Alas, I wasn't invited, but I am pretty sure I can still fit : 1 dime, 1 penny, 1 nickel, 1 quarter, and 1 fifty-cent piece in my belly button. Favorite Thing About HVAC: Initially I was drawn to the science and engineering part of the refrigeration cycle, but the longer I am in HVAC, the more I have started to realize that I enjoy Data Analytics, Reports, and Numbers.
