    Longest time spent reading HVAC talk

    What is the longest time you have read posts online here at HVAC talk? I can last about 1 - 1 1/2 hours and Im done. Who holds the record?

    I guess if you had a # to a food delivery service, and a toilet close by you could stay on 24/7/365.

    I hear ya, I would think I had everything covered and then stumble into a new thread and took me back to square one again. I dont catch as much grief from the wife as I use to when I go over an hour or so.

    If she complains now I just say Im loking at the bank account online and seeing how much money you spent this week. She cant leave the room quick enough.

    That would be cool if they made a HVAC Talk book that had all the old posts in it and break them down into categories. I would buy one.

    Robin, I know for a fact thats not your office. I got the photo from Dice.

    I thought you once read the 9mm thread completely, from page one, to page three-fifty-two.
    Or was that somebody else?

    My normal average is probably 30-40 minutes a day. Couple times I've been known to spend a few hours on here when I'm looking for something. And a few other times I've probably spent 6+ hours on here. That was during the few times I'd get snowed in my hotel room and needed entertainment. lol

    I know the feeling. She sent me a text from across the room saying I was obsessed. Now she is watching me type this. Haha.

    I will admit that since Don sold out I have read less and less every year.

    having posted that Penton is a lot less intrusive then I thought they would be.
