Operation Turkey Drop…I mean LOWER #DFT2013

So just to be clear, tomorrow, I will be lowering my turkey in.

Air bombing the turkey into my deep fryer is NOT a good idea.

On a related note: I just checked my home insurance policy too.

How much turkey should I buy? #DFT2013 #Dreamlifter

Well, I have to feed two families this Thanksgiving.

I wonder how many turkeys should I buy? One? Two? Three? Three thousand?

I wonder how much peanut oil I’ll need to buy? 3 gallons? 5 gallons? 10 gallons?

Frick, I got 7-days to get my operation in check. No pressure now.

And I hope not to burn the house down.

Maybe I’ll have that Boeing Dreamlifter delivery a bunch of turkeys to me.

I bet they could land that thing at CGF right?

Punch it Chewy!

There are different types of smoke alarms? #FPWeek

October 6th – 12th is National Fire Prevention Week! Did you know there are many different brands of smoke alarms available on the market, but they fall under two basic types: ionization and photoelectric. It cannot be stated definitively that one is better than the other in every fire situation that could arise in a residence. Because both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms are better at detecting distinctly different, yet potentially fatal fires, and because no one can predict what type of fire might start in a home, most firefighters recommend that every residence and place where people sleep be equipped with:

  • Both ionization AND photoelectric smoke alarms, OR
  • dual sensor smoke alarms, which contain both ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors

In addition to the basic types of alarms, there are alarms made to meet the needs of people with hearing disabilities. These alarms may use strobe lights that flash and/or vibrate to assist in alerting those who are unable to hear standard smoke alarms when they sound. Make sure you place them in strategic locations throughout the house. WEWS_Fire-Safety_640x480

Step-1: Get an Ionization AND photoelectric smoke alarm or dual sensor smoke alarm. Step-2: Get it before this happens…
