Buns are out the oven .
Oh it's going down nicely too!
My sourdough starter is on the kitchen counter, waiting to be fed. My wife has cut back on her bread consumption, so I’m not baking as frequently of late. I want to bake before we take a short camping trip.

What a beautiful thing!
Yeah buddy! Looking forward to breakfast tomorrow morning. Herm’s fresh toasted sourdough with smashed avocado, olive oil, sea salt and Aleppo pepper.
And homebrew sometime tomorrow.
Cheers, mate.

I've seen some Mohawks and Frohawks in my time but never a LOAFAWK!
Oh, my oven. My bread baked fine on Saturday night. Sunday night I wanted to roast some asparagus, so I turn on the oven. In the meantime, I go outside to check meat on the grill, sip beer, wander around, check my navel. Back in the kitchen, I check the oven - nothing. The stove top works, the broiler works, but not the oven. Time to replace the oven igniter- oven will be out of commission for about a week. I ordered the part (it’s not available for pick up anywhere), and now I wait.

That sucks big binocci's
Especially since I wanted to make a pizza this week.
At least you know how to do it yourself (or at the very least are confident enough to try). I know some who would wait 2 weeks, one for the service guy and a second for the part.
I will usually try to fix something myself in an attempt to save money and learn how things work. There is plenty of useful info online that led me to discover what was wrong. I should have the replacement part by Monday.
Me too, but that is rare. Most folks are afraid to try, afraid to fail.
I mentor a high school robotics team, and very rare is the kid with enough confidence to know no matter how badly they muck it up, they will figure out how to get past it.
I work very hard to let them fail, as the recovery builds real confidence. I hope they become confident, self-reliant adults.
Sure, some tasks take research and careful thought, but no matter how bad it gets, if ANYone can figure it out, then you or I (and some others) can. I mean, someone built it, how hard could it be?
Well said! Somebody built this thing so somebody can fix it.

That is a huge life skill! It is more valuable, in the long run, for them to struggle and place third than to coast into first place with no adversity.
