Happy Sunday...

We have a Jack Benny!...an interesting Jeff Regan, Investigator and The Columbia Workshop...Suspense!...and ending with a Command Performance from ‘44...that is a strong lineup.

How are you? Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours...

[WXRGina]

Happy Thanksgiving, Vision! How’s it going?

[Vision]

Hey Gina, it's good. My upright freezer died after 7 years so I'm kind of peeved about that. But I'm only working Monday and am blessed overall.

You? Plans for Thanksgiving?

[WXRGina]

Oh, bummer! Stuff breaking is lame and expensive. I hope you get a nice new one.

We don’t have any plans yet. Still thinking about it. :-) Are you going to W’burg?

[Vision]

Especially when they don't last. My father has a freezer that keeps working after 30+ years.

Yep, it will be good to get away for a few days.

[WXRGina]

Right! I know I sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but it’s true that “they don’t make ‘em like they used to.” And what’s worse is this “green” crap that the environmental whackos have imposed on us. I had to get a “new” washing machine when ours died, and I was blessed to find an older fellow who fixes the newer washers and dryers and sells them. He hooked me up with a good one on which he’d disabled the stupid “smart” tech, and it works like a gem.

[Calvin Locke]

Seven years for a "major appliance" isn't all that long.

What brand is it?

Oh, and I hope you found room for the all the stuff in it, one way or another.

[WXRGina]

Oh, and I hope you found room for the all the stuff in it, one way or another.

C.L., I thought the same thing. :-D

[Vision]

I know. Frigidaire. It seemed great, -10f, digital display, then the cooling system fails. Will not buy anything else from them. The new Maytag as a 10y warranty but oddly no normal freezers have temp alarms anymore. The whole thing is annoying.

Most of the meat was saved in the upstairs freezer.

[Calvin Locke]

Chest freezer not desirable?

There's always the add-on alarm option.

[Vision]

I’d rather have an upright for more room and less space. Never heard of an add on alarm for a freezer.

[Calvin Locke]

Oh sure. Just variations on the remote thermometers for ovens and BBQ grills.
