It's Wednesday! Happy hump day! We're halfway thru the week! Yay! It's also scout night for us. Today is kind of humid along with the hot heat, mid 80's, maybe hotter. I have almost no energy. I'm feeling blah. Lot's has been happening. I've been running around the last few days looking for chest high waders in a shoe size 13 that doesn't exist on store shelves. Walmart stocks up to size 12, but not bigger. Wish I found this out a few stores ago! The hubby told the teenagers if they fixed the BIG TV that has been in a box since December last year they could have it as theirs. The same time it got boxed up I went online to Google the symptoms and found one of two diagnoses that could be wrong with it. A TV place in town said it could be a dust problem or a panel. They claimed the panel could cost about 600 bucks and said just to replace it. I found one for 89 plus shipping. Anyways my hubby just wanted to get rid of it. He didn't want me touching it and trying to dust it out, especially the fan. For some reason he decided to let the kids. They dusted it, wiped it down and guess what??!!! It works again!!! Perfect picture! Definitely wasn't a panel problem, but a dust problem! I'm kind of mad he wouldn't let me open it up and dust it out myself last year. Oh well. It's now the kids' TV for their game room! Last night we bought a new entertainment center for it. My oldest has spent all day putting it together. I'll post pictures of it soon as the room gets cleaned up. We took the old boxy TV that quit working and the old entertainment center to the thrift store. (Yes if they can't get the TV working they will take it to the recycling center at the dump for it and they get recycling credit!)
Today after he finished building it I applied for school. I hope this application goes thru. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I'll keep you posted!
I guess what I am trying to say is don't forget to dust! If you dust your TV's will last longer!
What's your least favorite chore to do at home?
