Got the old dw removed, cabinet cleaned up. Need to configure a deterrent for furry, 4 legged critters that found access next to water & drain pipe. Taking a break first.

I don’t think we have a full sized Sears left in Hawaii. Local store closed about 2 years ago, but we do have the Sears repair service and apparently that does well. We have a 10 item protection agreement for about $50/month, paid every 2 years. Not a big fan of extended warranties but but this one seems to have worked well. To be honest, I didn’t really expect them to replace a 2006 DW including installation. Makes me wonder if I should be hoping for other timely failures.

IMHO, Sears should of / could of been the Amazon, they had such a great distribution system.

Our neighbor growing up opened a small Sears catalogue store in our town in the early 70s. Mostly catalogue orders with some appliances there. My sister used to keep their books. He came to our house to ask a different sister if she wanted to do it. She couldn’t but my other sister said she would. She was still in HS at the time. She kept the job thru college. The guys son took over the store, and the store closed in the 80s when the mall opened an hour away with a large Sears.

When I was on a startup assignment (around 1970) in Bullhead City Arizona there was a small office serving as a Sears store. You could order from the catalog and there were some items spread around the floor to pick from but not much. That was the only way to buy anything at the time this being a very small strip of a town in the desert along the Colorado river.

Sears was put into the ground by the last CEO, who conveniently bought the Sears brands with a few "friends" after they went into the deep pit they are in now. Sure he got a great discount.

I got the old Microwave out as it died the other day. Looking for a new one, seems they are all pretty bad, no matter how much you spend. Wife wants one of the glass front ones, no door handle, whole front opens. Stay tuned for order and install update in the near future.

in an online class right now, so a bit bored

The kitty got fixed today. She’s not liking the cone.

Wife put shredded paper in litter box for litter, she thinks it’s a bed. Then she scoops out the paper with the cone.

Had a train derail about eight miles south and east of us yesterday. Reports vary between 10 and 50 cars off the tracks, with most being car haulers. No word yet on what caused it. More than a few people have been talking in a Facebook community group about an increase in mine subsidence in that area.

New DW seems quieter than the old one. Looks nice too.

Re Sears. As a kids closest Sears was also just a smallish place, that mostly did catalog orders with very little display space. Montgomery Wards was the go to place for display as well as catalog. Fond memories of both catalogs, but especially the big Sears catalog that was probably 2+ inches thick. Boy was that the source of lots of daydreams. Prices must have been decent as well as I can remember figuring how many weeks of saving my paper route money to get whatever had me dreaming.
