U-pickin'

The greenhouse is 10 years old now and the one time the fan went out previously happened to be on a Saturday while I was in the backyard.  It took some time but I found a replacement motor and had the thing repaired by the end of the day.
Yesterday, while I was picking berries, the fan stopped again.  On the down side I had patients scheduled all morning.  So I rigged up some box fans, after a short struggle opened the ridge vent, and went on to work. After a trip with the fan to Mexico, where it ran just fine for the electrical motor folks at S and S, we're down to an electrical problem.  I have a call in to the electrician, he has yet to call me back.  Between that and the wireless at the office, it was a lousy day.
So as a pick-me-up, we decided to go U-picking. Danamay Farm is a new berry farm only about 3 miles from our house and they have great fruit.  Their blackberries are not as sunburned as mine.  Came home with about 20# of blackberries and 5# of blueberries.  We'll eat a few of these but we'll end up drinking most of them.
