This isn't part of my job description

Took apart the Maytag Bravo this morning ... need to replace the water pump. Got it ordered, saving myself a couple hundred bucks in a service call.

Next, ordered a new lamp from my DLP tv. Should be a cinch after the job I did on it a few years back when I replaced it's color wheel.

Finally, my boys want me to fix their Xbox's RROD. Sigh. Off to Radioshack.

Think I'll get time to play in the garden today?
