Hang the weather – although it looks grim on the east coast.
On the first trip to the washer/dryer early this morning, I discovered the
small load I hoped to simply switch into the dryer was somewhat soggy – like
the spin cycle decided to go home early. What was OK was the separate bag of
unmentionables that is labeled wash by hand – but I not a hand washer. (I am a
hand wringer!)
Figuring perhaps the little sack had unbalanced
the spinner, I removed them and threw in a dry bath towel. Note the verb.
No . . . the spin cycle drained little water away.
The third time was the charm . . . however, this time I took
time, and repositioned the few pieces. Perhaps we have dodged a repair bill – a
ten years old dryer can be like me – some innards are flat out tired of
doing the same old thing, and I may just not do what I need to do as hard as I
need to do it.
The dryer may not need a tune up now, but I do.
As the flu buggies recede, I can see what needs doing, and a
wave of panic is wearing out my motor as surely as the lopsided load unbalanced
the dryer. I hate that sound -- like The
Hulk is trying to break out of the dryer when I’ve crammed too much into
the machine, or too carelessly.
With all the down time, I managed to scour PINTEREST’s
quotes and humor, and realize the past few days of enforced rest hasn’t been
all bad. (I stayed away from projects, presents, and meals) I don’t want to go
out of 2014 like the hulk.
I have no warranty on the dryer – but I found a pin I pass
along hoping it keeps me in good working order for a while longer – and I hope
it’s better than a shot of WD-40 for you, dear reader.
