What are you doing right now?

Took my left hearing aid in for repairs, the wire connecting the ear piece to the main receiver was about to snap off. It's a Phonak and still covered by warranty. I have my old HA's so that prevents a crisis. Should be about a week. 🙏

It's odd that you have to wait a week, when I have a speaker go bad, my audiologist can replace the speaker and wire in about 15 minutes.

The Phonak warranty doesn't allow my local audiologist - who I've dealt with for 35 years - to do the simple replacement, he has to send it to Toronto or Mississauga for the work. If I was out of warranty, the repair would be done quickly in house.
 
Debating whether it's worth it to point out to someone that if they read the documentation I've already sent them (several times) they wouldn't have to keep asking me questions that they already have answers for. Since I don't have a winning lottery ticket in-hand, I just muttered something I can't post here (lest it violates guidelines) and explained it yet again - along with sending them the documentation yet again...

It's kind of like having a teenager at home again?

I just finished rebuilding the post WWII era Singer sewing machine that my wife inherited from her mother. She received if from her mother probably 15 years ago, but we have left it as a hallway decoration all these years. She recently got the desire to have me refurbish it.

The insulation on the wires was decayed so bad that much of the wire was bare, so all the wiring had to be replaced. After sitting for so long, I was concerned about all the lubrication spots, so it got oiled good with Super Lube. The cabinet needed a good cleaning with Murphy's wood soap, and then I applied a coat of Goddard's furniture polish.

After I was done, I plugged it in, with the rebuilt power cord, and tested it out. It runs great. I found a source for antique Singer sewing machine parts, and ordered a new belt and a few other items.

My wife wants to find somewhere more prominent in the house to display it, now that it is all cleaned up and actually usable.

My mom inherited a Necchi, that belonged to her mother when she passed, she was a seamstress, and like yours it's mounted to a nice wooden cabinet. My mom mentioned that it had been modified at some point, where it received a power switch operated by foot. When she told me she wanted to "get rid of it", I mentioned to her to save it for me, it's a beautiful piece of history. Thank you for posting the restoration.
