Took a bottle from the winery to a wine tasting get-together this weekend.  Cool info on the stove plate, it will be neat to see it in place finally.

How did you make out with the heater?  They find out what went wrong?

Looks like we had a fault sail switch.  I'm not sure what that is but thats what they fixed.  We'll be camping in March and will probably need to use the heat at night.  Will find out then if it works.  

The flu bug missed us, maybe the flu shot helped us this time.  Yak and Tech - hope you are both recovered now.

The blower has a safety switch which acts as a sail - it gets blown by the air pressure which activates a switch.  If the blower won't blow, or won't blow enough air (a nearly dead battery will cause this), the safety switch shuts down the rest of the furnace so it doesn't overheat.

Mostly better, thanks.  After a week I felt fine but it moved into my nasal passages and has been lodged there ever since.  Finally clearing up, I hope.  And I always get the flu shot!

So is that a DX contest weekend again?  

BTW, studying for my General right now.  I had the Tech tests licked every time I tried them on qrz.com, need to read up more for the General.  I'd like to do both on the same day.
