Not accurate, I learned just days ago that the beard would hold one of those blue disposable face masks in place.
Slow news day, slipped to second page.
Learning some online auctions tricks at least. Tried to figure out why someone would bid $190.01, it didn't make sense to me. Then I noticed the bid ranges. This one auction may have $10 bids from 100-199.99, but then any bid that occurs over 200 bucks has to be a 25 or fifty dollar jump. So if they bid 190.00 the other person can come in at 200 and they would be at 225/250. By doing 190.01 the next person has to be at 215.01/240.01. I accidentally hit on this on one thing that trips tomorrow and hope it stops people

What's wrong with the washing machine? I've fixed my washer and dryer a few times each for different issues with affordable parts from amazon and youtube videos. It has extended the life of the machines by years at a small fraction of the cost of replacement or paying someone to fix them.
Electrical when it goes to the spin cycle. It got way out of balance and I've had problems since the power wire shook loose found that, it fills but when you go to spin cycle it kicks out instantly. I've blew 4 fuses before I gave up. The tub turns ok by hand . Yeah my house is old still runs on fuses.
You can also get genuine parts at Dey Distributing. In Iowa they have stores in Urbandale and Waterloo. I have gotten parts there for my range, washer and dryer (x2). I try to be careful about the aftermarket parts that are a lot cheaper on line. Many times they aren't quite the same and you end up spending more time getting them to work correctly.
Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of them. I have not had any trouble with any parts I've gotten on amazon though. All parts have been pretty much identical to the original besides a couple color differences and have installed easy and performed well. I do a little homework to make sure it is the right part before I click the order button though.
Since fans got cancelled this week we were debating about hosting a little tailgate with some family and close friends in the garage/driveway with the tents set up. Weather is supposed to be 60s and rainy so we are not sure if we will yet or not. Was going to bring the TV down to watch it out there as well.
@oldman is playing catch-up again...he's on last Saturday's posts. 
I'm betting the bracket that holds the drum to the machine is cracked or broken. Good luck.
Got my results from Tuesday's CT scan. I'll cut to the chase - best possible results, IMO, and I quote: "Findings not significantly changed from previous exam."
I'll buy a round for the thread!
