    PSA: Of you smell toast coming from your furnace, it’s probably a squirrel

    I’m an HVAC tech and I see all sorts of nasty shit, but this one takes the cake for the year. Customer complained of a weird smell coming from her furnace, low and behold I found a roast squirrel. Bastard arced himself out on the electric elements and went poof. One of the worst clean ups I have had to go through in a minute. So, if you smell toast you might not be having a stroke, but be sure to check your furnace for a furry fucker that got too curious.

    Again, TRG provides the kind of useful information that keeps me coming back.

    How does squirrel toast compare to natural gas on a per therm basis?

    I've seen much worse. At least it wasn't a couple house cats.

    I found a half slice of dark roast on top of the spare tire on the Highlander this summer. Who does that? There I am on the side of I-95 in Augusta, ME, trying to figure out how to unhook the spare from the cable after lowering it and there's a half slice of fairly crispy toast sitting on the spare. Somebody had way too much time on their hands. Either that or a squirrel stashed it there.

    On a similar note, if you discover lots and lots of flies in your garage, check your ski boots for a dead squirrel.
