[12:44] <jackson> hello JonathanD
[12:44] <JonathanD> Hey. Whats up?
[12:44] <jackson> not much & you/
[12:45] <JonathanD> Just getting ready.
[12:45] <JonathanD> Zoo is this weekend!
[12:45] <JonathanD> Be there, or be bear.
[12:45] <jackson> cool
[12:45] <JonathanD> http://geeknic.org/?p=159
[12:46] <jackson> i'm north of Pittsburgh
[12:47] <JonathanD> jackson: hey, our elephants are there...
[12:47] <jackson> .\\]\
[12:47] <JonathanD> you mind picking them up and bringing them back?
[12:47] <jackson> ok
[12:47] <jackson> lol
[12:49] <jackson> http://www.visitpittsburgh.com/listings/index.cfm?action=display&listingID=1537
[12:50] <JonathanD> I've been there.
[12:50] <JonathanD> To the zoo, the aquarium.
[12:50] <JonathanD> and the science center. My son has the submarine tshirt.
[12:53] <jackson> cool
[12:53] <JonathanD> the sub is fun.
[12:54] <jackson> took a tour on a atomic sub
[12:54] <JonathanD> nifty.
[12:55] <jackson> too crowded
[12:57] <jackson> I disassembled an A-10 warthog aircraft even less room than a sub
[12:59] <jackson> ha when we disassembled the Gatling gun there were 3 round still in the gun
[13:00] <JonathanD> I need a model number for this washing machine.
[13:00] <jackson> open the lid should be there
[13:00] <JonathanD> thought so, is not.
[13:00] <JonathanD> gonna look on the back
[13:00] <jackson> what brand
[13:01] <JonathanD> whirlpool
[13:01] <jackson> what do you need
[13:01] <JonathanD> I think a belt broke.
[13:01] <JonathanD> I hope a belt broke.
[13:01] <jackson> how old
[13:01] <JonathanD> not sure.
[13:01] <JonathanD> gonna pull it out, brb
[13:02] <jackson> after 1985 it would be a coupler
[13:02] <jackson> pull it out 18" and tip back on it's rear feet
[13:03] <jackson> look between the motor and the gearcase
[13:03] <JonathanD> http://applianceguru.com/forum2/5427.html
[13:03] <JonathanD> seems similar, and I found that number on the back
[13:03] <JonathanD> jackson: I'll have to do that tonight. I need to drain it first.
[13:03] <JonathanD> Thanks though :)
[13:04] <jackson> oh is it front loader?
[13:04] <JonathanD> we have a rule in this house.
[13:04] <JonathanD> You don't call the repairman until it's on fire.
[13:04] <JonathanD> nope
[13:04] <jackson> ok
[13:04] <jackson> take the hose and lay it on the floor and let it drain
[13:04] <JonathanD> but theres too much water to tilt it without causing new fun.
[13:05] <JonathanD> yeah, I have a drain, I'll have to run something over to drain to it.
[13:05] <JonathanD> fun stuff to do after work ;)
[13:05] <jackson> I am an retired repairmen
[13:06] <teddy-dbear> morning
[13:06] <jackson> http://www.repairclinic.com/Washing-Machine-Top-Load-Whirlpool-Style-Appliance-Diagram
[13:07] <jackson> mornin teddy-dbear
[13:07] <teddy-dbear> o/
[13:07] <jackson> JonathanD: http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Motor-Coupling/285753A/1195967
[13:08] <jackson> JonathanD: if it is the coupler it still will be able to drain the water out
[13:09] <jackson> could be the lid switch
[13:09] <JonathanD> lid switch works.
[13:09] <JonathanD> I cna hear it attempting to spin.
[13:10] <jackson> then it shold drain out the water cause the pump is on the other end of the motor shaft
[13:10] <JonathanD> it does, but I didn't want it injuring itself further in the process.
[13:10] <jackson> put the timer in spin
[13:11] <jackson> you wont
[13:11] <jackson> the coupler of on the other end
[13:11] <jackson> is*
[13:12] <jackson> 20 min job or 110 dollars
[13:12] <JonathanD> parts cheap enough.
[13:13] <JonathanD> jackson: I can do it. No problem with getting my hands dirty.
[13:13] <JonathanD> letting it spin/drain now.
[13:13] <jackson> yep  main cause is overlloading or not enough water
[13:13] <jackson> ok
[13:14] <jackson> follow the instruction for removing the cabinet
[13:14] <jackson> ez job
[13:14] <JonathanD> jackson: I have to leave for work but I've bookmarked both links.
[13:15] <JonathanD> Thanks for your help man.
[13:15] <jackson> just remember to set the cabnet back in the tabs when u reassembling it
[13:16] <jackson> if the tabs aren't up use a screwdriver to lift them
[13:16] <jackson> the set the cabinet
[13:16] <jackson> then
[13:17] <jackson> i think there is a youtube  vid on doing it
[13:18] <jackson> o/
[13:35] <InHisName> glad I don' t have to fix my washer, today.
[13:35] <jackson> me too
[15:47]  * InHisName is thrilled washer AND dryer still working.  
[15:48]  * InHisName has mixed emotions on analog tv still working fine.
[16:02] <JonathanD> hah
[18:02] <JonathanD> Got that laptop running debian now.
[18:03] <JonathanD> and the wifi is working
[18:03] <JonathanD> via PCMCIA
[18:04] <JonathanD> At not completely terrible speeds.
[18:36] <ChinnoDog> "not completely terrible"...
[18:36] <JonathanD> Well, it's 500mhz...
[18:36] <JonathanD> 256MB ram.
[18:36] <JonathanD> it is not fast.
[19:06] <JonathanD> hmm
[19:06] <JonathanD> no sound
[19:14] <ChinnoDog> Install a sound card
[19:14] <ChinnoDog> with a wavetable
[19:14] <JonathanD> :D
[19:14] <ChinnoDog> because wavetables are cool
[19:14] <JonathanD> a sound card where? :p
[19:14] <ChinnoDog> idk
[19:14] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: it's gotta be onboard or nothing :p
[19:14] <JonathanD> I'm using the only working PCMCIA for network.
[19:14] <ChinnoDog> Is there an empty space for optional sound chip?
[19:15] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: it has sound (under win XP)
[19:15] <JonathanD> seems debian bug 464191 applies
[19:15] <ChinnoDog> Is that an unsupported chipset?
[19:16] <JonathanD> looks like it was removed from later kernels.
[19:20] <ChinnoDog> Better compile custom kernel?
[19:20] <JonathanD> How long is that going to take on this "lovely high performance machine" though.
[19:21] <ChinnoDog> You only have to do it once
[19:21] <ChinnoDog> And leave out the extra garbage
[19:21] <JonathanD> ChinnoDog: this isn't my machine. It's a time/money tradeoff here.
[19:21] <ChinnoDog> Oh, I see
[19:23] <ChinnoDog> How much money do you get for making it work?
[19:24] <JonathanD> not enough to spend mucking with it for hours :P
[19:25] <JonathanD> $50
