Default Fan

Well, My fan was supposed to have arrived today, but alas, it did not. Perhaps it's just as well, my hands just aren't working well enough today for me to have managed those tiny bolts that hold it on. Not enough feeling in my fingers to manipulate those little buggers into position. As Scarlet would say, tomorrow is another day.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow.

The fan finally arrived. It is a CORRECT fan. It is NOS but it has been repainted, which is evidenced by dust having settled on the wet paint,which is really no problem. I'll compound it, and if that doesn't do it, I'll repaint it and let MY dust settle on it. LOL.

I thank all y'all for putting up with me, and my endless comments during my search over the past year and a half.
