April 15th. oil fan heaters maintenance. 。I woke up very late. I'm really sleepy. Maybe it's because my lower back pain and I couldn't sleep well a few days.
I made three time meals today by myself as usual.
I used to break my oil fan heaters each 3 years. I did not do a off season`s maintenance. I did nothing until next season. So, Fan heater parts rust due to condensing moisture in the fuel in off season. The manual says so, but I ignored it. Then from I have maintenaned them compleatly off season`s, there never broke 20 years.
I maintenaned 3 oil fan heaters.
Miya-O hidden somewhere in the first floor after medicine time in the morning, I called her but never answered. She appeared in the afternoon was still the same.

I use it at the lowest concentration possible, taking into consideration factors such as temperature, sunshine hours, and wind direction. Even lower concentrations than stated in the instructions may be effective if the conditions are met.
Glyphosate herbicide contains carcinogenic substances. I use with careful, of course I wear glasses masks when I use it. I take a bath after the work immediately. Also other chemical solution, of course I have to used careful.
