FLIPPIN



Why does it seem the SHI* always hits the fan at night? One might ask Fredrick Fleet (1887 - 1965) the crewman who spotted the "iceberg Right Ahead !" from the crows nest of the Titanic on the cold night in April.



Last night as I tossed wood into the fireplace getting ready to hit the hay after a pleasant evening chatting with friends in the LOBBY. I heard an odd humming/buzzing noise not in sync with the usual household clamor. The fan that circulates air to the fireplace heating the main level along with the basement decided it was time to "F" UP!..... I flipped the circuit breaker installed a window fan in the "emergency access" then went to bed.



Pumpkin HATES excitement or distractions in his pantry. This morning I began cleaning and moving stuff so we could change the "snorkel fan." I gathered up lights, tools and located the extra fan out in the shop. I started a small fire so we could do test runs of the new fan... Half the morning spent in prep of this undertaking.



Just for schitz und gigglez JD walks over to the main utility panel and flips the circuit breaker back ON..... the old fan takes off as if nothing had happened.... The Viking welled up inside me and I just wanted to SMASH something with a hammer! The whole morning spent in prep of a major operation ... JD just flips a switch.

Flippin' the switch often times solves a lot of problems. Next time you will know. Put the Viking in you to rest and stay away from the gin. Alcohol and Oxy's don't mix well. You know that from experience. Please be safe.

I'm glad to hear that you have not had any fever so far today. After you put all your tools away that you drug out, take the afternoon off. LOL.

Unfortunately this is the farm life... way more to do yet and I have not painted a stroke yet. Daylight is waning...

Apparently the fan had over-heated when I found it ... just cooling off overnight was all it took to save it.
