    I forgot to post the one thing that didn't make me smile at all.....my fairly new iPhone 4S was on the floor when the water hit the floor. Those things don't do well in water! Trashed mine pretty good so I went to the Apple store and got a new one. Sooooo thankful I purchased the apple care plan when I purchased the phone. That only cost me $50 to get a brand new one.

    No doubt i was happy to fix the washer just for the experience and also felt proud I saved myself alot of money....I been fixing my dryer for years. Bad switches, heat stats and heating elements are pretty common repairs on those dryers.

    Easy solution on the outboard. Have your girlfriend start it for you.

    Drive coupler on washers will wear out, I've put 2 in mine. Also a new clutch. This may have to do with my wife washing anything soft enough to squeeze in the tub regardless of size or weight. They're simple machines, no need for repairmen, but if the transmission goes it's time for a new one. You'll not need to pay anyone to fix it again, pretty easy repair (after the first one that is).

    You should never mention coconut fiber turds on here.

    It sounds like you have been moving so fast you need to stop and wait for your butt to catch up with you.

    Now that you have repaired everything you can find, you should be able to use the rest of the year exclusively for fishing.
    If you are volunteering for anymore work, consider coming to my house and helping me clean up all the storm damage around my yard from Tues. night, acres of it. Five inches of rain and 60+ mph winds that lasted from 8:30 p.m. until 4 a.m. A tree blew down behind the boat and the top hit the motor and back of the boat. I purchased a good boat and motor cover when we bought the boat and I think that's what helped save it and the gas line from damage. Did get a couple of small dents on one side of the boat but nothing serious. Sweetie Pie is out of town and won't be back home until November and will check it out then. I told him that if he was showing his love for me by feeding the lawn before he left, not to be so aggressive because it was working me to death and I'm not having fun yet. The grass is growing so fast I don't know if I should turn the mower off and let it cool down or just park it and leave the engine running.

    Wow, chit happening to ya one after the other, WTG on the repairs. When I have things break I go to the garage or the shop and make a new one, sometimes its good to be a toolmaker/machinist, always can fix it better then new.
