Yesterday, it occurred to me that I hadn't visited my poetry page in months, so I went to check it out - the place was dead; the user groups I used to be in haven't seen any activity in literally months. I realized that, aside from the one new song to which I'm trying to put lyrics, I haven't written anything, and I mean *anything*, poetry-like in ages. I've had no inspiration of a positive nature, and I'm so dead tired of writing negative, sad-sack material that I just sort of gave up on it. Anyone want to offer up a suggestion for me? Topic, mood, even meter, if you know a bit about that. I mention mood because, if left to my own devices, I'm certain that it would come out lugubrious, disconsolate & woebegone (HA! three cheers for thesaurus.com!! *grin*)
I figured out why the end runs of my duct work aren't getting proper flow - the more 90� turns there are in a run, the harder it is to push the air through the pipe. One of my runs has 5 3-pc, 90� elbows in it, and each elbow adds the equivalent duct length of approximately 12 ft, which means that that particular run acts as if it's over 75 feet long (over a straight-line distance of roughly 14 ft). It's no wonder I can't get any air flow from the two end runs. So guess what I'm going to be doing in the near future? Replacing all the the 3-pc elbows with smooth-walled ones, if I can. That would reduce the effective length of the run to around 36 ft, or roughly half. If I can replace some of the 90�'s with 45's, it'll be even better.
Shit, I just found something discouraging - the return run is setup completely incorrect. None of it is radiused before it enters the filter - from what I'm finding, this add an effective length of 55ft to the rest of the system! I might have to redo the return vent too. Ugh. this is gonna suck. At least it's in though, and I can correct it on my own, rather than paying someone to do it. I might ask the furnace guy about some of this stuff, but I'm not sure what can be done - I've already paid him, and the inspector signed off, so I can't really say it's not right, it's just horribly inefficient. Serves me right for trying to get off cheaply.
Fuck it, I'm going back to work - I'll deal with this shit later...
