Good thing Hubby is Handy.
This is the weekend for broken things:
Kitchen faucet.
Garage door.
My phone's screen (I've managed to downgrade to my older phone with port charging issues, until we can hopefully get my current one fixed. My contacts are a wee bit out of date, everything needs to be updated, and I'll have to be very careful about my battery charge, but at least I still have a phone.).
Red's battery connectors (at least we hope that's the only problem, S really needs him back up and running by Monday morning to get to class. At least Red was good enough to get us home before fully crapping out. Much better than being stuck at our glass class or at the gas station we stopped at on the way home to get ice cream.).
ETA: Hubby took care of 3 out of 4 of our broken things. Unfortunately his technical expertise does not extend to smart phone repair. Also, the battery life of my old phone is worse than I thought. It burns power quickly enough, that I may have to try to restrict it's use to just the functions of a phone. I certainly won't be able to have it continuously streaming radio with iheart, per usual. I may have to resort to using the actual radio to fill the silence.
ETA II: Add hubby's car to the list of broken things. His is even a drop it off at the mechanics fix, not a do it himself one.
My phone turned out to not be fixable. Good news, it didn't cost us anything to find that out. Weird news, I can get a used replacement from ebay for 80 dollars less than the repair would have cost if it worked. Bad news, anything saved to the phone, instead of the sd card, is likely lost forever. Annoying news, I hadn't backed up my contacts in over a year, so I have some work to do filling in some gaps. Slightly optimistic news, my batteries for my old phone are working better than I thought, so I'm tempted just to stick with it for a while.
