The 3rd piece of equipment in our house finally died and now I can stop waiting for the last shoe to drop. Around the fourth of July our refridgerator in the garage stopped working or more accurately stopped cooling, it was running all the time. (thanks for the reminder Consumer's Energy). So Joe made a trip to Home Depot on the Fourth to find a low cost model to keep his beer cold.
On Showboat Saturday, the window AC unit in our bedroom quit. DRAT. Thank goodness he could buy local and replace it with a new, way more efficient model from a local hardware store. It's quieter and smaller and has a remote! I think we've already lost said remote.
The final tri-fecta was when the lawn mower hit the wall and sputtered to a stop last night. Once again a trip to the hardware store saved the night when Joe came home with a new self propelled bagger. Wow, that takes a little getting used to. My trees, edging and all poles have been tagged by my inability to steer that little black monster.
All these new upgrades are totally better than their shoddy predecessors, now we just need to pay that dang Ace Hardware bill.

I didn't know air conditioners came with remotes. Fancy!
How did you get them to open the store after hours? And what will you do with that little mower and air conditioner on a sheep farm?
The mower will be useful for trim work (around the house and barn. he he). But the A/C may have to go back to the store as a "floor model". Crafty.
