That'll work

Relic
Here is a large relic of a heating unit and the tag from a heating repairman. It is an oil fired radiant heating unit that is a pain to maintain and clean. The serviceman apparently had been here before and was not happy. He notes on the tag: "What did I do to deserve this relic again?" I laughed so hard.
