It is 11:11 and I guess I am supposed to make a wish.

Some people are superstitious, like my old friend was, and believe that 11:11 brings good luck to those who make a wish at that time.

Well, I’ll give it a shot and make a wish for the three things I would like in life; love, health, prosperity. It is pretty much the same wish each time and I guess it is working because I seem to have an abundance of each in my life. I think good health is at the top, like my heating dealer always told me, before coming down with an illness and dying! Well, to her credit she was 87 years old when she died, which was a pretty good run for the old gal. She worked at the HVAC company selling zone controlled systems and introduced me to them when I was a new contractor in town. So now I specialize in them and have learned quite a bit about them over the years. I will be working on many zone control systems for some of the HVAC customers in town the next few weeks. I have a good helper and we can do one job in a matter of a few days, mainly cleaning them up and making sure they don’t have any leaks in the ductwork. So anyway, it looks like we have some rain coming soon and I want to go for a bike ride before that happens, so I’ll see you later when I return from the naturally climate controlled bike ride.

I’ve lost both my good training buddy and my flatmate to love.

• They both met someone and are now pretty much ghosts in my life, spending most of their time with their newfound lovers.

My flatmate is pretty much over at his place each night and day and then at work the other days. I bet it won’t be long before she tells me she is moving in with him, which I suspect will happen within the next month or so. That could be perfect timing though because my buddy from the States is supposed to move in soon. HVAC work is what he does, specifically hydronic heating installations, and he is going to do the first install in my flat when he moves here in two more months. There may be a window of a month or two though where I am living alone because he may take longer to get over here than he thinks. The local contractor that he works for still has quite a bit of heating and cooling system work for him to do back there and it may take him longer to do all of the HVAC work before he can move over here. I am fine with a month or two of living alone because it is quite peaceful in this flat when it is just me and my cats. My flatmate owns a local business and it keeps her busy most of the time with the HVAC systems she sells, so I don’t see her that much during the week. It’s all good in the end.

I just heard my cats get into a fight with my roommate’s grumpy cat.

I’m not sure why but each time my flatmate comes home I hear the cats fight soon afterwards, almost as if she has them fight on purpose.

But I know she is just trying to get her cat around mine so it has some company, yet each time it is around them it attacks them out of fear. My two cats never try to pick a fight with hers and only want to be friends, but her cat carries anger inside and it comes out. Gas fireplace installation is also on my mind as today we are getting a small gas heater to keep us warm. I like fires but can’t have a normal fireplace in this flat because of the laws, but a small portable gas one is allowed as long as the flames are contained. We just want some fire to see on those cold winter nights when it gets dark out by 5:30 in the evening. Our main HVAC system gets a break on some of the cold nights because the gas heater does a good job of heating up the flat. Most of the time we don’t need any heat in the flat, but on those nights when the temps drop below freezing we need some kind of climate control system to keep us warm, and a gas fireplace does a great job of heating up the flat on most winter nights. We plan on having a few dinner parties with the new stove.

Heating tune up

I’m happy I didn’t play too many sports last night because my body was really tired and needed the rest.

Some of my friends were playing last night on the beach and I came just to watch.

But finally I caved in and played two games, which was not too bad because we played three on three and it is a lot easier than two on two. So today I am not feeling too bad like some days when I wake up and feel like a train ran over me the night before. The teams had a few heating and cooling reps playing on each side and the teams were pretty good, as a group of HVAC techs were in town from another city and they were really good players at one point in their lives. They were a bit out of shape but you could tell that they played at or near the pro level at one point in their lives. When I was a new HVAC technician just out of HVAC school I was playing the AA level and would sometimes jump into the pro level to test my skills, but my cooling dealer kept me quite busy with work so I couldn’t practice enough to get to the top level. I am fine with making it to the AA level, considering that I didn’t start playing the sport till I was 25 years old. Anyway, I am going to do a little ductwork cleaning job now and then see if I can get some nice climate control by the sea on my bike ride.

The cats are all fat and happy now, but not until a bunch of food got tossed into their food bowls.

I wake up to three cats meowing and hungry, so the first thing I do in the morning is feed the hungry lions so they calm down.

They are really quiet during the night though, which is really nice as they are nocturnal animals and could raise all kinds of cane while we are trying to sleep. I have woken up a few times at night and found the cats sleeping in the middle of the night though. Air purifiers in my home keep the allergies at bay as they clean the air and give us some good indoor air quality. We have three of them and they do a great job, along with being really good white noise generators to help block out the sounds from the bars around us. This local business out back can get pretty loud, so having some type of noise filter really aids in sleeping well each night. The local contractor told me about these air purification systems and we ended up buying one at the HVAC company soon afterwards, which was so nice that we bought two more for the other rooms. They do a great job of grabbing the dust and cat dander so that nobody suffers from allergies in this flat. My heating tech buddy is going to be moving in with me in about two months and he is allergic to cats, so having good air purifiers is critical to him not suffering.

I will be working in the office on my own later today as the place is shut down for the week for renovations.

