Tomorrow evening, they face off against the Penguins. Puck drops at 7:00.
My wife and I ran a few errands and then spent some time at the eye doctors. Well, she spent some time at the eye doctors. I spent some time sitting in the waiting room reading my book.
Then I spent the rest of my day removing my dishwasher from it's cubby under the counter to see if I could fix whatever was leaking.
Turns out that what is leaking is some kind of impeller/pump thingee that requires a PhD in appliance repair and some special tools that I do not own to simply remove it. God only knows what tools are needed to take the thingee apart (maybe just a large sledgehammer) but it eventually became quite clear I was not going to be able to fix it.
I put the dishwasher back together and slide back in it's under-the-counter house. Then we called a few repair places.
What we quickly discovered is that the cost to fix this 10 year old dishwasher was going to be almost as much as buying a new one.
That meant we had to go dishwasher shopping.
What I find hard to believe is the sheer number of dishwashers available on the market. The local appliance dealer here in town sells 25 different brands and each brand has between 2 and 10 different models. A quick check of Lowe's shows 32 different brands. Home Depot is a slacker with only 11 brands.
Since I was busy all day, that is all I got for you.
