This has turned out to be a classic Monday and it is only lunch time. Our clothes dryer broke over the weekend. I pulled out my multi-meter and found the thermal fuse had blown. So I jumped the fuse to allow us the use of the dryer until I got a new fuse monday morning. This dryer is 20 years old and it toasts a thermal fuse every 4 to 5 years.

The first stress inducer was the appliance repair shop that I called and confirmed they had the thermal fuse didn't have one in stock, but could order it for me now that I was there. The second shop didn't have one either but he was just around the corner and I didn't call ahead to verify. I ended up making a half hour drive to the Sears Service center and picked up 2 thermal fuses for $3 and change.

While I am out and about chasing down a thermal fuse for my dryer and I get a text from my wife telling me she wants Nachos for dinner tonight. I do most of the cooking since I retired. I know we have none of the ingredients except for the meat and spices. I stop at the grocery store and pull up my internet connection on my phone (android) and do a google search on "chicken nacho recipe". The very first hit is "Beefy Loaded Nacho Recipe | Wholly Guacamole®". Good job google!
