Hello Mr. Sellers. [ram27bat] [sarcasm] [ram27bat]

Happy Friday the 13th 🙄

Hello All.
Playing a dangerous game of sending a half a pot of coffee to chase down stool softener pills.
Something has to break- hope it isn;t my collarbone. 🌫

Prolly gonna be that wax ring on the toilet!

I don't think it's your collarbone you hafta worry about...

Thunderstorms last night. I was deeeeep asleep and woke up to a scaredy dog whining about the thunder. He may be faking, though. I put his blanket on the bed and allowed him to jump up... leans against my leg and goes to sleep. 🤔

Speaking of sleep... fitbit gave me an 88 sleep score. Lots of time in deep sleep and REM and only when Tank woke me was I awake. =d>

Got to 74 yesterday and 76 today. Rain expected starting Sunday iffn' Cali don't hog it all.

Furnace off again. Squirrel cage migrated on the shaft and was grinding against the housing at 3am. Got up and adjusted things but it woke me up at 5 doing the same thing again. Took it completely apart this morning. Squirrel cage mounting bolt to blower motor shaft flat spot has ground a rut through the circumference of the motor shaft in 2 places. Took the motor to the garage and welded the shaft back up, then ground it round. Now to see if that works. New furnace is a month out. I ordered a new motor just in case. but it's Friday so it won't be here till Mon-Tues.

Got everything back together and fired it up. Got the house from 59 to 62 before the squirrel cage migrated off the shaft again.

Took it back apart, re welded and then drilled a depression for the key screw to sit in. Put it back together again and it's been going for 5 minutes without falling off again but still vibrating like mad.

Hopefully furnace is working properly. 🤔

Danm... you got carbon monoxide alarms? I'd be getting a couple just in case. 🌫

Shhh. Dan’s napping....






I think 🤔

I unplugged em, the constant beeping was giving me a headache. 🤔

Furnace been running fine since then.

HVAC guy came a few minutes ago with a used whole blower fan/motor assembly and is making it fit. Hopefully will hold me over until he can get a new furnace in here.

Took the pupper to a dog park and he went batcrap crazy running around. Sprinting, making cuts, jumping over other dogs. Been a while since I took him. He had some energy to expend.

Sleeping like he drank 4 bourbons.