• It is really quiet in the building now though because they are just painting the walls and have finished all of the heavy construction.

I am going to be working in the back office for most of the day and will listen to some chill out music while I do my paperwork and inventory on the new equipment. It will be a pretty easy day because I’ve done this a million times for the HVAC company and it is like riding a bike to me. I just have to go through the boxes and mark down what kind of space heaters we got and then work on getting them sold. We are running a sale now because these units arrived late and we will be selling them in the late spring. The weather has been heating up for months now and nobody is going to want space heaters, that is unless we sell them at a good price, which is what we are going to do since we got the HVAC units for such a good deal. They basically gave them to us so selling them is going to be pretty easy. I think the heating corp that sold them to us just wanted to get them out of the warehouse to make space for the new heating devices that are going to be coming in soon. Either that or they just wanted to give us an early Christmas present.

I am ready for my infamous grilled cheese sandwich and cucumber soup breakfast after I finish this article. I am going to be in the flat most of the afternoon this week because it is unquestionably chilly out and there is not a drop of sun in the sky. I guess it is supposed to beginning raining soon too, so there basically won’t be a soul on the streets in our small city this week, and but in about two or so months the weather is going to get a lot warmer and the beaches, and local businesses, will beginning filling up again with sunbathers and volleyball players. My superb friend and I will beginning playing more gigs in the streets for currency, along with some shows in the Heating and Air Conditioning supplier where my heating specialist works. My superb friend and I have some other road gigs lined up, which pay us about $500 for just two hours of tunes, so that is something to look forward to also. I will keep toiling for the Heating and Air Conditioning supplier on the side with my Heating and Air Conditioning expert friend, doing mainly space heating system repairs and boiler sales in the store and in homes. My superb friend and I are going to play a lot this summer time and maybe I can earn enough to put a down payment on an RV so my associate and I can take our show on the road. I guess my associate and I are ready to play in climate controlled bars and clubs and beginning making some real money in this racket. I’ve been playing for almost 20 years now and it is time to take our show to the next level and see what my associate and I can do.

This week I will finish my online labor a bit earlier than normal and I am going to do a long meditation session to clear my mind and help guide me in the right direction.

I am going to meet a tunesian later this week by the church on the sea and my associate and I are going to play tunes and sing some.

I am thinking about bringing my sound system out also but I am not sure if anyone will even be out there with the chilly chilly weather my associate and I are having this week. It is unquestionably chilly out but my space heaters are keeping me nice and hot in my office as I get my labor done in a timely manner. I have a load of laundry in the washing device and I am not sure it is going to dry on the line outside because it will certainly freeze instead. Maybe running my central heating system for a few hours will take the moisture out of the air and dry the clothes faster. I don’t want to go to the laundromat to use the dryer because it is too far away. The local supplier is normally open all afternoon and evening but it is too far away to haul my clothes there, so I am going to try my Heating and Air Conditioning system’s heating device and see if it dries the clothes for me. I also have a small fan that I could put on the clothes in the study room to speed up the drying process. I will figure it out, being an engineer and all.

This week I will finish my online work a bit earlier than normal and I am going to do a long meditation session to clear my mind and help guide me in the right direction. I am going to meet a tunesian later this week by the church on the sea and my nice friend and I are going to play tunes and sing some. I am thinking about bringing my sound system out also even though I am not sure if anyone will even be out there with the freezing chilly weather my nice friend and I are having this week. It is very chilly out however my space furnaces are keeping me nice and warm in my office as I get my work done in a timely manner. I have a load of laundry in the washing component and I am not sure it is going to dry on the line outside because it will easily freeze instead. Maybe running my central heating system for a few hours will take the moisture out of the air and dry the clothes faster. I don’t want to go to the laundromat to use the dryer because it is too far away. The local corporation is normally open all day and night however it is too far away to haul my clothes there, so I am going to try my Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system’s heating unit and see if it dries the clothes for me. I also have a small fan that I could put on the clothes in the home office to speed up the drying process. I will figure it out, being an engineer and all.

I feel like a caterpillar in a cocoon waiting to turn into a butterfly this summer.

I’ve been a performing artist since 2005 and I feel that this summer time is going to be the start of some very cool shows finally.

I never would have thought that I would become a singer and drummer after getting into standup comedy so heavily for so numerous years. But life can throw you a curveball just when you thought you knew your path in life. I suppose in 2025 our band is going to be ready to take our show to local companies around the country, playing in air conditioned luxury and traveling around in a nice RV with a good Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system. I suppose after 20 years of hard work I will finally reap some of the rewards and also have some fun in the process. I consistently thought when I was a local corporation in the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C industry that I would be stuck doing that task for the rest of my life, however just when it seemed like I was locked in I took the chance and got on period in 2005 to try something crazy. My friends pushed me to do it and I have them to thank, and I have myself to thank for sticking with it so long, hard work is consistently rewarded, as I found out when I was a new corporation doing duct cleaning and repairs. Now my hard work in showbiz is starting to show some signs of payoff and I am so cheerful about it all.
