Bought the belt and wheel replacement kit for the dryer and it came up 2 wheels short! I even questioned it at the store and the sales person insisted the dryer only had 2 rollers. I should have bought 2 more just to be safe. Ugh. Another hour needs to be spent driving around.

I am trying to identify the tiny, shiny black spiders inside the dryer. Good Spider Myth Debunker!
So blurry!
My ability to focus on my work is being severely hampered (laundry pun) by my desire to work on the dryer!
I have decided to spend $25 more on the repair and replace all wheels and belts. Between the new wheels, belts and motor, this dryer should effective perform like a refurb and last several more years.
I need a full afternoon to complete the work plus an hour to go buy parts.

Superman has died
In the last week Reeve had developed a serious systemic infection from a pressure wound, a common complication for people living with paralysis. … then fell into a coma and died Sunday at a hospital surrounded by his family, his publicist said. He was 52.
I was really hoping he’d beat this. I know. Unrealistic. The progress he’d made was incredible. He really was Superman (amz).

This Morning
I finally gave up on the dryer about midnight. Woke again at 4am but could motivate myself out of bed beyond cleaning up the dog’s stank. Realized the cat was awol (escaped while I was coming to and fro with the dryer parts) so I spent a few minutes calling her back into the house. The scared thing spent 4 hours on the outside!
I don’t want to go to work today. I want to finish the dryer. I’m very close. All-in-all I’ve learned a whole bunch about dryers and things you can do to maintenance them and extend their lives; however, if I took my standard hourly rate and applied it to this learning lesson I probably could have just had one delivered and installed and foregone the lesson. They would have even hauled off the old one. On the plus side, I can repair the other one with relative easy based on what I have learned and Cathy can have two dryers.

Ah! I found the stuff the mice liked!
Whew! 4:30 arrived and the dryer isn’t fixed but the office is cleaner! Blogger still isn’t accepting posts.

I’ve hit 1983!

Sabrina I found your book.
Cleaning Freenzy!
To get the washer back in the house I’ve been forced to clean. I have madly been throwing out magazines and mail most dating back to 1998 although I have found some from 1991 and at least one reference from 1984. An archealogist would have a hayday with this pile of rubbish.
I have gotten good at this and even thrown out college course work and my Cobol manual!
It is refreahing to put some more of my past behind me. It helps to move forward when you aren’t anchored by the past.

This Morning
I have a week’s worth of work I’d like to do today. My desires are home repair (mine and a friends) and lawn work as well as personal programming and business programming. I recognize this as an evil way to start the day so I am going to focus. My only interest right now is the dryer. If it takes an hour I can do more. If it takes all day so be it!
