Ever notice how a free Saturday makes you feel like you have to do something big with it? I had one of those back in May, no plans at all, and I spent the first two hours just standing in the kitchen staring at the fridge like it owed me money. Then I finally just grabbed my shoes and went for a walk with no plan, ended up at a park I'd never been to and watched some guys play pickup basketball for like 40 minutes. Sounds dumb but it sort of reset my brain. The trick for me is picking one small thing before I sit down, because once I sit, the nap wins every time.

I had the same thing happen with a paper wasp making a nest in my side draft hood's air slot, and it took me way too long to find it. What worked for me was stuffing a rag in the intake and taping a piece of window screen over the blower outlet every time I shut down for the day. Cheap, takes ten seconds, and I haven't had a bug problem since. The screen still lets air through if I forget to pull the rag, so it never chokes the fire. Might be worth a try so you're not pulling things apart every time the heat drops.
