What are you doing today?

So just after I post "Our LG washer/dryer has had amazing service ..." in another thread, the washer flips out :LOL:

Thankfully, I have no fear about attempting my own repairs, a decent history of MacGyver-y-ness , and the internet is filled with helpful information.

No telling what a repair service would charge (I get a sense it's easily $400+), and I read about people being told "It need to be replaced" ($1000+), but __today__ I ordered a replacement rotor assembly (~$70) and rotor position sensor (~$10), the latter is likely not the issue, but a common failure point and easily accessed if you're R&R-ing the [motor] rotor, so figured why not for $10 and an extra 20-25 minutes. The rotor is even an updated part with the specific design issue improved. :)

Got the rotor position sensor in a few days ago, the rotor yesterday, waded into this today :)

Unplug, slide the washer out, left the water lines connected (so much easier). 4 screws to remove the rear panel, the bolt that holds the rotor to the main shaft is 17mm, and it was almost finger loose! Probably contributed to the issue - inspect the bolt it's fine. Rotor comes right off (has a little magnetic resistance), yep, the splines in the receiver are super worn down - the new part has a metal insert in the center hub (vs. just plastic) it's an improved, OEM replacement part.

Removed the stator, 6 10mm bolts, a couple of screws that hold the two wire harnesses, unclip the connectors, old position sensor seems OK, but a simple and cheap R&R while you're already in there. Clips off, new one snaps on, clip power/sensor harness back on, bolt it back up.

Clean up the bolt (old Loctite), shaft, some fresh blue Loctite, fasten it down good, used my bio-torque sense :D

Back cover reinstalled, push it back into place, plug it in. Works perfect! Total cost $88.23 (-5% CB from Amazon) and about 35-40 minutes.
 
Wife made deviled eggs today! They're not just for Thanksgiving :D

The best part is the ol' school Tupperware storage we use for them ...

And I got stopped by a train coming home from school drop off this morning (pic was to the wife, with an "Oh no, train!" :D

I've been driving the Jeep non-stop, to balance out the extra mileage we put in the Tesla from all the airport/Orlando trips, now our average between the two vehicles is ~376 miles / month :D

This was our favorite today. Gorgeous inside, beautiful lot with a creek running from the side to the back. We’ll look at some other places next week, but we both really like this one a lot.

I really like it! Not the *ahem* decor, but the design/architecture of the house itself.

So this is a move for you and the hubby? AL to AL?
 
Hah, today I done been spoofed by a sibling.

My bro went to great lengths today to play a sweet prank on me. First I knew of it was he called me on his cell to say "Hey you just got a Grub Hub delivery, go check it out!" -- and I was mystified since I doubt that Grub Hub has ever even imagined delivering to my area.

But what do I know, since that assumption has precluded my ever looking into their services. I was upstairs putting some fabrics away. So I said "Wait, what? they deliver over here? They text you when they deliver a gift? How does that all work?" -- but the call dropped while I was talking, which is not unusual around here, service being extremely spotty to nonexistent.

I redialed him, but just got his vmail so I left a sort of mystified thank you message, went down to the first floor and looked outside and sure enough there was this paper bag sitting there on the deck.

So I get it and open it and there's a humongous sandwich and some chicken teriyaki, an apple and half a baguette as well... so I'm putting it all away and thinking of pigging out on some of it and meanwhile I'm wondering what shop the food came from. I begin to suspect Panera's because of the baguette.

So I look at the bag again and then start laughing. Yes it's from a Panera's over in Oneonta, BUT there's a ticket on it just says my brother's first name and "Drive Thru" on it. "Grub Hub" yeah no.

What a sweet guy. From his place in another rural township over to the city of O and then here and back to his place is at least 80 miles through the cold and snow. And I hadn't even shoveled a fresh path from the plowed driveway to my back door yet today since I wasn't expecting any deliveries. He had just dropped the takeout on the deck and took off again per our no-contact agreements during covid. I'm gonna say he maybe had a spell of cabin fever but whatever, it was clearly also brotherly love. Made my week!
