Level Of Difficulty at Work: .5 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: Long
i think i need to reduce the length of time of my naps. i think it's messing my sleep pattern!
Ugh, our house is going crazy. i think it's the wiring and the lack of it being grounded. This leads to many power spikes and is zapping the crap out of anything thats not on a surge protector. Our latest is the Oven, i guess it's a top of the line Kenmore Elite in the range of $2k. It's a dual-fuel rangetop. The burners are gas and the oven is electric, it's controlled by touch-panel and what not. When we came back from Alaska the display was showing "F1." We didn't give it much though till we broke open the instruction manual. It says that some sensor is messed up, ok so it's not that bad. I go online researching this and people are complaning that it's more than a messed up sensor but a fry'd circuit board. Lovely. So the repair dood comes (70$ right there) and the replacement board comes to $385 and to install it's another $120. So i ask how long is the warranty on this and he says 90 days. Ugh, ok, is there a surge protector that i can get for a 220v, No. So back online i go to research and theres more than a few people thats replaced the $385 board more than once!! This is not sounding good. I think we need to do two things, one get an electrician to look over the wiring, and two get a non-digital ranges.
So off we go to Lowes, Home Depot, Best buy, all the ranges are digital! To Fluffieladys dismay, the only one that *I* find n like is a Viking @ $3k(!). It has the exact dimensions as the current range. Anybody else know of any non-electronic Range, Please scribble it. I don't want to pay 385$ for a board that will last till the next zap then the cycle continues.
In other dinner news. If your in europe and have 7900 Euros to burn, you and 21 others can Dine in the Sky. Where you get strapped into a 4-point chair and onto an huge dinner table and craned up 40-50 meters (130~165 feet)up in the air and be served a gourmet dindin! The thing i don't understand is, if it's 7900 euros for 8 hours, are you up there for all 8?
Now for something more tech-geeky. Is a LED t-shirt that is designed like an equalizer and lights up to sound / music! Bump it!
