Darn the luck!

So last week, Rod and I were shopping at Costco at the mall down on Montebello. We came out to put our stuff in the trunk and discovered that someone had hit our back bumper. No note - just a nice ding. Thursday night when I finally got home from making a visit, the garage would not open. Becca ran out and said that the door had crashed down when I left. She said the chain on the opener was hanging down. Yes, it was totally broken. I was staying up rather late and kind of fuming over stuff when I noticed that the washer was was making a really odd noise. I went in and lifted the lid - BLACK smoke rolled out - STINKY black smoke. I had to get a fan to blow it out. Rod had to prop open the garage door with a ladder so the smoke had somewhere to go. Now we have to get a new washer. The motor is completely burned up. They say that bad things come in threes. Hopefully that is ALL.
