Google To The Rescue

We have had a very light sprinkle of rain overnight. This means that the humidity level is up and warmer overnight temperatures for us. Last night it was around 12 degrees so not too cold at all. However the light sprinkle of rain made roads and pathways too wet for me to ride this morning. Days are in the low 20's.

Texas Lou is experiencing super warm temperatures and very low humidity in her home town right now. Read her comment from the post below this one.

The dishwasher had a flashing "Normal Cycle" light the other day. A quick read of the handbook suggested the heating element had gone or there was a heating element problem on the main 'board'. When we opened the dishwasher door there was heaps of steam and the dishes were still very warm. It seemed to us the heating element was fine!

Onto Google again to check out if there was a simple remedy! All comments referred to the water heating element had failed one way or another. One person did suggest removing the power cord for an hour and letting the unit 'reset' itself. To be on the safe side we disconnected the power lead for two hours. The dishwasher was full last night we gave it a try! It worked perfectly! Thanks Google!

Computer Club was as busy as usual yesterday. I added "True Launch Bar" for one person and did an install of Nod32 for another. I gave another lady a quick lesson on getting photos from her camera and other people had problems with recent Windows Updates failing to install. I was able to help most people.

As soon as I looked at one computer I saw there were Windows Updates waiting to be installed. He had over 250MB to bring his Windows 7 up to date. Some of these failed to install I later found out when he rang me mid afternoon. I couldn't help him from 8 kilometres away!

I have another guy wanting to know how to get movies off the internet. He is due here in a few minutes.

Trish is moving better now and actually down the street doing some grocery shopping as I type.

In her spare time she is working on a website for a friend down in Melbourne. You can keep an eye on it HERE. Come back regularly because Trish updates it with more information fairly regularly. When finished it will be transferred to its 'own' web address.
