Oh, I almost forgot. I did get something done. I woke up this morning, walked out and did not hear the familiar hum of my Soil Soup Compost Tea Maker. The Bio-Blender was not turning and just about to burn up. It failed last year, and when I had the motor rebuilt I got a spare as well. Good thing as the old motor was fried this time. I suspect it was a failed bearing. Well, as I went to install the new motor, I discovered the old motor was reinstalled in a less than optimal manner. It was over torgued and the plastic seat distorted. Another screw was stripped too. So, after a quick trip to Lowe's for a new screw and some high heat Silcon to create a new seat for the motor, I think I am back in the saddle. We'll know on Monday morning, after the Silicon dries and I can crank it off. Either way this is the last hayride for the current housing, so I need to start budgeting for a new Bio Blender. Hopefully, this one will make the summer. Now, please note that I am not complaining, but I am guessing the Bio Blenders has a 4 to 5 year life. More to come.
