Out of the Blue

After a minor grease fire in the grill over the weekend (ever try grilling bacon? wow!), MrsBlue asked what we would have done if it had been a major fire, and my reply was that we have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. This inspired a quick inspection of the extinguisher, which turns out to have been way overdue, as it was in desperate need of a recharging. We picked up a pair of new extinguishers (we decided the one in my office was a bit small) in the meantime before figuring out where to recharge the old one, so we should be safe for now. I've made a vow to try and remember to check on these things regularly going forward, and thought sharing this story might help in case anyone else had lapsed in this area.

Thanks for the warning, Blue.

We have a couple in the house - one in the kitchen pantry and one in the garage. Both are mounted in the open so it is easy to check the charge.

Picked up the Panasonic BD60 Blu-Ray player yesterday and shoved in Iron Man - looks great! Frankly the load time is quicker than my old Sony upscaling DVD changer, so even that negative isn't. Haven't watched a whole movie yet (got in late last night), but I like what I see so far.
