Is it going to rain today? Depends on the weather.

Found out today my old windbreaker is not water proof. Of course this was when I reached my farthest point from my house.
Nothing in the forecast this morning about snow, wind or rain and somehow it managed to perform the trifecta.
Canceled the wife’s ride this morning due to unpredicted weather.
I should have been a weather man. No matter how good or bad the economy is doing people will always need the weather man to tell them what not to expect.

Contractor showed up. Looks like I messed it up. I was having a hard time distributing the heat in the house and I closed one of the dampers completely at the unit. It caused the unit to over heat and shut off. He has it fixed now. He did let me know my unit or one of the cheapest ones out there and he is surprised it is still working.
It had been accidentally turned off by either me or my wife

A month ago my dishwasher stopped working. Totally dead. An appliance tech came out and saw there was no power to the unit. An electrician came out and said he needed to pull the dishwasher to look at the wiring, but he's not an appliance guy so we had to reschedule. Both appliance guy and electrician came out and remembered that for some reason the power to the dishwasher is not only on a breaker, but on a switch on the wall above the dishwasher.

I did feel pretty silly, but I'll take solace in the fact that two other people missed it, too.

I wonder if there is a wall switch for my snowblower. I tried one more time last nigh to see WTF is going on, and best I can tell the fuel goes through the fuel line fine (I spilled some gasoline, yuck!) but the small plastic fitting that connects the black fuel line hose into the carb. must be broken or clogged as there is NO fuel getting in there. I tried to pull that plastic piece off but was too concerned I would break it, I tried unscrewing it but it's apparently not threaded and I decided this is the limit of my ability. I will try to get a repair guy to look at it.
But maybe it's just the wall switch??

You said you sprayed a product called "throttle body cleaner" in the carb? I was thinking about some of the products I have used and some of them will dissolve the crud (coking) but the evaporate so completely that whatever is left will harden. For electronic throttles I always used a product with an oily residue so it wouldn't leave hard deposits. I wonder if that's what happened to your fuel inlet needle.

She opened it up, and immediately noticed a wire with a fuse. The fuse was blown. We replaced the fuse, and it worked again. She's never let me live that down.

Yeah, and this was the 'more relaxed fit', because I sized up. I'll see if I can lose another 10 lbs this summer. It's much easier to lose weight then, and I think 195 might be a good place to end up. Yes, too fat for this sport, but I remember being about that weight back in about 2000 and it made a HUGE difference in climbing.

I estimate that we're at about 50 inches for the season, after this episode. That's still a couple of feet behind schedule. Sad.
