Recent victories thread

Okay, this is a happy moment.

I fixed the washing machine. I tried this a few weeks back and nothing worked right then (got it working though), but today the thing just fell apart again. I popped open the front cover, the motor was (this time) easy to remove, I super-glued the bottom pulley back together, and it was running again in 30 minutes. The squeak and rattle are gone. And it looks like this time they'll stay gone!

What's your recent victory?

I travel most of the year and while I was in Singapore last week I lost my passport book with credit cards and everything in it. There was also almost 5,000 in it. I left it in the taxi. Of course I knew what had happened as soon as he took off. (I am a bit absent minded thus why I need a hosueboy) I was very upset and thought that was the end of it all. When I returned to my hotel, the concierge called me over and gave it to me. He said the taxi driver brought it back. I was stunned. No money or anything was missing. I asked for the guy's name but they said he didn't leave one. I tipped the doorman and ask that he get the information for me if he ever sees the guy again. He was my knight in shinning armor that day.
