I get annoyed if it takes more than 10min to get to work or back home again.
Then I saw this,

The pilot on My gas furnace(central heater) is out again, plus I have no idea of the exact procedure to relight the 30yr old heater, nor do I have what's need to relight this obsolete piece of junk(an auto reignite for a Coleman gas heater for a mobile home would be great, but they supposedly don't exist anymore), for the 2nd time today I have the oven on at 350F, door open(for a bit), last night the heater worked fine, when I'm at the thermostat I can hear a click from the furnace, but that is all, I have no other heat that is cheap, I cough when I'm cold, and My right hip joint hurts(the joint had gone THUNK once), plus I just snapped at Grace. I'm also sweating as I was in the bathroom recently. The power is on at the heater, and the gas valve is in the position for operation.

Now for those who can't tell,
this is not a water heater, OK???

Last time I had someone out here earlier this month, this cost Me $75.00 to get the pilot lighted, which I do not have now, this time it could be the gas regulator or the pilot is indeed OUT.

To get the pilot lit, one has to open a spring loaded inspection hatch, and hold the regulator I think, in other words I need 3 hands.

I'm in slight pain, My right hip dislocated in 2002, I have OA there now, when the air is cold I have problems walking and standing, plus I cough. Right now I'm sitting down.

The room temp at My PC is barely 70F, away from there is maybe 68F, outside is 47.7F.

Ok I got someone from the park to light the pilot light of the heater here, then the heater started to put out warm air until it was 80F in here, so I now have heat again, hopefully this will last a while. That's the good news.

The Bad News is the Park had a change in Management, bad news for the last Manager, now the maintenance guy is the manager until further notice, for Me that's Good News, now the oral contract that I had with the former manager is no longer in effect(there were no witnesses, so I've always owned this place since 2006, legally), of course by CA law it would be expiring soon anyway, like at the end of Nov 2016, as the CA statute of limitations(section 339 of the CA legal code) says 2 years max, so I'm home free. I should be able to move this place whenever I can get the money, if I can that is, since the cost might be beyond My income for a Personal Loan, and I don't know of any lotto winners that could help Me get Me and My Home out of here, I know how to do this, I know who could do this, and I know where I could put My mobile home, on it's on land zoned for mobile homes.

Got news that the outage was cancelled because the new format displayed only a 'project is down' notice and nothing more. No main page.......
So Eric cancelled the outage and I suspect will be having some words with Dr. Anderson.

Ok I feel half dead, but I had an ultrasound of My bladder and kidneys today, 42 miles each way to and from Apple Valley CA, ugh.

I'll know the results sometime next week, on the 2nd I have to see the Doctor at 1:12pm.

It's time for... (holiday) Animal Stories!
Beaver walks into Maryland store, finds only artificial Christmas trees, and proceeds to trash it

In St. Mary’s County, Md., at least one badly behaved beaver is ready for holiday shopping.

The beaver was apprehended at a dollar store in Charlotte Hall, Md., the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, apparently after browsing the selection of artificial Christmas trees and trashing the place.

Hungry python gorged itself on three deer

A 16-foot long Burmese python was found with the remains of three whole deer in its gut, researchers have revealed.

The snake was trapped and euthanised in the Florida Everglades in June 2013. Researchers who conducted a necropsy on the creature subsequently discovered its record-breaking deer consumption, details of which have now been published in the journal BioInvasions Records.

UC Berkeley researchers built a wall-jumping robot
The extra agility could one day prove useful in search and rescue operations.

Meet SALTO: a powerful new wall-jumping robot built by researchers at UC Berkeley. According to SALTO's makers, the diminutive, one-legged hopper not only has the "highest robotic vertical jumping agility ever recorded," but also the ability to link together multiple jumps in quick succession.

SALTO stands for saltatorial locomotion on terrain obstacles, and the motion of the mechanical jumping leg was modeled after galagos -- small jumping primates native to Africa that have stretchy tendons in their legs that allow them to store energy and jump with more force than if they only used their leg muscles alone. ...
