I have had this Maytag Epic since April of 2007. It’s been a great machine and haven’t had any trouble with it at all – until now. I started getting an F02 error code with almost every load. Ok, so I look it up and the manual talks about kinks in the outlet pipe. What the manual never mentions is that something could be clogging up the drainage pipe like right under the washing drum. Thank goodness for 4 year extended warranties. So I call and today the tech arrives. He pulls the drain trap and empties the contents into a pan. There was a whole washcloth stuffed in the drain trap. It looked like a big clump of lint (only nastier – if that’s possible). Apparently there is enough room around the seal for an entire washcloth to get lost in there. Ok, I’m washing baby socks, and small kids socks, which are pretty small. The tech did say he had never seen a washcloth, but he pulls out kids socks all the time and thongs (eeewww!). So much for the myth that the washing machine does not eat socks! I’ve seen it for myself! It chokes on them, but it most certainly eats socks and anything else, including money, ink pens, and buttons.

As I reported earlier, Perry’s highly regarded superintendent was bought out. This put the township into interim superintendent mode. I have to say that this duck (interim guy) could not have been any lamer, which was good in terms of damage control, but bad for the kids. After spending a year watching him in meetings, I had to wonder why he had a job in the district at all. Apparently his former position was useless and was, for all intents and purposes, eliminated, and here he was the superintendent.

What I plan to write here is what I have on my mind at any given time. You might not be interested, but heck, who knows?
I want to tell you about my kids and grandkids. They are amazing!!
Oh, BTW my youngest son, Craig, will be playing at the Bourbon Street Distillery here in Indianapolis on September 30 from 5pm-7pm. His band is a folk-bluegrass kind of band. Craig plays the guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and banjo in the band. They call themselves The Junkyard Dawgs (Craig lives by a junkyard, but the rent is free and the utilities are cheap and he is out of my house), Yellowood (reminds them of dog pee on wood), or the Jackson Brothers (no, none of them are Jacksons or brothers). Y’all need to come and hear them. They really are quite good.

I’ve been trying to decide which direction to go regarding the layout of my personal website. I started out with Mambo/Joomla. While I like Mambo/Joomla, I wanted this site to be more personal looking and more of what you would expect a personal blog site to look and feel.
So I downloaded WordPress and installed it in about 10 minutes. I found the theme and made a few modifications to the header to fit how I wanted the site to look using Photoshop and VOILA! a new website.
Let me know what you think!
