I had a plan for today. I was going to repackage the fitness tracker from Amazon and send that stinker back. I could not get it to work. They will give me my money back.
While at the UPS store, I intended to go across the road to Dollar General, use my $5 off $25 and stock up on dry cat food, and cat treats.
But wait!! I got a phone call!! The appliance repair person got the part in for my freezer and he wanted to come right out, on a Saturday, and take care of it.
He did!! He says he suddenly has lots of repairs in Marion, the next town over, between our town and his. It is because they are having lots of power outages and surges while they are repairing the infrastructure. Recommends surge protectors just as Jekca said.
I learned, from our conversation, that he is in his 80's. He sure does a good job and is pleasant to have in my home to repair things.
Now off I go to put the package in the return for Amazon and stock up on food for the kitties.

Until his job disappeared that was my husband's plan. He has had nothing but health problems since.

He came as soon as he had the part. He is very busy, even though it is a Saturday.

Yes. He has owned this business, then worked in school maintenance and drove a bus, retired and is back to repairing appliances.

Yeah, he talked about being a kid in 1946, so if we figure he was even six years old at that time he would be 80.

I may get one just like the one I wore out, really cheap, or I may go someplace like Best Buy and have them set one up for me that is more expensive. I know it will be a bit before the return arrives back at Amazon.
