Fans and Hawks . . .
One of the things I got yesterday at Harbor Freight Tools was a set of drill bits with 1/4 shanks.
This lets me use them in my regular drill, and also my WORX Power Screw Driver that I find myself using more and more. Small and still very powerful.
Around 11 am I put in a call to Fantastic Vent to order another motor/fan combination for our bathroom vent fan.
I really like the look of the clear plastic blades. They let a lot more light in, and supposedly, they’re made of tougher plastic than the old one. When I replaced the front one a couple of days ago, I notice the old blades were very brittle and could be easily snapped with your fingers.
The other thing I noticed was that the motor on the new one is much more powerful and moves a lot more air on HIGH.
Hopefully it will come in sometime next week.
When we arrived this past Monday, our neighbor pointed out a Red-tailed Hawk nest across the river from us. And there’s some activity going on in there. You can see a head sticking up.
Unfortunately it’s at the far end of my 72X lens so I doubt I’ll get much more. But I have seen one flying back to the nest.
The weather today was pretty cruddy. Solid overcast all day, with rain on and off, but it still made it up to 72°, which means it was just sticky all day. In fact after dark the humidity was so high that it kept triggering the rain sensor on our vent fans, making them open and close. So finally we just bit the bullet and turned the AC’s on.
Don’t know what’s on the agenda for tomorrow. We’ll have to see how the weather holds out.
