Thank you. Contrary to popular opinion, I'm really a nice guy.

I really am tempted to write something totally idiotic, here. But, that would likely cause my nose hairs to grow faster. And, I could accidentally fart in the tub, and pass out.

Good. Everyone prior seems to have overlooked that screen in the machine itself. I am _very_ familiar with it as my well pumps fine silt and plugs them. I say "them" as I have had 3 machines over 30 years and finally pulled that screen out of all of them.

Never a problem with the hot water as the heater acts as a settling tank...which reminds me that I need to drain and clean that tank again.

Turns out the machine was a replacement for another that had failed about 10 days ago. Turns out this was the first time machine was used since the install! Turns out the installers had hooked it up backwards. Took about three minutes for the appliance crew to fix the problem.

Thanks for the replies.

Cool. Do they have an old-timers race? SBD is one of the three things that I have wanted to do but haven't gotten to yet.

Lou, I'm glad you were able to get your friend taken care of. It seems to me these days that the more complicated our machines become, the simpler the problems are that keep them from functioning. I run service calls for a company with national accounts and wind up going to different retail establishments and many of the problems are frustratingly simple to repair. A womans apparel store chain I get calls to quite often, commonly has the simplest problems with their computer and phone systems. It's usually something unplugged. Of course I don't shop there because they have nothing in my size.

The do have an Ultimate Speed Challenge that allows for older drivers and totally custom made cars (as opposed to the kits now required by the AASBD.) However, there is one criteria to drive in that race that I don't think you meet:

You have to have raced in a Championship Race in Akron at least once in order to be allowed drive an Ultimate Speed car. That means you must have raced as a kid (8 -17) and have been good enough to make it to Akron by winning your city's annual race or by earning enough points on the Rally Circuit.

Here are a few pictures from last year's USC. We're in the process of building a car for the 2010 race which my daughter will be driving.

Well the lady has had major brain surgery so is entitled to some slack. I have zero plumbing knowledge and she is in a rented house.

Thanks for the feedback. We don't always get that. And it's nothing on the lady. She didn't hook it up.

[The Daring Dufas]

You're a good man for helping her out. We need more people like you.

Where are you that you can even get a repairman to show up for less than $100?
