It’s the first time in a long time the sun is out – reached 63 degrees today!

 

Back home. Ana cooked a simple quick dinner for us: Japanese Style Fried Rice with Sweet Potatoes. I add smoked Salmon to my dish.

 

Taking the dryer apart to replace the drum glide on it. We had been experiencing a persistent squeak and scratching sound. I already knew the drum was leaning to the right enough to scrape the sidewall. Upon further investigation I discover the rear bearing was protruding through the bracket. Well, I guess I gotta order another part.

...

It looks like a face crying out for help. But we just ignored his squeals every time we turned him on.
