Thanks, Jack. I scheduled the email to go out early, so it was really technology doing the heavy lifting this time around, but I appreciate your message.Jackmartin said:Hey Erin, my email clock says you sent this email at 4:03 AM.

This is one of my favorite articles because I tagged along with my dad on the job that day. Nice memories. And those last two lines always crack me up.President

Great tip. I’ve had a few problem radiators in my 1926 house since I bought it 8 years ago and every other article I’ve read always showed or discussed the bullet type, very conspicuous air vent.
Thanks and great thory thellin’ too. 🤓0
