Katie’s sick with her tooth (pain swelling etc) and so did not come to work today. Tom, may the blessings of a thousand universes brighten his life, came in and fixed the fan situation with Bertha, with the net result that airflow through the cafe as a whole is improved.
Then the Garland quit. I think it’s the regulator. All of a sudden 4 inch flames are coming out the front of it and it’s instantly red hot. I’ve called Key Food Equipment and since I don’t have an account set up they just put $500 on my credit card and will refund me (ha!) any parts or labour not covered. Given that their hourly is $109 I don’t imagine that down payment will last too long. Ah, well, if it means that we can get both ovens running properly, that’s all good. It has to be serviceable for the renter anyway.
HOWEVER. Tom ordered 4 dozen biscotti and I now have no place safe to cook it, or won’t until tomorrow, and I have a hard deadline of tomorrow night because they are leaving on a vacation in the morning. They deserve it but it’s crunch time.
Found out that the 220 for the proofer will be a snap, it’s already plumbed in close to where it’s going.
The renter and Fraser Health are about to have a meeting in my shop. It’s kind of a weird feeling.
