    Damn....really slow here tonight. Everyone must be getting ready for church tomorrow.

    I'd go too, but my toe hurts. The devil made me say that.

    It’s pretty dang old, but it’s just the motor that’s starting to go out. It tries not to start sometimes, buzzes, and I have to manually rotate the drum a bit, then it’ll start and run fine. I think the contacts are starting to go. I imagine I’ll be able to find a motor, shouldn’t be too bad. And if I get it apart and can’t fix it, it’s easy enough to replace. Hopefully, I get off my butt and fix it before it goes belly-up with a load of wet clothes in it.

    But as soon as I have time to work on the dryer, I’ll probably spend that time working on the bike. I don’t typically exhibit much sense in the way I prioritize things.

    You can do it.

    Plan it for next weekend, get a new motor this week, have beer on hand, and order a pizza about an hour before you begin.

    You're good to go.

    I’m off Monday - I’ll see if I can find a motor then. For now, I’m out. Gotta work in the morning. ‘Night y’all.

    You could have done the install in under 1 hour, including rewire and plumb in. That old dishwasher, call the D.A.V. they pick up for free.

    Probably better I didn't because you get me shooting then I won't want to do anything else. But add that to the list of reasons I miss my trips up to good old Windsor.

    I really have weighed some decisions I've made regarding several different aspects of "daily life/home expenditure" expenses that every homeowner is periodically faced with.

    The "X" amount for the appliance you select is unavoidable, adding the cost of having delivery, installation, and removal of the old appliance at the same time, in my opinion, is most likely worth it. Can I replace a dishwasher in an hour?...yes. For $200 can I watch Felipe do it for me?...yes.

    Annually speaking, $200 doesn't make or break dinner on the table or anything else for that matter.
