melting snow
Yesterday: Napa had in stock a idler pulley. So we have the car running again. The old one's bearings were frozen, which led to it getting popped off. Dad had to get a set of metric wrenches in order to tighten the bolt, and to get the tensioner loose enough to get the serpentine belt back on. The belt itself was in ok shape. Though, I think we'll have to ask the ford garage to look at the belt at the next oil change.
Fixed the large dryer. it was tedious work. Dad and I had to go wire by wire from the old board to the new board. the new board is a little bit different, a newer revision, I think. but it works.
The friday newspaper finally came. It was in with the sunday paper, this morning. (The Albert Lea Tribune doesn't publish a newspaper on saturdays, sunday through friday only.)
My connection was extra flaky last night. I have no idea why. *shrugs*
Electrical Inspector was here today. Looked at the house service we had installed to replace the 60 amp box that originally fed the house. He was concerned that there was some moisture in the box. We didn't see how it got inside, but there are always possibilities.

Heroes! (though I missed a part of it when the phone rang twice, once for a survey, second for a charity wanting money.) *bounces* Next week is going to be so cool!
Time for bed. lots of chores to do tomorrow. *hugs*
I want you to play ab ovo.
