heater--still working!
washer--still working!
submersible pump--done working!
dryer--still NOT working... I'm hoping there's a reset button someplace...
Here are some photos of the backyard:
This is my backyard, taken through the window of my 2nd story office.
Lake Kimbell next door:
This morning, the water behind my house was frozen white; Lake Kimbell was covered with a skim of ice. No time to take pics, however, as I had to get to work.
Tonight is the big calc quiz. I spent about 2-1/2 hours last night working problems on L'Hospital's Rule, derivatives of inverse trig functions, and definite and indefinite integrals. Between work and class, I'm going to review integration by parts; then I'll be ready. Or as ready as I can be. (Note: This paragraph is dedicated to Matty Boy, Distributorcap, and Mathman--the math geniuses of the blogging world!)
Today, in addition to the red-winged blackbirds, I saw a couple of grackles! Imagine that--being happy to see grackles. No doubt I'll be bitching later when they're eating all my birdseed.
Flooding! Calculus! Nooooo!
ReplyDeleteI hope the flood didn't hit your house too badly. Everything looks a little squishy.
Good for you on the calculus! I can't even imagine.....
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it, but I think I'd rather deal with flood. No offense meant.
Splotch--everything is still squishy outside, but the basement is dry and only a little muddy.
ReplyDeleteDCup--if I'd been hit by the drought you've been suffering through, I'd feel the same way!
I'm glad that you are OK! About your dryer, This link makes it sound pretty bad: allexperts.com, but you might look at these links about dryers as well: hometips.com, msgboard.snopes.com, howstuffworks.com.
ReplyDeleteBetween the flood and the calculus, I have to give you big atta girls for keeping your sanity.
ReplyDeleteDr. Z--oh noes... thank you for the links. I thought the motor and guts and stuff were up high on a dryer, but from the diagram on the second link, it looks like my motor went underwater. Oh noes... My word verif starts with IOU -- and I do owe you one. Thanks for the links!
ReplyDeletePoP--well, I didn't do too well on the quiz, but the basement is dry! (for now)
Oh honey I had no idea this happened and you did not say a word. That sucks.
ReplyDeleteI used to get some flooding in Nyack. Once my sump pump pipe to the outside froze and I found about 6 inches of icy water in my basement.
Miraculously all appliances lived.
Wow.
Cripes! I don't understand any of that math stuff!
ReplyDeleteI might be losing my mind, Delia. But I swear I commented before, good luck with the Calculus quiz afer all of this. How can you be an English major and do Calculus? Right-brain/left-brain...
ReplyDeleteI am late, late late. But at this point you'd better to ask the dance about the calculus. Since she is taking the course now. I took a 1 week refresher 3 years ago. My real calculus days were in 1983.
