Falling apart

When Tammy was gone things began to fall apart.

My front bicycle tire was flat and the new glue is not ideal for patching the tube so I am still working on it.

My pickup tire was flat.

The refrigerator (without Tammy to torment with its popping and wheezing noises) got very quiet.  A side effect is that the temperature is not as cool even with the controls turned all the way up.  The freezer keeps stuff frozen but ice cream is soft.  The refrigerator is cool but not as cold as it should be.  Looks like a new refrigerator may not wait until the kitchen is remodeled in a few months.

Then the vacuum cleaner died Sunday morning.  Good thing I have the vacuum cleaner from when I lived in Minnesota.

26 second video of the end of the vacuum cleaner.  It had been even noisier than what you hear in the video.  Just like Daisy and Tammy who are camera shy, the vacuum cleaner tried to clean up its act for the video.
