Over the last three months it seems an inordinate number of household appliances have gone into disrepair.

• Dishwasher
• Dehumidifier
• Freezer (Garage)
• Kitchen Sink Leak
• Iron

In addition, replacement batteries or recharging has been required for the following:

• Camera Batteries (enlarged with overcharging)
• Car Battery
• Smoke Detector

Coupled with the replacements and repairs to things I use, these days it seems that all I do is try to maintain the status quo.

Recent or pending Amazon purchases for replacements or repairs...

     
     

Will be getting a new dishwasher next week and purchased a new dehumidifier several years ago in case something like this happened. Repaired the kitchen sink leak and learned to use the new tool.

Miscellaneous replacements include two plants I had in the den. A lot of traffic in the house last summer proved fatal for two of my favorite plants and I am just now getting around to replacing them. See here and here for the earlier versions of the plants.

The following illustration shows some of my recent Amazon purchases.

I think there was a problem with the surge protector used in the guest bedroom/sewing room where the iron is kept. I have another iron, so this is not a high priority, however I am not happy with the loss of the old Rowenta iron.

I have also been taking inventory with other issues in my closets and found I need to implement several fixes or repairs before the cooler seasons arrive. One of the issues shown below.

This is just for information. The six pack of undies I purchased to go with my new white and tan slacks were on sale for $7.99. I think I got a good deal, and they are not uncomfortable, however I will not be using those undies for every day use. Here is the link if you want to try them for yourself.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention several of the organizations that provide the API resources I use to develop some of my tools, have sent notifications about updates to their services. I have some major software rewrites/repairs coming up.

Areas affected include the government representatives application on the WiredPages Government page and some of the CareerOne applications on the Employment page.
