Well shit!  The timer on my dryer has finally given-out.  Online search for a comparable new one is $400, plus added protection is $450.  Called my appliance guy and he came right over.  Just under $200 for a fix.  I’ll take that for now, and replace both washer and dryer later.

PM God/dess Meditation: Nirdu, brother-husband to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Frô and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
