The picture tube went on the tv today. It was just bought early last year or late 2004, didn't last very long. A few days before that the washing machine went. A few days before that, the coffee maker broke. Team that up with my rusty/brown whatever tap water and it's not a very good situation. I also can't seem to get anyone who wants to haul my firewood for me this year (I don't have a big truck). It's already November so I will have to get it here soon. Going around with an extra pair of pants, socks, and a thick sweatshirt with the hood up at the moment...
