Ha... Very few of you even know what that is.

I got a call from a friend who asked if I could check on why Grandma's furnace would not turn on. (he lives 130 miles away). went there and figured, after about a half hour, that the induced draft fan was not working. Rather than spend a hundred plus $ on a new one, I opted to try to save it with some lube. Lube worked and she was so grateful that it did not cost several hundred to get fixed. "How much do I owe you" she said. I said "A cup of coffee". No, that was not the correct answer. After a minute of back and forth, she shoved a $20 in my back pocket and t0ld me I had a nice butt.

Is life good or what?

So the bottom line is, you fixed an old lady's problem with lube and she paid you for it.

Sicko.

Yeah it's the tiny version of what proper boilers use.

Facilities Engineer here. Trained in operating boilers >100,000 hp. Why they use hp for rating some is kinda weird. I have 84k MMBTU of boilers at my work.
