Mise en Garde

This infernal machine is driving me nuts. 
First thing in the morning, I have to unplug it, remove the water container, and shake the bloody thing upside down over the sink. After that, it works like a charm for the rest of the day. If I don't do it, it doesn't work at all. (Some research on Youtube tells me that the solenoids stick). One of these days I'll do a proper maintenance job on it, even if it's with a big hammer. 
The rest of the day was all about bits and pieces. Meet the accountant, a couple of errands, and try to make the wheels of industry keep turning. 

Ah well.
