Remember this a few months ago @WthrLady? Yea, well guess what I have!

I'm off to a music festival this afternoon so I need to pick everything that needs pickin' in the garden.

I got an email that my chicks will ship next Wed.

I'll be gone till next week, have a great weekend all!

Yes, & yes, I had them like 8 years ago. Didn't know you could get them a 2nd time till WthrLady told me so I had planned to ask the doc about the shot when I go in for my physical this year (I turned 50). Too late for that!

& thanks, the festival will be a great time.

Oh I'm so sorry.

I'm so sad I didn't make my appt right after we discussed this!

They frequently just need a bit of soldering to fix a wonky connection. Should be guides online for that kind of stuff. Probably need a multimeter to check connections for power and find the one that's failed. Heck, often all these old circuit boards need is a gentle scrub with a soft toothbrush and 97% rubbing alcohol to remove corrosion.

Mr. Dog was a technical designer/troubleshooting supervisor for several electronics companies many years ago, before his last company shut their doors and sent his job to Taiwan with no notice, back in the early 00's.
He still has all his tools though, builds various devices out of ancient computer parts for fun (our 3rd bedroom is his electronic project "hoarder room" - I don't even go in there to vacuum)
He repaired our dryer by re-soldering things on the circuit board, after figuring out what mechanical parts needed replacing from getting ruined by the faulty circuit board - also cleaning out the mouse nests from the outlet pipe.
But hey, I did my part too, found and replaced the correct lint trap that had a hole!

These machines are awesome. They use less water, my clothes come out cleaner, more energy efficient (and if a tissue sneaks into your washer load it doesn't get chopped into a gazillion pieces, just a little wet ball)

I agree completely. Our water bill has improved noticeably since buying the new washer.

I prefer my super high efficiency front loader over my top loader, with or without center beater.
It uses far less soap and water and things are much cleaner.

Our new one is a top-loader - Because of cost, but also with a top-loader, you can hit "pause" in the early part of the cycle to throw in that sock you dropped or kitchen towels you forgot about, which you can't do once a front-loader is full of water.

What I like best about it, instead of a big agitator that sticks up in the middle and twists all your laundry around it, it has a small agitator that turns in one direction, while the barrel turns in the opposite direction.
Not only does our normal laundry get cleaner with less water and the same amount of soap, It cleans large, dirty, hairy things like my horse blankets! Like, it really cleans them, instead of just swishing soapy water through the parts that weren't wrapped around the agitator, leaving a bunch of dirt in the middle of the blanket and another bunch of dirt to infect the next load. The best thing is, after I remove a clean horse blanket and hang it on the clothesline, I run the "clean out the washer" cycle, so our next loads are normal.

High of 79 and low of 53 today. It's currently 61 out. I feel chilly sitting in my office right now. I want Summer back!

Ugh! I’m sorry you have them again! Maybe less intense than first time ..hopefully.

Anybody use jars like this one?
This is not my pic. I just have seen these non-threaded jars in a lot of recipe photos and decided to hunt them down with some googling. I really like the glass lid and it seems like the rubber seals are reusable too.

I walked by with my eyes averted.
