Smoke
School Stories
Strange things, can and do
happen. Getting ready for today's school, in the dark, I
turned everything on to make sure it was working. When I
flipped the switch for the blower it made a thumping noise,
then quit and the motor just hummed, then blew a fuse. So,
fumbling in the
dark I looked down the pipe into the blower to see if there
was something in it. Low and behold a possum had entered
the stack where it is hinged and looking for an escape
route, tried to get out the blower. Ever read the opacity
of possum fur ? I had to take the plate off and reach in
and pull him out. As soon as he hit the ground he laid
rubber and was gone. Never seen a posssum run that
fast. Never seen a BLACK possum either. I had thought
many time that I needed to make a cover for the pipe,
was worried a cat or some thing might get in there. It
finally did, so this afternoon I made a cover for the
pipe. Might want to make one yourself, before some thing
get's in your blower.
