... Too warm too fast. (Yeah I know, I just can’t be pleased

)
Our dishwasher is failing ...
Here it's been too cold, too hot, back and forth, too fast. How can I get acclimated when it does that?
For a new dishwasher, consider the Mele brand. Cleans very well and very, very quiet. We use turbo mode. Runs about an hour and 50 minutes. Normal mode runs much longer. No need to pre-wash by hand before loading in the dishwasher. Just rinse off chunky stuff.
50' and cloudy. No rain expected. Maybe 69' later. Tomorrow we start our climb through the 80's into the upper 90's and maybe 100' on Monday.

I was raised on that stuff. Tastes great and less filling both!
Up here in the land of pure well water it’s 47 and sunny. High maybe 70 with a warm up to the 80’s by the first of next week. No more rain in sight but we’ve had several nice soaking showers the last few days.
Yesterday Mrs hatchdog picked out a new dishwasher and refrigerator only to get home to find out our kitchen cabinets won’t allow a 72” fridge. So back to the appliance store today to look at 70” models.

I was so happy she made a decision (not easy for her) only to have to start over again.

89 F here at noon. The weather said it feels like 100 outside. (It's right, it does feel hotter)
Thunderstorms due late this afternoon.
First cup of the day in plain Jane. Busy morning.
Putting the garden in some more today.
Hope you all have a great day.

45 and sunny this morning. Just came back inside after a nice cup of coffee on the patio. The dogs are loving it. High in the 70’s with warm temps continuing for several days peaking around 90. Depending on our schedule we might take the boat out next week. Time to pull it out of the shop and start the motors.
Yesterday we went back to the appliance store and after 2.5 grueling hours my wife finally made her second decision of the week. (Might be a new record for her). We have a new fridge and dishwasher being delivered tomorrow. Yea!
Mags, the dealer didn’t have the Miele dishwashers you mentioned but did have the Miele laundry sets……we ended up with Bosch, spendy but these should be the last we will ever need…….

We paid the price for a Bosch and we have had to have it repaired already. One of the pumps failed.
They are very quiet and efficient when working however.

Well that sucks. We did get the 5 year warranty in case of issues but that’s just wrong for appliances in that price range.

82F and super muggy here. Going a little higher before more storms this afternoon.
Frequent coffee breaks while putting the garden in. Almost all the plants are transplanted. Later today or tomorrow I hope to get sweet corn in my second garden area. I've tried it up in the pasture and the deer usually decimate it as it starts growing. Closer to the house may work.
Hatch, my house came with a Bosch dishwasher. It is so nice that when a Bosch stove was a choice, that's what I went with. I like mine, hope you do too.
I hope everyone has a good day.
