My reprieve from yard work yesterday turned sour when the heating guy showed up
to find out why the heat on the second floor isn't working. Flash forward to
midnight, where I am paying off the plumber for a few hours work installing new
relief tanks, a few other new fixtures, and a new pressure reduction valve, as
our old one had failed, leaving our home plumbing to deal with water pressure
intended to distribute water over several square miles. And at the end of it
all, only one radiator out of three on that floor actually gets hot, and the
other two just warm up a bit, so we never even completely solved the original problem.
Joy.

He strikes me he was a genuinely nice guy. And seeing he was coming from charity function when it happened I think people could cut the guy the slack. I didn't care for the F&F crap either but that's no reflection on him as a human being. If I could make a dumptruck full of cash doing crap like that I'd do it too.
Pretty much my thoughts, exactly. He wasn't much of an actor, but I still feel bad for him dying in a car crash at 40. And yeah, he did charity work, and left behind a 15 y/o, I read. All in all, he seemed like a good person.
