I wanted to go for a motorcycle ride today but everyone was busy and I didn’t feel like going by myself. It was a good thing as I was working on installing the new water softener when I noticed that Cheri was doing laundry and there wasn’t much air coming from the dryer vent. So I got out my ladder and checked it out. I had to take out the chalking from around the outside of the vent so I could get the cover off. I found a built in plastic screen where the air comes out, it was plugged with lint. There was no way to clean it out so I cut the screen out and then was able to clear the opening. It was a fire waiting to happen. The dryer should dry clothes much faster now. So now I want all of you people to check your dryer vents to make sure they are clear of lint. The vent cover had change color from the sun so I gave it a paint job. Tomorrow I will be able to put it back together. I made a list of things I needed to install the water softener so it would be a permit installation instead of being portable. Then Cheri and I went over to Lowe’s to get the parts. I worked all afternoon on the install and was missing one part and had to go back to Lowe’s again, good thing Lowe’s is close by. I didn’t quite get the project done today and will finish up tomorrow. I gilled some rib eye steaks for supper. They sure looked like good steaks but turned out to be so tuff that we couldn’t eat them. What a bummer when you pay a high price for a good cut of meat and then can’t eat it. We played dominos this evening with Paul and Bev.
