Sorry to hear that, brother.And now I apologize...don't mean to bring the tone of the LPv6 down, but we just found out my Brother-in-law in China has been diagnosed with Thymic Carcinoma.

I've never even heard of those. I want to know more, but I'm absolutely certain that'll lead me down an internet rabbit hole that will consume the rest of my remaining attention span for the day.
Y'know, I was explaining the term "wildlife interference" to my new friends in India on Thursday, as well.So, the reason our heat pump was leaking was - there was a dead rat in the catch pan, who blocked the drain and caused the catch pan to overflow. You know.... around here, even our electrical power company has a fault reason "wildlife interference". It usually means the power was lost or flickered because a squirrel shorted a line somewhere or a couple of turkey vultures decided to do their mating dance on the lines. Well, apparently, we can now add "wildlife interference" to our heat pump operation issues.
I've been saying that for years, based entirely on the fact that I'm too tough to be that much of a wuss if I'm not dying.Actually, there is good reason to believe that the "man cold" is a real thing. There have been a number of studies showing that the immune response varies by gender, and that men do, in fact, get sicker when exposed to the common cold virus.
And anything it doesn't fix, you just need to up the dosage.Hot whiskey with honey and lemon fixes EVERYTHING.
Congratulations, I hope.... just sent my letter of resignation for work about an hour ago....
That'll take even me a while to do.Gerry is close, and in time will overtake him, I think.
Yeah, it took me a few tries to get mine done. Apparently it finally worked, because I got my badge.Somehow, I still haven't signed up for the supporting membership. I tried a year or so ago, but was having difficulty making the payment (with the site), and just kinda forgot about it.
My eyes must still be on Indian Standard Time, because as I was scrolling this onto the screen, I read the first part as, "Just finished cooking a spare rack of cats..."Just finished cooking a rack of spare ribs....was supposed to go over to the baseball field and let Jacob work on pitching but the weather decided not to cooperate.
Instead just relaxing and watching the rain.
I enjoyed the people I worked with there. I loved the food - couldn't find anything I didn't like to eat. The Taj Mahal is smaller than I thought, but the inlay in the marble is amazing (as is the marble, itself). The rest of the country is apparently nothing but a place to throw trash. It's everywhere.Yaaaaay! We missed ya @gpseymour! How was India? (after your nap of course!)

First of all..."fitter blokey"????They're actually a sensible option.
There was the slight issue a couple of years ago where they were apparently randomly catching fire - but apart from that...
To be fair, the issue really turned out to be a seal that wears and allows lint to collect near the element, where it shouldn't get. But only if the trap wasn't emptied regularly.
Couple that with people putting them on too high a heat setting for the fabrics, setting them to run for 3 hours and going out for the day, and never emptying the lint trap...
When we had ours 'rectified' under the recall, the fitter blokey commented on it being the least fluffy inside he'd ever seen

I haven't worked on any of my own appliances in a long time. Mostly because they rarely break. I remember once as a teenager, my mom's washing machine stopped working. It wouldn't spin. I dismantled it, couldn't find anything wrong, and put it back together. It worked. I figure that's about as good at repair as a man can get: change nothing and make it work.Yeah, I refuse to use the term "engineer" for someone who is trained to fit replacement parts to domestic appliances
I would've happily done the modification myself, but that wouldn't have updated their records...
As it was, I had it more bits a few weeks later to fit a new drive belt.

Hey, everyone! I'm finally back from India, and slowly working my way through stuff on the forum. I hope everyone is well.
Because you'd be in IT now as well. You might as well stay clean doing it.
It needed a time out.I fixed a cd player a while back by putting it in the loft for 6 months.
It stopped reading any discs, and because I'm a bit of a hoarder I didn't want to chuck it so it went in the loft.
When I took it out to try a fix, it worked again.
