Tonight my wife and I were lieing on the couch watching some TV when the blower motor on our pellet stove started churping. Tear into it with the few tools I have here (everything else is either at the farm or at work) and find about 1/2 of the last homeowners dog in the squirrle cage. I took it all apart, took apart the motor and cleaned up the armature with a sponge w/ the scotch brite on one side. Put it back together and it's better, espescially at a lower speed (Blows more air too- go figure) but still not 100%.
I noticed that it's a Dayton (grainger) but their website is down for repairs right now. Call their 24/7 tech line and the entire blower (only thing with good numbers) is about $70. The guy will email me a parts breakdown when the site goes back up, and then I can see if the motor alone is any cheaper. Thinking I'll get a new motor, then fix the old one with new bearings and such so I have a spare to keep in the basement. The stove is only 5 years old, so I figure this will probably happen again...
Hope the stove will get us through the weekend so I don't have to burn more fuel oil.... Had to run the furnace today just to keep the wall with the thermostat (8' from the stove) above 72*.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
