Think Through Your Head

Futurama may be coming back! I have an internet source saying that Comedy Central has ordered 13 episodes. That's not quite the same as a real source, but it'll do.

This morning, I went to Sears to force them to fix my dryer. They told me to call the service number. I would have hurt someone, except the guy there told me that my problem was probably (a) the breaker or (b) the thermal fuse. He said if the house were older and had real fuses rather than a circuit breaker, he'd bet money on that being the problem, but the circuit breaker was still high up there on possibilities. I checked it when I got home from school, no problems, so it was on to the thermal fuse. This is a small-ish piece on the back of the dryer which prevents the whole thing from over heating. There are about 3 million reasons it could have blown. Lee's dad also believes this to be a likely source of the problem. Lee and I took the back cover off the dryer and removed the thermal fuse. I'm going to take it back to Sears tomorrow and they are supposed to check it for me, so that I'll know if that's really the problem. They have replacements for it, so I might get by with only paying a few bucks for the replacement part with all the labor being done by me or Lee (with some phone tech support from Lee's dad). Knock on wood.

Tactical Missiles is still interesting, but I'm with Lee on wishing for a little more formality in the requirements for this first project. Looks like Amy's joining us in the class. I figured she would. It's a more fun class than heat transfer, and on a better day (not Friday afternoon). I'd make the same choice. I DID make the same choice, until my advisor told me to take heat transfer also.

School lasagna and garlic bread for lunch. That's good vittles. Then a nap while everyone was in class, and finish the day off with a seminar (grade: A) and the purchase of a UTSI hoodie. More tomorrow.
