Just finished covering up the Beetle with its cover as it’s supposed to pour down rain tonight.
No pictures yet but my wife swung by my work on her 14 hour round trip to ultimately buy a new to us horse trailer. She saved up her overtime and got a Trailswest 6 horse with weekender. A nice upgrade from our old 5 horse. Its a big unit, about 7400 pounds dry. I guess there is a reason we run a diesel.
Leaving for Great Clips to get my hair cut. Gotta be there at 8:45 and my younger sis will cut my hair before they open.
Still figuring out how to charge it, lol. Let's see some photos from that gold brick.Thinking about Blake's new

Wondering how many more new ways, and how many more flip phones and ipods, Blake will find to spend his money the second it is in his hands.

Got the screen protector and case on my new phone earlier. Waiting to a time when I know we will be home for a bit to set it up. Also waiting on the current one to back up. Had to buy iCloud storage to back it up as the backup with the free new device storage they give you failed. Now tinkering with my old iPhones and iPods got them all to connect to the wifi and they are working. BITOG security is so Advance though I can’t access the site from them. I was going to post some pictures so you can see the difference in a 2007 phone picture vs 2023 lol.
My iPhone XS is now apparently the oldest still supported by ios17 so with the next update it will likely become a dinosaur. I'm considering the 14 as it has the satellite crash reporting etc. that are the real reasons to upgrade a 13 or lower. That should be good for the next 5 or maybe 6 years before they dump it. That plus I can get some trade-in money now which is the only way to go. A little over $600 after tax. Debating.
Mind blown when I found out how to pull trouble codes out of a Kenmore/Whirlpool washer. Washer can't initiate wash cycle. Codes flash in binary like those binary clocks. Pulled code F7E5 for shift actuator fault. Went under the washer and pulled the actuator, bench tested it and found the 3W AC 'turntable' motor to be bad. Motor turns a cam which moves a large lever to dis/engage the washer slputch and a small lever in the actuator that open and closes a momentary switch. That same actuator also houses an optical pickup sensor for washer drum RPM speed.
Worst part is none of the parts houses have the actuator. I needed to get this up and running in hours or it's a trip to the laundromat.
Fault code F7
Error code E5
