Back in the ATL after a quick trip South. Got all my grass cut and worked on two ceiling fans on our screen porch. One good thing about Hunter Fans is that you can order parts for them. When we had the house painted last year ( actually the trim since it is a brick house) the painters broke off two of the fans blades. Actually the fan irons ( the hardware holding the blades were worn out, either due to weathering or due to poor design. I was able to snap another one of these in my hands!. Pretty scary, since these could have hurt somebody if this happened while they were running. So I ordered new irons and screws. The screws didn't fit so I had to order some more. Then I found out that they had changed the blades layout so I had to orderall new blades. I thought this was going to be simple and cheap but none of my household fixit projects ever seem to be simple or cheap. So I got both fans assembled and operating and attempted to attach the light kits. You have to fish two little screws up into the weather proof light assembly into the fan, into a hole that seems about the size of a pinhead. The screw kept dropping out and then when I got it in the light assembly it would get lost in the assembly. All this while work in the head, overhead, and on a ladder. I worked on one light with Cathy about 30 minutes and decided to try again when the weather is a little cooler. I did this about 11 or 12 years ago when we built the house and had forgotten what a bear it was. I would like to meet the fool responsible for this design!

Back into town on Saturday night and got up to go to church on Sunday. It 's been a very fast and busy weekend.

My BMW is not running. I am hoping to get it going so that I can get it into the shop sometime next week. It is a good car but at 23 years old, any car of this vintage is a challenge. I is a blast to drive however. I am headed out to the car port to see if I can get it running.

Did pretty fair with my eating this weekend but not perfect by any means.

So long...
