OKay! I just ordered the digital thermometer/hygrometer and Turbo Fan kit from GQF. Got both for $55, which was okay because listen to this warm and fuzzy story.
I have been communicating with a man through craigslist since Dec.4th about his hovabator. He answered my wanted ad. Timing of schedules has not been quite right until Yesterday, and by this time I feel like I know the guy! So, DH and 2 kids and I go out to his ranch in Zamora, CA spent 4 hours being shown around all his awesome stuff. Chickens, old tractors, orchard, work shops etc,..We set up the auto turner and it didn't appear to be working we took it apart and still nothing. Bummer right? Hovabator worked great, 1602N model. He orignally wanted $40 for whole setup which I thought was great. He ended up giving everything to me for FREE! I started to get teary and was so touched. I hadn't said a word about our money issues or anything that would have pushed him to do this. I was going to get the broken auto turner anyway and just buy a new motor! We talked about spiritual things, coincedences, our pasts, futures-and my husband and I left feeling like we had been reunited with a old friend. I had brought some fresh smoked trout, just to give him as a thanks for having us out to the ranch-which my DH thought was weird. The man called later and said he ate the whole thing for lunch it was great and thanked us for coming out and that he loved us. We felt the same. My DH and him have almost every little thing in common down to the clothes they were wearing yesterday!
On the way over there I had said to my husband that I felt that this meeting was in some way out of our hands, ya know, that it was bigger than just us. So, that's my story and I hope it gives ya'll a warm feeling today.
