May 23, 2006

Clothes dryer was running very hot.
After clearing the vent hose lower left the dryer was still hot.
That meant the vent pipe to the roof must be clogged.
My wounded left hand is much improved,
but not yet strong enough to grip a ladder and climb.
So I used a plumber's snake (auger) to clear the pipe from below.
Judging from the lint that broke free on the roof (lower right) when we turned on the dryer I think it worked.
Anyway, the dryer is no longer running hot.



Thank you for your kind thoughts and congratulations for the completion of our fast.
We fasted scores of times before.
This was the first time we fasted publicly.
Your encouraging words make it very easy.
Thank you.

We will be traveling for a couple of days
My camera will be with me but my laptop won't
So I will catch up when I get back.

Speaking of computers...
I owe many of you thanks for your well wishes and
offers of help to recover my lost data.
Sad as it is, I must report that it is hopeless.
All data was lost in the crash.
Even I..., am surprised at how well I am taking this.

Nice shot. It's important to clean out the lint once in awhile--I had to do this myself just a couple of weeks ago. Sorry to hear about your hard drive. There are folks that can probably recover your data, but it is frightfully expensive.

sorry to hear about your data....
I started taking backup of my pictures.

Yours is a mixture of good & bad today, Dave. What a shame your data was lost though. I hope your travels are good & safe.

We should all learn an important lesson from your recent computer tragedy.

Good work , I think you deserve a merit badge for your effort as a plumber.

Problem solved. I'll have to remember your solution. :) Have a great trip and sorry to hear about your HDD and photos.

Seems as though I should take a hint from this..better look after my own dryer.
Robin Reid24-May-2006 01:54
No lint needed after Lent ;-)
Enjoy your little trip.

Good thing you fixed it. That causes house fires. Have a good trip.

Glad it was fixed, sorry about the data loss and have a good trip.
See you upon your return.
Karen Leaf24-May-2006 01:46
Dave, I'm glad you told us what you are doing, cause I would have put my fist thru that wall :(
My dryer is running hot right now too. It's the only warm thing in the house. I'm not sure I want to get mine fixed.
Really sorry about your data loss my friend.
