Dishwasher latch broke. Only the 2nd repair needed since I pulled it from someone's curbside trash about 12 years ago. Initially needed a pump for about $100. 3-4 years ago the power cord was loose in the socket and arced/melted so I replaced that. Now the door latch broke. $88 for a latch handle and $22 for a spring!!

Beach weekend cancelled. Woke up with a seriously infected thumb at the cuticle. Soaked it in warm wate/betadine. Squeezed out some puss so it wouldn't throb as much.

Went to walk-in clinic and got an RX for Keflex. Hope it works fast. Even though I am right-handed, I never realized how much I use my left thumb.

93/75F with 34% of rain starting around 3pm and for the rest of the night. Good for the lawn. Sucks for the pool because the extra rain water throws off my pool's salinity.

Not going to do anything much today except, perhaps the vherf tonight for UFC fights if others will be online.

Morning "gentlemen"
Got a rare quite morning. Everyone still sleeping, and a decent start to the day before the rains arrive. Coffee and a stick on the patio it is.

Good Saturday Morning, almost noon, to All!It's an overcast 75° on the way to 77° today.

We left the house yesterday morning, drove four house down to Whidden Gunworks in Nashville, GA, to get a rifle lot tested. Rimfire rifles tend to be picky about ammunition and even which lot they shoot the best.

We intended to go to a rifle match in Dublin, GA today and stay the last night in Dublin, however the match was canceled due to bad weather so we made the four hour drive home last night. It was a long day, but getting to have the rifle tested while bolted to a 500 pound machine rest was worth the trip. I was also able to purchase a fair amount of the ammunition the rifle preferred.

Although it’s “my job” to wash the dishes, I don’t really mind. I feel I do a much better job than a dishwasher and since there’s only my wife and I, there’s not like a sinkful of stuff to wash after every meal. The only time we had a dishwasher was when we first got married and lived in an apartment but even then we almost never used it.

Both my wife and I detested washing dishes, the first appliance we bought was a portable dishwasher that connected to the kitchen sink.

Dishwashing was a chore I often did as a kid. Probably most detested from cleaning up the kitchen at my Father's house. It was necessary if we wanted to eat anything and avoid food poisoning. My Pop lived on alcohol, nuts, a little yogurt and a couple of daily packs of PallMall red death cigarets. Kitchen sanitation was not on his list of things he cared about. On the positive side, I do have really high standards for kitchen cleaning.

Dishwashers need a couple of things to do a great job, Most of all HOT water and second dirty dishes, things like grease supposedly help the dishwasher detergent work better. We have had several brands over the years, the most silent was and Electrolux but the current Bosh, while not quite as silent, does a fantastic cleaning job.

Your parent's must be real cold unless it is heated.

Our Bosch, which was supposed to be great, does a decent enough job with even filthy dishes, pots and pans. But,
after about four years of running it 7-10x/week, some of the different cycles don't work. When it dies, I will replace it rather than fix it. Wouldn't buy the same model again or one without a significantly better sound rating.

Had a whirlpool dishwasher in the last house. I think it was fired up 4-5 times in 22 years. The last time just to be sure it still worked before we sold... it did.

I don't mind hand washing dishes. Gets them cleaner if you ask me. Wife and I both do it. Neither of us likes to leave dishes in the sink and it's just the 2 of us.

The dishwasher in this house is a frigidaire. Was clogged when we moved in. I cleared it, cleaned it... and disconnected it from the plumbing and unplugged it. Won't use it, so no need...

We bought the Bosh on the recommendation of our local alliance repairman. He was replacing a $480 pump assembly that had a sensor he said would go out in another 6 months but only came with the %480 pump assembly that was soon to be out of warranty. I'll buy another Bosh if this one fails.
