Just a bit of maintenance …

That would be dryer fuses. Remember I discussed that in the last entry? Well let me be the first to tell you, changing them is NO FUN AT ALL!

Thank goodness it doesn’t need to be done often. My dryer has to last me just 8 more months. We are selling it rather than moving it and having it in storage for a few years. It is already about 15 years old.

You have to pull it out. Unplug it. Detach the dryer hose vent (I hate this!) take off the back of the dryer. Find the two parts that need to be replaced. Wire them off, wire the new ones on and then put everything back together.

This is no fun. It is hot. And should I mention now just how dirty and dusty the inside of my dryer really is??

But I guess for $22 it is better than a new dryer.  Now we have warm air cycling with our wet clothes. Life is better. And I really hope that fuse holds until I can sell the dryer!!!!!

Thursday Morning and I am awake!

Seems like I have been up since dawn. Well duh I have been. I couldn’t get much sleep last night. Seems puppy was having issues so I was up with him most of the night. Just when you think that your kids are too old for the night time feedings and diaper changes.

Today is article writing day. I have to get back to work. I am going to try to get out at least 8 articles today. I know that is a lot, but …. I can do it!

See ya in a bit!!!!

Looking for Scholarships

I have a High School Senior this year. Looking for ways to pay for college. This is a whole new ballgame. The oldest joined the Army, so this is new.
Time tracking software scholarship is something that looks good. It is available for undergrads this year. This seems like a pretty straight forward scholarship for 500 dollars for tuition and fees.
1000 words or less. A choice of two topics - Persuade someone who doesn’t want to track his time on a per-product per-activity basis why it is in his best interests to do so. or describe a real situation that you’ve encountered where project oriented time tracking has made a positive difference in the world.
The student has to be entered by June 1, 2008 and a resume and transcript has to accompany the essay.
Check this out and see if it works for you.
