Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition

[VeloClone]

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.

Yeah, generally they are pretty good but some aren't. I do make sure that the cheaper the part is relative to OEM parts, the more I read the reviews. If they are getting panned for not fitting right or not lasting I steer clear. The last thing I want to do is spend an hour changing the belt, idler and rollers on my dryer only to have the new dryer belt break a year later.

And I will second you on the homework. I have often spent more time tracking down a changed part number so I can order the right part than I do making the actual repair.

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!

Good news is always welcome here!

So good to hear. You brought tears to my eyes.

If you pay me DOT rates I will come down with a crew and do the DOT work. I think I have 4 shovels, so I will need 6 people. One loading, one in the truck and four leaning on the shovels telling the one guy how he is loading wrong.

I'm betting the bracket that holds the drum to the machine is cracked or broken. Good luck.

Well that doesn't sound good I'll do some looking.

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.

Motor is shot. Pulling too many amps and popping the fuse.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Great news (not as good as @SCyclone got) and I'm feeling generous. I just got a call and Wells Fargo, is forgiving all my debt with them. Because of that I will buy everyone supper this weekend with what I got forgiven.







Check my account and confirm that I have never had a loan or even a basic account with Wells Fargo so I will be buying water and thats all.

The best appliance repairman in FD is Buck Yoder. LMK if you want his cell number.

What @VeloClone posted a bit ago made me pause. Without sounding mawkish or anything, I must admit the people I've met on this thread have made my life better - in a very real way. Your support means more than I can say. You guys boost by equanimity level (tip of the cap to @Ms3r4ISU ). God bless you all.

I have a gift card that I received as a rebate that has some real strange rules attached. It is for $60 but you can't swipe it for anything over $60 then pay the rest with another card.
If it is over $60 the card will be rejected so they recommend you swipe one card first for the difference and then you can swipe this card for the remaining $60.
I've never heard of this and don't recall ever having that option.
I have only seen where you swipe a card and then it comes back and tells you that you still owe the balance at which time you swipe another card.

I should just go to the grocery store and buy $60 worth of food and just swipe it and get it done with as it expires in October.

Gift cards are a HUGE racket.

Gift cards are a HUGE racket.

I would rather just get a check. I think they use gift cards with strange stipulations like this in hopes that you just don't use it.
I guess I could go to Costco and buy 4 bottles of Vodka. That would leave me $4.40
I could stop at Walmart and buy 5 bottles of the water I mix with it.
That would leave me .45

"If your appliances make you yell ****, then calm right down and just call Buck!" --has Buck ever used that advertising jingle, I wonder?
