Well thank goodness - this damn washing machine was really starting to bug me.
Some basic troubleshooting led me to believe that the drain pump was the problem, but I didn't have a way of confirming that. I pulled the pump out and went to a Harbor Freight to pick up a multimeter. I checked for continuity, certain that it was an open loop.... and it wasn't. It was showing resistance.
Went back, connected the electrical leads without reinstalling (so that I could see the impeller), fired up the washer and... ******g pump starts spinning. Damn. It's good, so I've gotta look elsewhere.
Check all of the hoses for a clog - nothing. Did I miss some debris when I was taking it apart? Maybe. Put it all back together. Fill it. Drain it. Nope, still not draining.
Since I can't think of anything better to do, I decide to remove the pump again, while leaving the electrical leads attached... so that I can start a cycle and stick something in the spinning impeller.
Turns out that the slightest touch stops the impeller dead in its tracks - it's a bad pump after all! It's a bad pump after all! It's a bad pump after all - it's a bad, bad pump.

I'm working inside, because A) the neck injury, and B) it is uncomfortably warm outside, for riding purposes. @DougRNS
It's looking like we might not get much of a cool season this year. Maybe ever.
I have a chiropractor/osteopath appointment Monday morning. US$18

Bought it - like everything at HF, it was cheap.
The main reason that I brought the pump with me is because HF is about 25 miles away and a parts store, another 15 miles beyond HF, had the pumps in stock. I was expecting that the pump would check out bad and that I'd drive down the road and pick up a replacement. That it tested good threw me for a loop.
That naughty pump.

Gotta ride when there's little to no traffic on the loop, otherwise it's a big facepalm.
Same.
Wouldn't be in court if there was enough water to go around. Anyway, I applaud Georgia for raising water prices. Hopefully it will double your water bill.
What's in the blue case?

my right bike shoe took a direct hit in the wreck and the plastic sole broke off in front of the cleat. The blue shoes replace my daily walking around shoes that are worn out and the Cordovan ones are replacing worn out Cordovan oxfords. I don't replace until it is overdue. I routinely get 400 miles after the cords start to show on the rear bike tire.
