Yeah, it's like a little time capsule for the next guy.

My buddy Mark forced about eight of us to sit through "Birdemic" at his place. The plastic birds on strings and the endless driving scenes were just unreal. We kept rewinding the part where the guy whips out a coat hanger to fight them off. It was a solid hour of just pointing at the screen and losing it.

Rainy Tuesday in Spokane" sounds like a tough lesson.

@anna_hill what kind of work were they supposed to be doing instead?

Yeah, the "throw the whole thing away" plan is getting way too common. I had a fancy washer's board die just out of warranty. Instead of buying the overpriced panel, I found a guy online who fixes just the bad capacitor on the board for like thirty bucks. It's been running fine for two years now. The repair is still possible, you just have to mail the part to a specialist instead of doing it yourself on the kitchen table.
