Good job Roy.
The locally owned bank that we have been using for several years sold out to one of the mega banks. I received a notice that I needed to change my Username and Password. They said that the password needed to contain capital letters, small letters, numbers, and special characters. I told them. My password contains, Spanish, English, capital letters, small letters, numbers, and special characters.
I told them that I was old and not going to change to their demands ¡.. I did tell them that I had no problems changing banks.
I am still banking there with NO changes. My sister said I was getting ¡°difficult in my old age¡±. She might have something..

?Our furnace is 20 years old and the service technician that just did the maintenance said he thought it needed replacement. The salesman they sent out to give a quote was a little too slick for my liking, to begin with. In addition, the price he quoted was way too high, I thought, but he kept touting the lifetime guarantee on parts and labor.
¡°Son¡±, I said, ¡°at our age a 5 year warranty is pretty much the same as a lifetime one.¡±
BTW, I called a different, local, family owned HVAC business for a 2nd opinion and their technician (with 35 years experience) said the furnace was in fine shape and didn¡¯t need to be replaced. I asked for a replacement quote anyway, just to compare the numbers.
I don¡¯t know if we¡¯ll replace it at this point or not, but the old company (a big corporate business) is about to get 86¡¯ed. They have been way too aggressive about always upselling new services and gadgets and now I¡¯m pretty sure there¡¯s unhonest behavior from service driving sales on questionable findings.
I think the honest guy¡¯s quote is going to be a lot lower, too. We have been trying to give more work to these local, family-run businesses anyway.
