So my 4 year old Kenmore (aka Whirlpool) fridge has what might just be the stupidest ice maker design.

In door ice, with bucket in door. The water filter clogged prematurely, likely due to city doing perpetual maintenance on water lines. The water pressure to the ice maker dropped so that it ran non-stop trying to fill the ice maker in its normal cycle. The water ran through the ice dispenser bucket and out a relief valve in the freezer door and onto the floor. Fine, replace the filter and mop the floor. It's making ice but now the ice dispenser doesn't work. Why? Because the motor is mounted below the ice bucket and in the path of the relief valve. Fine, remove the motor. Area surrounding motor was solid ice. Let it thaw and it works. Install it, it works for a few hours and then stops. Motor housing is full of water and it's 'sealed' with no way to remove the water. Water freezes and binds the motor. Roll the dice, drill small holes in lowest part of the downward facing side of motor housing, shake out the water. Stick in the oven for 2 hours at 200 degrees. Shake some more. Let it cool off and dry, reinstall and it works. Running the ice dispenser hourly throughout the day. Hoping to not have to buy a new one for $70.

Stupid design.

This is my yellow saab:

I have a set of 'inca' allow wheels to go on it, like the ones in this picture:

I am about to get the wheels refurbished and powder coated

I am thinking about getting them done a different colour because silver is boring, but i'm not totally sure what to go for. I'm tempted by black or gunmetal grey but I've never seen these wheels in any other colour before in person so i'm not sure what it will look like. Has anybody got any suggestions?

Here's one I GIS'd which appears to be black and silver:

I like your yellow Saab. Does it have the alligator clamp safety belts?

Add me to the owns a Rolex club. I keep it in the safe because I rarely wear attire for which a $25k watch is logical or appropriate.

Milk makes me congested and pimpley (but oddly cheese does not) so cereal is a sometimes treat.

That said, I grew up on Post Raisin Bran mixed with Crispix (well, Chex before Crispix was a thing). But if I'm going to do a sometimes treat it's going to be either Lucky Charms, Froot Loops, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Golden Grahams.

Also, someone turns 40 today :toot:
