Life's little mysteries...???

Hi all,

Here's a strange little quirk that has sprung up. Wonder if anyone has seen this, yet.

This summer I took apart the 6' stretch of twisty interior double-wall pipe to clean it. Upon reassembly, I re-inserted my round probe thermometer back into the pipe, in the same hole it's been in for 5 years, about 18" up the pipe from the top of the stove.

Well... the thing has a mind of its own now, and constantly rotates counterclockwise! I can't keep the thing stationary. I'll set it to the proper rotation, and with a day, it's rotated about 2 hrs counterclockwise.

Anyone experience anything like this before? Any remedies, other than... glue, etc.? Might be possessed...

HA!

It is kind of funny, though.

I did ask my wife to do kegels yesterday when she was complaining that she had to pee on a long trip. She wasn't amused.

Probably should just put some silicone on there. Just seems odd, since nothing has really changed... However, there is a magnet that the rod passes through which holds the thermometer to the pipe... Hmmm....

Thanks for your thoughts.
