I keep a pretty close eye on our central HVAC unit (located up in the
attic), and vacuum-clean the coils, check for leaks, etc. myself. The
last year or so, however, especially if it's been off for a day or two,
when it first comes on, little flakes of medium-brown paper, the
biggest about like the end of a pencil, come down from some of the
vents. Can anybody tell me what this is and where it might be coming
from? I can't see anything like that in the central unit.

Thanks,
Ron M.

Sounds like jism that the installer left in the ductwork. Don't worry, it
will go away in a few years.

Bubba,

my "bad day" posting is very funny and has some secret sauce at the ending
of the video. I promise it is safe to view.

Actually, you are VERY confusing. You are turning into PJ without the (so
far ) maniacal outbursts. To put it in your own words, "it must suck to be
you". You used to be more rational, but I guess the holiday blues got you
down? anyway, that's your problem.

Ah, that felt good. una mas dos Exxis por favor

Heh heh, I'd love to chat more, but I am going into the city to spend New
Year's Eve.

My command of the English language is fine, although yours is only 2 notches
up from Dido, but he has an excuse that English is not his first language.
If you'd like, you can meet me and Dido ant 42nd street and Broadway.

I'll be the good looking guy with the mustache and the beautiful babe with
the luscious tits. Oh yeah, you've seen them already.

Have to run now.
See you there?

It is the fully aged quality inspection seal on the inside of your ductwork.

Actually, it does not suck to be me. I am quite happy with my life and
successes. You don't hear me bitching in every post of how stupid everybody
is. I enjoy my work most of the time. People call me from all over the World
for my expertise, gained over almost 30 years. My customers spend upwards of
almost a million dollars and I help them over the phone to troubleshoot
problems if and when they happen for no additional charge :-). Our own
service techs call me for help when they are on site and get stuck.

And, I remain humble for the most part, not an angry arrogant asshole like
you no matter how smart you may or not be.

I used to admire your mix of humor and Oscar the grouch helpfulness. You
have tuned into Darth Vader, Aniken Bubba. Heh, Heh enjoy the role, you fit
it perfectly.
Others in this group seem to be disagreeing with you more and more. I know,
who the fuck cares about anybody else, Bubbaken?

Now that WAS a strain for me to type, considering how I feel after lasts
night's celebration in NYC. Got up too early. What's good for a hangover
Bubba? you must be an expert on that too.

I have seen the algae/sludge buildup in the coil drain pan dry up and
turn into small flakes which can be blown out through the ducts. The
stuff is brownish color and could be mistaken for bits of paper, I
suppose. Larry

Bubba,

Like it or not, you are quite amusing only because you view things from your
perspective.

My hangover is gone, thanks.

I never said it was MY company. I work for a company with about 5 thousand
employees.

We have sold tens of thousands of those machines over the years.

As far a me being full of shit: maybe I am, but I don't often hear people
spewing the tons of shit you do. You certainly need the shovel to clean up
your own shit.

Anyway, I'm done with this thread, so just have a Happy New Year. I don't
hate you, whether you give a shit or not.

I'm here for the fun; you've got lots of others to argue with. I've got
better things to do than go back and forth on crapola.

Bob

Does HomoDepot give you those orange aprons, or do you have to buy 'em
