AND...IT WORKS!

Well, after some tinkering last night (namely just starting the machine for short (<5 second) intervals once every hour or so), the dishwasher has successfully done two full loads with the expected and anticipated results. Furthermore, it's done them without making any more noise than normal...and at times I think is actually quieter than it used to be.

My guess for that is the motor mount. When I reattached the motor to the base, I didn't tighten the screws very much. Obviously they're tightened appropriately for the use, but there are huge rubber washers which have a lot of play in them to absorb shock...so I think that (most likely) not having it as tight as it was previously has helped in some noise issues.

So, we can call this one good...and hopefully it works for some time to come. Hell, even if it doesn't, $8 for parts and shipping after two years isn't a terrible thing.

Last Weekend At The Mine

Well, it's official as of today -- I no longer work weekends at Subway (e.g. the Salt Mine). It's going to be weird, actually...because for the last three and a half years...unless we've been gone or had something important going on, I've been there every weekend...so it'll take some adjustment.

But, the important thing is that I will have much more free time during the week, and that's definitely a Good Thing.

Random Quote

I was discussing gossip with someone the other day and made reference to a specific person (not to be named) in regards to assisting the spread of possibly incorrect information:

...before telling {Insert Name Here}, whom you should know will spread it like malaria during the rainy season in Zimbabwe.

Now, I don't know if there is a rainy season in Zimbabwe... or if malaria is commonly spread there at any time of the year, but you get the point. smile
