More good news! The guys who installed our heat and A/C came by for their twice-annual service call and checked out the Veissman boiler as part of that and........
IT STILL WORKS!!! We were actually afraid to turn it on, but I had killed the emergency switch back at the middle of June (didn't need heat, here, for sure) and we didn't want any more bad news right now, but the B-E Energy guys checked everything out and it came right up with zero error codes.
WHEW!!!!! Dodged a big bullet there, but since it wasn't connected to power ( the emergency switch was "off" ) we saved it. Thank GOD!
Plus, we've got another bottle of Mapreco Portuguese wine to go with our Portuguese Cod recipe for dinner. Life is getting back to normal, and I even built a rack to store our "Flotilla" of kayaks and canoe. I needed something different for a change and managed to find some very scarce (right now) PT lumber.
Like for "Admiral Boom and Mr. Binnicle" (look them up) - 'The wind has changed - Time to move ahead........'
