Moments To Remember

They brought out new dryer to the house yesterday. After my poor attempt at fixing the old one, we finally caved and got a new one. The old one was a gas dryer, but my wife decided that we’d get an electric one to save a couple hundred bucks.

The delivery people brought it in, attached everything and then tried to turn it on. No power. We have a 220 plug there, and the breakers were all good. He told me to check the plug before sending back the dryer. So I called my brother-in-law and father-in-law.

They came out and took a look. They found the problem. Apparently when they put the central air in, the company yanked the 220 wire from the plug and used it for the AC unit. So we saved a couple hundred on the dryer, however, it will probably cost me a couple hundred to run a new wire and add a breaker so we can get the thing to work.

URGH!

We had two soccer games this pas weekend. One day it was cold and the next day it was raining. Needless to say, I wasn’t feeling all that great on Monday and Tuesday. However, Sam got to come out and watch us practice. She took a couple pictures of Andrew and me out on the field.

I’m always impressed how some political cartoonists can capture a person’s spirit or personality in a tribute cartoon. Here are a couple examples:
