My Man...... He did it again!

Yes He did! George fixed my "hot-flash" fan yet again :). He cracked me up when I told him it died again. He had found a fan in the back closet...One of those kinds that doesn't really blow air like imine. (You have to feel the air this little fan puts out to believe it). He tried switching the blades! I never would have thought of that.  Unfortunately, the blades on the other one are bent in such a matter that the motor is reversed, and the air blew backward.  I could have just held the fan backwards. That would have worked too.  But then last night he was down in the basement... "His Shack" and was at his workbench.  He used his equipment to test the motor on my fan. It was...sniff, sniff.... dead.   Sooo, he figured out how to reversse the motor on the other fan and put it in mine. It's all taped up again and working nicely. He said however that he's not sure how long it will last.  Have you ever met a fan with as many lives as this one? LOL  I am sooo grateful !  He's my hero :)   He just laughs when I tell him that..  I wish I would have gotten a better shot of the equipment he used to test this tiny fan. Too funny to me!



And speaking of hot-flashes, my daughter NIcole being a smarty pants as usual, brought me home a gift from the beach.  Gotta love her!


It's such a relief knowing my yard work is done..... for now. That is until it's time to weed, but the heavy work is all over. Thanks to my neighbor for giving me mulch to finish the rest of that side I was working on. He was delivered too much he thinks. So generous of him.  How nice it was to come home last night and not have to worry about it. Now I can focus on maybe getting some hooking, or punching done in the evenings. Last night I just took it easy since I was very stiff and sore from the weekend.  Really hoping tonight I have the motivation and energy to sit and pick up the hook.

It's raining and dreary out right now. I'd rather wake up to some sunshine, but hey, it's another day... And I won't complain about that!

Enjoy your Tuesday everyone. Hope the sun is shining near you and you get lots done today!

I'm glad that George fixed your fan, I've got mine fanning me right now. I just came in for a few minutes to cool off before I go back in the hot humidity working on fixing my brick border in the flower bed.

We're suppose to get rain tomorrow so I better go now.
I LOVE that sign. JB
