What an exciting day for me.\u00a0 I got most of the tweaks worked out on my site, so I am going to celebrate.\u00a0 I am also now asking that if you read this you subscribe to my blog.\u00a0 You will be helping me out by reading and commenting on my post as well as my book.\u00a0 If there are any topics you would like me to cover I would be more then happy to do so as long as I have the right information.<\/p>\n
Now in case you were wondering why I picked Brain Implosion as my domain, it is really very simple.\u00a0 I have one of those minds that never wants to shut down.\u00a0 Curiosity always has been my\u00a0main push. There are days when my mind just feels like it is full, what I like to call full brain overload.\u00a0 Well my brain exploding sounds way to messy, so I decided my brain is actually imploding.\u00a0 I know\u00a0I have a warped sense of humor but that is how the name came about.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0always like to add to\u00a0my titles of things I know\u00a0how to\u00a0do.\u00a0 Every time something breaks down in the house, which lately is a lot, I fix it.\u00a0 Even if I don’t have a clue I research it and I do it.\u00a0 Today for example I fixed our washing machine.<\/p>\n
Last Thursday, I was doing wash and went into the kitchen to clean it.\u00a0 After about\u00a020 minutes I decided to check up on the laundry only to walk into a flooded hallway.\u00a0 After many curse words flowed out of my mouth I got down to the nitty-gritty job of getting all that water out of my house.\u00a0 Thank god for the shop vac which is a wet\/dry vacuum.\u00a0 If it were not for that I might still be ringing out a rag into a bucket.<\/p>\n
Anyway after over two hours of cleaning up the water I got my tools out and proceeded to take the washing machine apart.\u00a0 Now this I had done several other times when the machine would not go into spin cycle.\u00a0 I figure the problem is the little hose that connects to the tub of the washer is clogged, because that is its usual problem.\u00a0 Well it was clogged.\u00a0 I cleaned it all out and then proceeded to turn the washer on.\u00a0 Uh oh the water looks to be getting awful high.\u00a0 Shit, now its near the top.\u00a0 So I shut it off and hit the drain and spin button.\u00a0 (big sigh) To my relief the water starts\u00a0 emptying out and when its empty the spin cycle kicks in.<\/p>\n
Now this is a whole new problem for me.\u00a0 Luckily we live in the age of technology, for as many times as I curse it there is always a good use for it.\u00a0 YouTube,\u00a0oh yes that is always the ticket.\u00a0 No matter what happens someone has had it happen to them and decided they would share that information with us poor folks, who cannot call a repairman every time something goes wrong.\u00a0 Forgive me I ramble a lot, it come’s from talking to my birds all day.\u00a0 Any who I get on to YouTube and type in my problem and just as easy as that fifty some odd videos show up.\u00a0 After watching several videos I decide to do the test that they tell me to, to\u00a0narrow it down to one item.\u00a0 Success, it was the water flow\u00a0sensor switch that was bad.\u00a0 Now in case you don’t know what that is, it is a round plastic switch that connects the vacuum hose to the washer tub.\u00a0 So $100 dollars poorer I finally found the part and had it shipped.\u00a0 It came in today and now I can add washer repair to my ever extending resume.\u00a0 Mind you a repairman would have cost me $100 just to come out.\u00a0 Add on labor and double the price of the part and you can see I saved over $400.<\/p>\n
You see here in Quantum Planet everything is possible and my resume is becoming very impressive.<\/p>\n
Oh and just a little side note, the washing machine my builder’s installed was discontinued that same year. Gee\u00a0I wonder why?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
