2:15p - Crapped out
It's been a rough week on our appliances:
- Our beloved 17-year-old bread maker sighed loudly this weekend and gave up the ghost. We make all of our own bread, so until a new one arrives, we have to settle for store-bought loaves. Blech.
- While getting ready to clean up after last weekend's flood, our vacuum decided it was too big a job for it and promptly burst into flames. Well, burst into smoke, to be accurate. Lots of smoke and nasty smells. To the dump it goes.
- The flood also pushed both of our aging dehumidifiers over the hump into retirement. They make a lot of noise and heat -- as if they are working -- but don't suck a single drop of moisture out of the air. They each saw service in the war against the Fortress of Fungus (where we lived -- and nearly died -- a few years ago), so they'll get heroes' burials before being replaced.
Good-bye, little tin soldiers.
