The return of the oven!

Our oven works! Well, sort of. The part that was replaced today wasn't exactly the correct part. We received a 30V AC motor instead of a 12V DC motor for the oven door lock mechanism. Apparently the manufacturer switched them out sometime during the production run of the oven, and they sent the new part for the new ovens instead of the old part for the old ovens. The repairman was able to wire the thing in well enough that the oven was tricked into believing that the door lock was functional and all features of the oven work now except for the self clean cycle. So, yet again, we have a part on order, which is a bit of a disappointment. But the good news is that we can bake and bake and bake all we want until the proper motor arrives. You'd better believe that we threw some of those little frozen pizzas in there after our trip to the gym! Tomorrow night is dinner at church, but I'm already thinking of all the tasty oven cooked meals that we can make on Thursday and Friday night!

In other news, Errol was diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer this morning. Poor little guy. He let us know by leaving the most disgusting stool EVER right before I left for work. Blech. He is expected to recover and is showing no other signs of being sick, so don't get too terribly worried about him quite yet. :)

How on earth did he come along with an ulcer???? Errol,er Ludwig,alias Riley leads the life of the latter. Has Fang been giving him a hard time? I'm going to be upset anyway. Please take good care of my little grandpuppy.

Sorry to hear your precious puppy is feeling ill - Hope he's back to normal soon. I am glad you have your oven back - I can't imagine the anguish of no oven - although I have gotten pretty good at using the grill as a replacement on hot days.
