Tuesday 12-4 Replacing Computer Fan

Smile and be happy

We had a wonderful day.

Louise's computer had been over heating and shutting off. She bought a new one and Larry decided to try and fix her old one. He ordered a new fan but it didn't show up, he contacted the supplier and they shipped another one, it arrived yesterday. This morning he replaced the fan. In order to do so he had to take the computer apart. Before he did this he went on the internet and found the repair manual. The manual said there were a total of 91 little bitty screws used in assembling the machine and only a professional should take it apart. Larry ended up removing about 40 screws to get the fan out. Once he replaced the fan he put the computer back together and it works perfectly. Now Louise will be able to use this as her backup machine. Her old backup machine was really old and had a number of problems.

Next up was the Minnie. A couple of weeks ago we were taking it back to storage and Larry heard a rattling noise coming from the engine area. The other day we brought it home to figure out what the noise was, Larry discovered the new PCV valve was rattling, he ordered another one (same brand) and today he put it in, this one also rattled. He called O'Reilly Autoparts, they didn't have one locally but they had one in Waco. An hour and a half later the part was in town, off to O'Reilly we went. The part was a different brand but appeared to be exactly the same as the two that rattled, he wasn't positive it was going to be any different. He installed it and the rattle was gone. He was thrilled. The other PCV valve will be shipped back to Amazon. Once the valve was put in we took the Minnie back to storage.

When we got back home I worked out on my new Just Dance program for 45 minutes. I did a couple of loads of laundry.

In the evening we watched three more episodes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Then I watched House and finished the fifth season of Doc Martin.
