This was a really good story about an older gentleman who becomes a mule for a drug cartel. Like all Clint Eastwood movies, it had a somewhat depressing ending but it was also really good.
My rating: 4/5
the washer
My washer was fixed on Friday. It cost me a little less than expected, but still a lot for what ended up being a $30 part (about $170 all told). So far, so good with it. I did about eight loads of laundry over the weekend without issue, but I won’t be convinced that it’s working properly until some time has passed. The good news is that if it is indeed fixed and the sensor goes again in the future, I now have the part number and can fix it myself for way less money.
thanksgiving 2019 part 1
Some of my family is going to be gone for Thanksgiving so we met up yesterday at my parents for an early celebration. It was a pretty laid back affair. My grandmother wasn’t able to attend, so Jake and I dropped off some food for her on the way home.
washer update
The repairman from Krisay’s came on Tuesday. He said the issue is either with the pressure sensor or the control unit. I looked the parts up online and while the pressure sensor isn’t too expensive (relatively speaking), once you add the cost of the service call, the part, and the labor to install it, I’m surely looking at over $200 for the fix. The control unit, on the other hand, is like a $300 part, so I guess if that’s the problem, I am getting a new washing machine. I guess you could say that I’m not very happy about this.
the dead don’t die
The trailer was so good for this movie, I just had to see it even though it was critically panned. But, I should have listened to the critics this time, as it was a snoozefest. It had some pretty dazzling star power (Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Chloe Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover) going on, but not even Bill Murray could save this movie.
My rating: 2/5
