End of the Season?

It was 33 here this morning, touched 40 for a half hour earlier, and it’s only 38 now. I think winter is setting in early. Which pretty much means it’s the end of the window cleaning season. So time to find some other line of work. Even with waterproof gloves and a heavy jacket, that’s getting a bit cold to be playing with water outside.

The first bathroom ventilator fan arrived today for my weekend employer. I’m going to hook it up here and see just how quiet 0.6 Sones really is. The fan is rated 150CFM, which means it will exchange the air in that bathroom in under 2 minutes. I’ve got a 290CFM model on order for the lab area, which is quite a bit bigger. It was only $25 more, and 1.2 Sones louder. 290CFM ought to pull the aromas of their acrylic grinding out of there just fine, in less than 10 minutes. My only concern is that the guy wants to save a couple of bucks, so there won’t be any ducting to the outside. Both fans will vent to the area above the dropped ceiling, which is about 10,000 cubic feet. It should work, although who knows if or where the aromas will leak out.

Ok, back to work.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
