I never got around to blogging yesterday because HTP and I spent most of the day with our niece who just moved here from Minnesota. What was she thinking?! I mean, the only family she'll have here is HTP and me. Poor kid. Oh well, we helped put together an IKEA dining room table and chairs but we escaped before the IKEA bedroom set and IKEA entertainment center were put together. As we exited the apartment our niece was just getting started on getting the drawers to her new nightstand put together and our niece's Mom was working on the entertainment system. The dresser was still in its IKEA box and the bed frame won't arrive until next week. I've never seen so many bits and pieces of stuff. Needless to say, HTP and I aren't exactly used to all that sort of activity...so...we were a bit tired last night by the time we limped home.

However, after a good night sleep, today, we plan to fix our Casablanca fan in the living room. This is a two person job with both of us standing on ladders...standing on tippy toes. When we got back to our Arizona home, we noted that the fan in the living room was non-functional. After a lot of checking, HTP figured out that the problem was in the intelli-touch computer board...inside the fan housing. And, of course, it isn't covered under our warranty. *sigh* The only thing covered under the warranty is the motor. *sigh* Anyway, two people (HTP and Me) on ladders and on tippy toes, dismantled the fan last week and removed the computer board/module thingie. The replacement HTP ordered online already arrived in the mail. Let's hope this fixes the problem. I'd hate to think we've gone through all this work just to discover that the problem actually was the motor.



It was Sarge and D Buddy's anniversary yesterday! Happy Belated Anniversary guys! It seems like yesterday that you guys were married in Paris.
