This is something I do at the start of the cold season every year now, since I don't want to worry about it crapping out on a day like this. Take out the little 3" sensor rod and give it a good scraping. Furnace tech showed me how to do it the first time 18 years or so ago (the first time it quit working). Change the filter at the start of each month and doing that (also cleaning the furnace out occasionally) seems to have done the trick - never had any problems with my 20 year old furnace. Knock on wood.
Another thing I did that fucked up the furnace was putting in one of the expensive hyper-allogenic filters. Made the furnace quit working. The tech guy told me to use the cheapy $1 filters. Said the filter was for the benefit of the furnace, not me, and those expensive filters fuck up the air flow. [Reply]
When I was getting out of car earlier today I sat a Red Bull on the roof while grabbing something inside. The Red Bull slid off the roof, hit the side on the way down, then landed on the concrete floor of the garage. Both the car and the garage floor are currently filthy, and I wasn't even going to attempt to clean up the mess considering how cold it is, and the whole sticky mess is certainly frozen solid by now. But eventually I'll have to.
