Move on!  It works on a weak mind.

I dunno.  Just kept playing this over and over in my head today and it kept me plenty happy.

Maybe I should start a handyman business for real.  I just fixed my neighbor’s oven today and saved her like $400 bucks.  I took out about 20 screws and pushed a reset button.  That and I went on the manufacturer’s website, which took 5 more minutes.  The repair guy quoted a minimum of $350.  I realized at my last job that appliances – no matter how big they are – aren’t rockets and they all have toll-free numbers stamped on them so you can call the manufacturer.  Oh yeah, they also have wiring diagrams.  With that and an electrical probe, you can pretty much fix anything.  Once you get to a part that doesn’t do what the schematics say, you call Sears Parts Central and order “that.”  Oops, I just gave away the secret to appliance repair.  Shit.  Anyway, my neighbor’s son and Ben played while I fixed – beats the heck out of watching kids for a morning.

Totally different subject: Have you ever gotten one of those cracks in your skin right at the end of the edge of your nail?  Ouch!  I get one on my thumb every winter and man, does it hurt.  Walgreen’s has a paint that you put on it; I picked some up today.  Now it hurts and looks all peely…so now I have a numb finger and a stingy finger.  I feel like Sol, “I’ll need my shoes and glasses, so I have them.”

This is not the blog you’re looking for…

I’m going to watch Mythbusters reruns!
