T2, You are one busy man. I'm glad you found the part and can repair your furnace yourself. Repairs can be mighty expensive, especially this time of the year.
Your w is opening up a bit more and I'm glad she's sharing w/you. I honestly don't see her doing anything more than staying right where she is at home and w/T2. The new year should be interesting as she is growing up little by little. It'll be time to take another temperature check in early spring...but I still think everything looks good and she's baking up quite nicely.
Good luck fixing the furnace!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
