Between the driving back and forth to Arkansas (28 hours on the road in the last month), helping my folks, and trying to get my courses ready (classes started five days ago), blogging\/Flickr\/etc. has fallen pretty far down the pile.  I don&#8217;t suspect I&#8217;ll have time to do very much for at least another week or so, but I do want everyone to know how much I appreciate all the positive feedback, and how much my family appreciates the support during my father&#8217;s illness.<\/p>\n<p>Dad&#8217;s last radiation treatment was Monday, and now the slow job of mending begins.  After a month of healing, they&#8217;ll be able to look into his throat and get a sense of how it all went, but it may be a year to two before we know for sure how effective it all was.  And so we wait&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>These photos are my parents&#8217; furnace starting up.  I was on my way out of their basement at one point with the lights off when this process started, and I just had to set things up so I could take some pictures.  My new macro lens allowed me to shoot through the ventilation slats in front of the furnace, which was pretty darn cool.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the ignition element heating up in the top photo.  In the next photo the gas has lit, and in the following two the ignition element, having done it&#8217;s job, cools down, leaving the nifty rocket engine effect of the natural gas burners.<\/p>\nNo tag for this post.\n\t<h4>Related posts<\/h4>\n\t<ul class=\"st-related-posts\">\n\t<li>No related posts.<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting up again, originally uploaded by Unhindered by Talent.
