Electronics Woes
We’re leaving for Disney World soon, and I was sending an email out to all mine and Steve’s clients letting them know, along with contact info for Steve. Well, I couldn’t remember Steve’s cell phone number, and I couldn’t find my cell phone number to get it. So I called my own cell phone to locate it. After a lengthy search, I finally discovered it in the dishwasher! Josh had picked it up off a table in the living room and put it in the dishwasher. Then, without knowing that, Leann had run the dishwasher.
Obviously, since I was able to locate it, it is still working to some extent. The screen is messed up, though. After finding it, I disconnected the battery and set it out to dry. I tried turning it on this morning, but then was unable to turn it back off. I took the battery off again. I’ll let it dry some more and see what happens.
On a much more minor note, the power button on my PDA stopped working. There are, fortunately, other methods for turning it on, but I just had to set the auto-power-off to 30 seconds so I wouldn’t waste battery power. I would take it apart to see what the deal is, but I don’t want to risk ruining anything.

That is so funny - well maybe not to you but… Peter and I went running one night a few years back and we were so hot afterwards that we ran to the pool and jumped right in…clothes on and everything. His cell phone was in his pocket!! He dried it out and to our amazement - it worked fine for a couple more years!

This really gave me a good laugh. Have a good time on your vacation. We leave on vacation tommorrow - to Seattle. Just hope we can find gas to power our rental car. Most stations here (that have gas) are over $3.00 a gallon!
