A 10-year-old Washing Machine

It has been a decade since this washing machine came to our house. My wife and I bought it at the timing when we moved to a brand new house.

Recently, my wife has noticed that there is often some water leakage seen under its bottom. We made a decision to carry out a thorough clean-up on the indispensable one.

First, we moved out the washing machine from the bottom pan. I expected it would be too heavy for us to lift up, but it was performed with little difficulty (Picture, left). She was way much stronger than I thought. Second, I removed all the sludge that has piled up over a period of some 10 years (Picture, middle), which was the most laborious task. Finally, we replaced it at the same place as it was, i.e., under the dryer and on the pan (Picture, right). It took only an hour as a whole.

We are lucky because no leakage has not found after the cleaning, although we did not recognize any reasons that could be associated with the water trouble. It is reasoned that lots of dusts under the washing machine would cause the leakage. I guess, however, that the washing machine was crying because it had become dusty. No wonder, a washing machine is a big fan of cleanness, given its role.

We never make it feel sad again.

A lecture in college

Today, I visited the classroom of our college, where I had studied a lot (?) as a student. It has been more than two decades since I graduated from college. To be fair, this is my first time to enter the room, as shown in the right panel, because it did not exist; it was build around 2000 (left panel, right building).

I made a lecture regarding cardiomyopathy and cardiac infectious disease, such as acute pericarditis, myocarditis, and infective endocarditis to 3rd graders. I am not sure whether they could make heads or tails of my contents, although I made every effort to make the lecture easy to understand.

Anyway, it was an exciting experience. I love learning something new as well as teaching to young people who are eager to learn. I saw a few student sleeping during my lecture, but I was not surprised because I did it sometimes when I was a student. The problem is the volume I prepared was too much to handle in 90 minutes. Next time, if any, I would do more better.

P.S.
Last night, I had a nightmare, where I was late for Today's lecture and freaking out in a taxi while heading to college. After I woke up and found myself on my bed before dawn, I breathed a sigh of relief.
