I ripped into the dishwasher first thing Saturday morning with the plan to get a seal kit and a new bearing and have the dishwasher back together all for less than $25. That plan was quickly crushed when I finally got the motor out. The rust and other crud buildup on the impeller shaft was the only thing keeping the water from leaking out. The motor shaft was so far damaged that no seal would hold back the water. Now the decision is whether to replace the entire motor assembly and impeller or just buy a new dishwasher. Fun.
Put my tools away and hit the road for a couple hour ride. Consistent with how the last few weeks have gone, the ride ended in a thunderstorm and a few miles of pouring rain. 36+ miles with about 2000' of climbing. Rode past the Snowville Creamery farm where they were having an open house / farm tour. It was good to see the place was packed. Between that and it was the annual St. Rt. 143 yard sale made for a lot of traffic. Still, it was great to ride.
