I cheated death last night!

[Mr. P]

Lucky Me.

I cheated death last night. Here’s what happened.

Just before I went to bed I walked in the kitchen for something. I have a gas stove and I caught a whiff of natural gas. I sniffed around but didn’t smell anything and went to bed.

At 5:15a.m. I woke and smelled gas. I figured there must be a leak so I went to investigate. On my way I realized that when I cooked dinner I turned one burner to the lowest setting to keep a pan warm and didn’t remember turning it off. Sure enough that’s where the knob was but the flame had gone out.

The gas was on all night; I’m lucky I had it on the lowest setting and had an open window in my room.

Damn P, am I gonna have to start coming by there to see if you turn your gas off?

Glad you are Ok pal. I've done that too.

[hjmick]

Good you're okay, P. Don't let word of this leak, the government may decide to impose harsh restrictions on the use of gas ranges.

[-Cp]

What range do you have Mr.P? I ask cause our range is gas and sometimes its burners go out as well when on low.... which pisses me off...

Makes me want to go get a Viking or some other kind that knows when to reignite itself..

Just give me a call when you happen by. I was going to offer you a place to crash half way between home and Carrollton the other night but I don't have a extra bed yet. I wouldn't mind riding with ya some night if you're nearby.

Wow Mr. P. I didn't thank gas ranges still let that happen.

Does anyone know is a CO detector would get set off with a natural gas leak?
