Handyman
I was replacing a bad part on my generator yesterday, after fighting with it over the weekend and giving up...I had to pop a dial/knob off the unit and replace it, but i had managed to take the entire dial apart before realizing I didn't need to do that - so in putting it back together I guess I didn't get a spring in correctly, or didn't have a whatchamacallit facing the right way, I dunno...
and then I hooked the 3 little hoses up to it (Its a pressure dial, there are other components relying on this dial in order to display their readouts) and apparently I hooked them up wrong - oh it was one goofy thing after another...
but I have a second generator sitting quietly hooked up correctly, so I popped its hood, made notes of how its hoses are hooked up and then went back to the first unit and put things right...course, I've now taken the second dial out and am shipping both bad dials back to the manufacturer for replacement (they are nice enough to do this for free), so the second unit is non-functional until I get that one replaced...I think the saying is "if its not one thing, its another.."
But, I'm now able to get more pressure from my generator (they go up to 15 psi, I was only able to get 8psi previously, now I can go to the max) and I'm back in action...the kiln is heating up, the tank is full of O2 and I've got rods and stringer pulled and ready to go...
I hear that some of ya'll are snatching up Rachel's eBay sets - good for you! I think its cool to have 'one-stop shopping' like that where you can get a small tasting of some great designers beads...and her prices are fabulous...
At least i'm up before noon today...I'm happy about that!!!

Yay for Donna!!!! And here I was all proud of myself for figuring out how to remove the flow restrictor in my kitchen tap! You go girl! Do they still say that? I swear, every year I get more and more uncool. LOL! Well, if I want any chance of getting up before noon I'd better scoot off to bed.
Just wanted to let you know I popped in to catch up on the blog.
Love,
Lori
