The delivery guys called and said they were 15 minutes away; I was amazed because we were promised a 10-12 delivery window and they arrived at 10:10. I thought to myself can this really go smoothly? The Mrs had emptied the contents of the old refrigerator and I had turned the water off. She had also pulled the fridge forward and cleaned the exposed floor. Yeah I'm useless when she's on a mission. They asked us to lock the dog up "someone was bitten" so DW stayed with her so she didn't destroy the bedroom she was confined too. They helped me open our front double doors and the carefully hand trucked the old beast away. I noticed there was a good deal of grime on the 11 year old machine. We run a pretty tidy ship - I thought.
The new machine was unboxed and I was asked to inspect it in all its stainless steel glory (after all these years I sensed a very bad decision coming on my part- the little voice said "no Ray have her check it" but she was busy with the dog) It looked fine to these old eyes. The brought it into the kitchen, plugged it in and nothing happened. I thought to myself I knew it - here we go. A few minutes later the machine warmed up and it came on. They hooked up the water, I tipped them and they left. I immediately left for my Doctors appointment.
I returned a good two hours later to find the Mrs on the phone. "It's missing a shelf", "there's no manual" and the biggie "there's a scratch" (sweet Moses will I ever learn to listen to that voice). I'd swear that tiny dent wasn't there when I looked. Anyway she got $200 off and her missing shelf. The imperfection isn't visible when the fridge is in place so who cares. Will I ever Lear?
