Hmmm, as I was typing "July 6th" I just remembered that today is my brother's birthday. If he comes to church, I'll have to tell him "happy birthday".
Yesterday, I was not happy. Our fancy-schmancy front load washing machine stopped mid cycle and displayed an error code. I couldn't get it to go past that code and move on.
I looked on line and found a service manual for it. The manual says to unplug it and let it sit for two minutes then plug it back in. I tried that - no go. The manual said that if that didn't work, then the "CCU" or "central controling unit" (computer) needs replaced.
I was not happy considering the thing is only 1.5 years old and the warranty stopped 1/2 a year ago. I found a new "CCU" online for it for $130.00.
My mother-in-law's washer and dryer are still in her house, but they had been shut off. We took the load of wet laundry over there and got it started in her machine and then came back home. I thought I'd try our machine one more time since it had set unplugged for about 1/2 hr and it started up. The crazy thing then ran all day and finished up what laundry we had to do.
So, it may be ok, it may just be a matter of time until it dies . . . time will tell.
Gotta get ready to go to praise team practice. One of our singers and her family left to move to Iowa yesterday. I'm going to miss her. Our leader said he was going to make an announcement that we have a few open spots for singers on the team. Thats kind of a tricky spot becuase we're likely to get a few people who are willing to serve, but just can't sing very well. Being able to sing somewhat on key is important, as well as having the right attitude. We've had a few recently that wanted to get involved, but didn't take the commitment seriously and feel they can come and go as they please. Hopefully we can find a couple more good volunteers soon.
