It was inevitable! (Alias "The Dryer Update")

You had to know that if the repairman showed up less than twenty-four hours after I called for service, it was too good to be true.  Sure enough, after sixteen years of service, our dryer control panel was dead.  Unfortunately for us, they stopped making our control panel in 2016.  No matter who or where we called, our panel was obsolete and no one had one in stock. 

So began the dryer hunt . . . from Sears to Best Buy to Tony's Appliances, on-line and in-store.  I spoke to Sam about an hour ago and he thinks he's found one he likes that he's going to stop and pick up on his way home from school.  Sure hope I like it, too!
