dishwasher update

So, after getting my dishwasher fixed last month, I noticed it wasn’t drying dishes. I’m fairly certain this wasn’t a problem before. At first, I thought it needed Jet-Dry, which it did. But the dishes were still wet after that. I also noticed that it wasn’t very hot in there at the end of a cycle, so I tried opening the dishwasher at various points in the cycle and found that the heating element isn’t working.

I’m hoping that they forgot to hook something back up after disassembling the dishwasher to install the new motor, but what are the chances? I tried looking myself, but the heating element is in the back so you’d have to take the dishwasher out and put it on it’s back to view the area. No thanks.

Anyway, Krisay’s is coming next Friday to look at it. I’m not too excited about the prospect of another repair. But since I’ve spent so much already on it, I will probably have to do just that–unless it’s something ridiculous like the control board.

On the plus side, I can still run the dishwasher. If I get the hot water running before I start it, it cleans just fine. So, worst case, I could just keep running it like this until the next thing breaks. We’ll see what happens.

This was a pretty good movie about a young Korean-American family who moved from California to Arkansas in order to start a farm. It starred Steven Yuen (better known as Glenn on The Walking Dead) and it was interesting to see him in more of a traditional role. It turns out that he’s a good actor.

My rating: 4/5

This movie starred Bob Odenkirk of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fame. I’ll give it this much–it was a good action flick. But, I need a little more from a movie than that.

My rating: 3/5

another problem fixed

Krisay’s fixed my dishwasher yesterday. Yay! It’s so nice to have it working again, especially since I’m in canning mode and am generating a lot of dirty dishes. For similar reasons, I haven’t been very motivated to cook, so now I can get back on that, too.

Finally. I bought tickets for myself and Jake to see Jim Gaffigan before the pandemic started. The show was supposed to be last August. Needless to say, it was postponed until last night. It was at the Kovalchick Complex at IUP, which is a really nice venue.

It was a great show. The opener was on for a very short time–probably 15 minutes (which was pretty short compared to other stand-up shows I’ve been to). And, Jim Gaffigan did his seriously funny routine for about an hour (which is a pretty standard length for headliners). So, it was a quick night. I even got home in time to watch an episode of Better Call Saul before going to bed.

Prior to the show, I was happy to receive an email saying masks were required for all attendees. But, at the show, I was disappointed to see that mask wearers were in the minority and they did not appear to enforce the policy at all. So, if I end up with COVID over this, it will be a less funny memory.
