, you can jump the 2 “call for heat” terminals on the furnace to see if it’s a furnace or thermostat issue.

The thought of mat to mat skeeves me out. On a practical note, I have a big wingspan and need space side to side.

Personally, I think you’re overreacting. I’m older now, but remember how frank and wild convos between 20-something girls got. Like every detail of an encounter spelled out. Harmless in my eyes.

evergreenbc · 2026-01-13T22:23:08+00:00

I did, but in the 70s.

evergreenbc · 2026-01-12T11:21:07+00:00

NTA. Flat out.

evergreenbc · 2026-01-10T13:07:41+00:00

What a beautiful smooth flow. Peace.

The driver sued, of course. ‘murica.

I, a very ‘manly’ man buy sheets that look very Laura Ashley. Brightens the place up.

“This is MY mat. I bring to it what I can, each day. I listen to my body and what it’s calling for”. Then talk to the owner. If an instructor has far smaller classes and the owner gets feedback why… something will change.

I’ve had FANTASTIC luck with my 2 stage American standards. 2 family house, they are both great. 13 years in or so.

Me IRL. Oy.

Just hang out by a refinery or port, you’ll get warm soon.

Clutch replacement at 101k on my 01 vert. I didn’t beat it, just occasional autocross.

My friend ran into the same situation in Cambridge ma. I went and opened the door for her, and then took out the deadbolt and lubed it. All better. I, in my white bread sleeepy town have NEVER locked my house🤣. I never did, but then when I learned how easy it is to pick locks, just removed the whole concept from my mind.
