Re: Hair Dryer to the rescue
Reply #2 –
I never use a hair dryer on my head ... but when we were parked at FOT for service last December, there was a somewhat similar situation. Waking early and getting the coach ready to pull into a bay, Jeff discovered that the utility bay door was frozen shut, and he could not stow the electric cord! He told me that I was going to have to coil up the frozen, stiff 50 amp cord and run along the side of the coach while he drove uphill to Bay 3. Ya think??? I told him in gentle language that that scenario was very unlikely to happen. I decided that feeding the cord into the bedroom and laying it on the bed was a better idea, but the bedroom windows were frozen shut! Hair dryer to the rescue. I got the window open, and holding the cord with my elbow out the window ... looking very much like a locomotive engineer ... we drove up the hill and into Bay 3, with some very amused FOT mechanics looking on. I use the hair dryer to get the worst of the ice out of the freezer during the defrosting process, also. After many years in the Dairy Queen business dealing with a lot of freezing and refrigeration equipment, I learned that a hair dryer is a valuable tool ... and not just for personal grooming!
