Other Progress

One other chore I've been meaning to get to: replace the racks in the dishwasher. It's a perfectly good dishwasher, but the racks are rusting and losing their pins. Glassware got chipped. The holes in the silverware caddy were maddening too. So I called up Trible's. They had the parts, shipped them to Falls Church, and I picked them up Wednesday. Zack helped me figure out how to get the the stops off the top rack rails and install the old water director thingie off the old bottom rack onto the new one. I'm glad it wasn't an IQ test; I'd have failed. And/or my son is brilliant. In any case, it was easy and now I'm happier about doing the dishes.
