Then I pushed the roller back down onto the shaft. It rotates nice and smoothly now and the dryer no longer screams when you turn it on. (I'm sorry, all you 15 year old males - you may now go take a cold shower). I only had to consult Youtube a couple of times on how to remove the top, and open up the front to get the belt off (seriously guys, go take a cold shower).
You learn a lot about home appliance repair when all your life you pray before you decide what jobs to take. I'm not saying God doesn't pay well, but I think when they talk about God giving you abundance, perhaps it may be an abundance of skills that he gives you in some cases, or maybe an abundance of children or an abundance of work to do. I'm pretty sure He wasn't strictly talking about an abundance of cash necessarily.
Hey, I can fix dryers and sometimes washers if nothing complex is going on. It's a skill that comes in handy a lot and saves a lot of money. It's a skill I learned because God chose not to make me rich.
Thanks, God. I'll take it!

Three times a week I am sentenced to go to Cardiac Revenge (Rehab) where Frau Body Pain (the cute blonde who runs it) tortures me on the rack (various exercise machines). Trust me, having a cute young blonde screaming "More! More! Harder!" at you is not necessarily a good thing.
Somehow, my fantasies of such a situation were remarkably more fun than reality.
I recently had a colonoscopy. The nurses were attractive, but somehow that made it worse. They say you don't remember a thing. They lied! The only thing that the anesthesia seemed to have done is to scramble my brilliant (at least in my head)dissertation on the superiority of non-Keynesian economics. I got lost somewhere between my head and my mouth, though I did get a good laugh during the bit about the Laffer curve. That was gratifying.
That happens sometimes, but usually I can't blame it on the drugs.
I just realize how elderly we're starting to sound, Mark. I'm writing about washing machine repair and somehow we wound up talking about our most recent medical procedures. As that great philosopher Charles Brown would have said, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!"
