Thought some might find this amusing .... Mom and Dad came through town Monday on way to his weekly chemo (mild follow-up regimen after his colon cancer situation). Mom hadn't been feeling well for a couple days, suddenly got woozy. So they swung by my house, she stayed while Dad went on to the appointment. She called me at work, concerned if he might need to be fetched afterward, yada yada. Anyways, I came home to check on her. She was in the guest room having a restie. A norther was blowing through that day, and the dryer vent was flapping (guest room and utility share a wall), which it tends to do during windy conditions. She thought maybe somebody was riding a motorcycle up/down the road, LOL. I stuffed a rag in the vent. Last night I washed a load of sheets, forgot to pull the rag out. I was doing some web surfing, heard a faint, odd tweeting noise. Didn't pay much attention. Went to the kitchen a few mins later, it was the dryer fussing about lack of airflow. Tweeting and flashing an alarm. Didn't strike me at first what was the deal. I thought maybe the cycle had ended and it failed to unlatch or something. I hit Power to shut it off, it unlatched normally. The sheets were warm and dry ... then I remembered about the rag. |
