Well, officially residents are prohibited from tampering with the laundry equipment.
Unofficially...I didn't tamper with it. It's one of those computerized washing machines. If it were a good old-fashioned mechanical one, I'd fix it in a heartbeat. Since it's not & every Tom, Dick, and Harry can see into the laundry room, I figured it was best to cut my losses & report the failure to the laundry service guys.
Aside from Laundry Day Mishaps, I'm working much OT to make up for next week when I'm in Colorful (snowy) Colorado for Christmas. It'll be a good time.
You have a safe trip West. I know PDX will treat you VERY well.
I will indeed. I miss mountains, dry snow, trees that never change color, and CDOT sanding & plowing the road, their tire chains jingling merrily.
About a week is all I'll need before I start missing MDOT salting & scraping the roads, trees that lose their leaves when the frost hits, gravel trains, and the most courteous assholes (we may cut you off on the freeway, but we'll let you into traffic on the side streets) to ever sit behind the wheel.
oh i think its cool
