The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

Well the new washer and dryer came today. Watching my sister and my niece unload them was better than watching the Marx Brothers at the circus! I even applauded once they had both units on the ground. They were being real careful getting them into the house. With a price tag of around two grand they certainly didn't want to damage them. Now that the new units were cluttering up the living room it was time to move the old units out which only took fifteen minutes. Then came time to start hooking up the new ones. When they took out the old washer they took out all the hoses and connectors with it. I told them they were gonna need the 'Y' connector that allowed one wall tap to connect to both the cold and hot water connections on the washer. "No we don't, there's two faucets on the wall". Turn the hot one on I said. My sister turns it on. Nothing! Surprise, surprise. "Oh well, we can connect one hose to the cold water connector and just leave the hot one as it is (unblocked)". I told them to have a bucket ready when they test the washer. "No water will come out. It's blocked from the inside. Water can go in but it can't come out". Uh-huh, you go on thinking that. My niece was behind the machine when my sister turned it on and almost instantly I hear these screams of "turn it off, turn it off!". She was soaked from the waist down. All I said was I told you so.

Got a little work done on Oliver's adventure. He's inside the baggage car at least. Hasn't seen anything yet though.

Also found another spot in the socket of my leg that's giving me a bit of discomfort. Remember the little bump that was filed off? Well the ridge that bump was on was the culprit this time time around. I put a sanding drum on the Dremel and carefully ground the ridge until it was smooth then put the leg back on. Much better! But man, carbon fiber and Kevlar makes a dusty mess!

Got in a lot of walking practice and going up and down low steps.
