A Full Weekend

My dishwasher quit working, oh, maybe 2 years ago. It was practically new. I never got around to fixing it because I live alone and only generate a sink full of dishes about every three days. The oven quit working about a year ago. The range still worked and I have a backup oven in the kitchen in in my garage so I never got around to fixing it. Besides I have two microwaves. The motor in my treadmill failed about the same time as the oven. I saw that as an opportunity to quit exercising and get even fatter so I never got around to fixing it. The rear bearing in the Subaru still needs replacing but I can't afford to fix it right now. Monday, my clothes washer just quit. Now that's a problem. I can't figure a way to ignore this one. Unless, I take my laundry to my mother's house on my weekend visits and do it there. That will work! No, wait, my son-in-law is staying with me. I'm NOT going to do his laundry. Damn! I guess I have to fix the stupid washing machine.

Actually my S-in-L and I have replaced the control board and a fuse in the dishwasher. But it still doesn't work. Also I have a new motor for the treadmill but have been avoiding installing it because "it's too hard...," and I'd then lose my excuse for not using the darn thing. We haven't looked at the oven yet.

*Edit* Oh yeah, the vacuum cleaner burned up this week too. They burn up trying to get Husky hair out of rugs. I wonder if in the long run it would be cheaper to buy new rugs than vacuum cleaners.
*EDIT2* Washing machine fixed. Broken switch on the lid. Duct taped it into on position until I get a new one.
