Burn Baby Burn

The good news is that this time I didn't actually burn a baby (see blogs below for more on that).  But as promised, here's another bright move brought to you by L3FTY.

I drink tea.  There it is, I said it.  Usually only during the winter, if that's any better.  Last night I was watching Syd and got the hankering for a warm cup of red rose.  I put on some water and went back to whatever we were doing.  A few minutes later I heard a crash from the kitchen.  Not to odd since we have 3 days worth of dishes stacked tit high on the counters and stove.

Stove, Hmmmmmm

I went in to check.  Surprise, surprise.  I had turned on the wrong burner, a burner that was covered in dishes and a plastic container filled with silverware.  when the container melted apart it dropped the silverware all over the stove and floor - probably a good thing in hindsight.....

Anywho, melted plastic on the stove silverware and our flat pan thing (griddle?).  Luckily the pan was teflon so once I had it cooled down much of it peeled off without a lot of scrubbing. 

Note to self - have the wife wash dishes when she gets home from work tonight.

It was a sexist joke intended to incite response. You were the only one to bite.

I don't know if a trip from Florida would be a great idea. :) A $12 visit to the local parts store took care of it. The clutch on the other hand is going to be a pita. I guess now is a good time to grab that lightened flywheel I've been wanting.

Turning on the wrong burner? It happens all the time. Once I waited 30 minutes for a soup to boil, and all the time I had the wrong burner on. But hey at least I didn't melt anything.

Yeah...I've ruined like 3 teapots like this. I've actually melted a metal one to the stove and burner and had to replace the whole shebang. It looks like mercury as the molten metal runs down and in.

Hello, this is CapnHun and we haven't met. But I am really curious about something. If your wife is working and you are at home (it looks like you are doing a great job taking care of that cute little girl of yours btw) why is she having to do the dishes?
