What am I seeing here?

This. Is. The. Purple. Death.

I just spent an hour disassembling my dishwasher and fishing this fucking purple gasket from a plastic storage thingy out of the bowels of the appliance.

This is the kind of dumb stuff you have to do when you live too far from a reputable appliance repair person.

The end result?

I just fixed my own dishwasher and didn't have to spend a dime.

I feel accomplished and of course, caffeinated.
