Irony is available in the world, and it will touch you, regardless.

Parts for phase two of washing machine repair arrived this morning (Tuesday). They arrived from an order placed late Sunday, online. Amazingly fast, since it had to have shipped on Monday. 24 hour ground service, wow.
.
I got the washer repaired the second time. I should digress that the first time was the motor coupling (weak link technology), my successful diagnostic back on Thursday of last week when I returned here, fixed on Saturday after another 24 hour delivery. The return of function to the drive revealed a bad case of abused dogs (primitive gears) that were minus their teeth on the agitator. It was wobbling badly, so I replaced the two parts, both of which needed replacing, without having seen them before replacement. It was a pain to remove the agitator casing, as pegs had been literally melted into place to hold it together.
.
So the first load is in the washer, purring like it never had in my experience, when a tubing broke in the bathroom, under the sink. It ran unnoticed for about 5 minutes. As soon as I became aware of it, I ran to shut off flow to the house from the well. Fortunately, there was no major damage. But it took a lot of bending and wringing, and my back complained seriously. But it was cleaned up thoroughly and no carpets were seriously soaked, just the bare edges. A couple of rugs are out in the yard drying. Both are durable rugs. No furniture got soaked. The floors are durable and seem to be holding up.
.
The aneurysm that spew forth the water was in a shutoff to faucet, wire shielded, connector tubing. It’s been removed for replacement shopping.
.
As it goes with successful repairs, especially in a succession, don’t get cocky.
.
All this after setting up Miki 3 for a rendering in modo. I like the figure, much, much, much better than V4 when it comes to exporting. So much easier, because it does what it’s supposed to be doing.
.
Still some tweaking of the materials, subsurface scattering on the skin, the eyes, glossy hair, etc.
