Psychotomy

so, the dryer’s been running real freakin’ slow. as in, a load (and not one of hte huge full loads or a load full of sweaters and sweatshirts and other sponge-mimicking materials; regular t-shirts and underwear loads here) were taking 1.5-2 hours to dry. it used to take the same 30-45 minutes as the washing machine, which was downright handy.

been measuring the tube, but i had to do it by running the tape around and then dividing by 3.14125something … in my head (yeah, so i divided by 3 and then fudged a bit :p) came out to 4.5″ pipe. great. i can take that, and unless they have like 4, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75 or something, i can get the one that looks closest to what i wanted. and i DID! 4″. of course, having pulled out the dryer so i could unhook the old hose, i found that it said on the back “use 4″ exhaust” .. convenient that :o

clambered around, vacuumed out the hookups on both sides (well, vacuumed some, but mostly just pulled stuff out). there was an inch to inch-and-a-half thick layer. all around the tube. meaning a 4″ exhaust was flowing through ~1″ of space … no wonder it took fucking forever :o

while we were out we picked up a new air filter and i swapped it out. got primer for redoing the border region in the nursery (the squares i did were all screwed up and all over the place and looked like crap) and ran it over the drywall patch in the bedroom, so we can paint that eventually

then put out the “caulk-b-gone” around the tub. no clue on that, waiting for it to finish.

and k wants a second walk it seems :/ but i’m *TIRED* dammit!
