Default Thermocouple replaced now what?

Have replaced the thermocouple in my furnace, worked fine for a few
weeks but pilot still blows out once or twice a week. The furnace is
one of two and it is set to 58 at night and comes up to 65 in the
morning. I notice it is out always in the morning.

Thanks

any time i had problems with a pilot light blowing out: i turned off the
flame, blew out the pilot and then took a brush(like a long skinny one
that is used to clean the refrigerator coils and gave the pilot area a
good sweeping... it removed the dirt/dust off the pilot and it seemed to
help give a bigger/better flame for the pilot.. relight and it would
stay on......
