Love revolvers. Whadja get? Pictures, of course, or it didn't happen.

Well it didn’t happen. Gun was there but person at counter could not get signed on to computer. Was at store one hour and still could not get signed on. When I complained to store manager he said it was FBI without checking with counter person and hung up on me. Easy decision for me called corporate and canceled order. It was a Ruger Wrangler. I will get one from local gun shop. 5 minutes from my house. Rural King is over 1/2 hour away. I like shopping at RK. But when I want something it always seems to be out of stock. Better shopping closer to home.

56 degrees this morning, going for a high of 70 after that cold front came through yesterday. We got a very heavy, but relatively brief, downpour 3 times for a total of a little over an inch of rain. It's been a long time since we had weather this cool.

The ice maker in the refrigerator has died again. We have a Sears service contract, so day before yesterday I called and was on hold for 12 minutes with no one to talk to, so I hung up and went online. The person I talked to there wanted me to change the water filter, which I do regularly anyway, turn off the ice maker, then turn it back on, and wait a day to see if that wouldn't fix it. I had no expectation for that to work, but I followed directions carefully. So yesterday, I tried going online again and their website didn't work. So I got on the phone again, and after 17 minutes on hold a nice young lady answered. I think she was speaking English, but I wouldn't bet on it. But after asking her to repeat what she'd just said many, many times she finally made an appointment for one of their contractors to come see about the ice maker tomorrow. I've always had good luck with Sears employees on service calls, but only twice have they sent a contractor, and in each case, the contractor had no idea what he was doing and accomplished absolutely nothing. But I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best tomorrow.

I posted the above on the 10th of this month; Thursday. Sure enough on the 11th (Friday), the Sears independent contractor called, and arrived promptly. His name was Miguel, obviously of Hispanic origin which has nothing to do with what I'm saying EXCEPT with my hearing, I have a problem understanding accents. He seemed like a nice guy and appeared to know what he was doing. Once again, I was surprised that he had a new ice maker in his truck. So he replaced the ice maker and left. HOWEVER, it not only made no ice overnight, BUT the refrigerator, below the freezer, was not cooling and was getting warmer all the time. Now Miguel had given me his card, so instead of calling Sears again, I called Miguel. Now it was Saturday and he said he had something he had to do that morning. I'm sure glad we have a refrigerator in the shop so we moved all we could out there, from the house refrigerator. So Sunday morning, Miguel called and then got here about 10:30 a.m. He had some interesting ice maker testing equipment that I'd never seen before, then he took the ice maker out, and removed the back interior of the freezer compartment to get to a little fan that was not turning, and freezer coils that were iced up. Once he turned that fan with his hand, it started spinning. So he unplugged the refrigerator to let those coils thaw out, and he removed that little fan and lubricated the hub, put everything back together and was done in just about one hour. And everything has been working just fine since.

The refrigerator is 15 years old, so Saturday I did a little online shopping for a new one, but Miguel says this one should be good to go for a long time yet.
