(Yes, I am speaking from experience.)<br /><br />Congrats on finding a whole dollar!

The drive belt broke and the drum stopped turning, but the fan and heating element didn't cut out. Fortunately I was home and noticed the lack of tumbling noise and the odour of scorched socks. If I'd been away it probably would have burned down the house. I replaced the drive belt and the teflon bushings, but I never ran it again unless I was around to supervise.<br /><br />You're right, though, repairing appliances does feel good - I think we should both have a celebratory beer! ;-)Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-89037312595343489252015-05-26T08:21:58.982-07:002015-05-26T08:21:58.982-07:00A bit of trivia.

He was an excellent character actor who kept getting work throughout his career. But, because he was a Mormon, he refused to do beer commercials. Lucky for him, posing with beauty queens was ok. :) Donna Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271377907141866718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-83257432374914326642015-05-26T07:49:29.798-07:002015-05-26T07:49:29.798-07:00Did you figure out the mystery of the missing sock...Did you figure out the mystery of the missing socks?
