Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[Bronze]

Grilling my first meal on the firepit grate in about an hour. Ribeye steaks I got the other day on markdown. Fresh asparagus on the grill to go with it and potato casserole.

 

[FranC]

Can't argue with you Fran. It comes to 65 cents/month.

Can't beat that.

 

[DavidOH]

You forgot to say you're cheap too. Like me.

Very true... Plus if I was to buy one it would be under $500 for the size I'd need..

 

[Desert Dweller]

NO! You are both like me..........FRUGAL !!!

 

[Bronze]

NO! You are both like me..........FRUGAL !!!

Too nice.

Back from therapy.. My frig is warm again. Took it apart and found the fan wasn't spinning. Got the plastic blade off and was able to put a couple drops of 3-N-1 oil for electric motors in it. Now it's spinning freely. I think I'll start checking Lowes for a new one before this one stops for good. Maybe I can find a scratch and one.

Do you have an independent repair guy that does actual repairing? I had the little fan seize up on my fridge, and the repairman was able to just replace the part and keep the old beast working. I think it was under $200 for the part and service call. The only wrinkle he ran into was a slight change in wiring between the 1985 OEM and the replacement part that was easily corrected.

I think it would cost me more than that. I'd be better off getting a new one.

Is the frig old? If old enough probably a good idea to replace.

Yes 20 years or so..

 

[FranC]

Yes 20 years or so..

Yup, that’s old.

Could you replace it yourself?

 

[Bronze]

Fridges are so damn expensive these days.

Yes they are..

 

[DavidOH]

Not really.

 

[Bronze]

Not really.

Sounds like you got nothing to lose.

Afternoon, Bronze.

 

[DavidOH]

Afternoon.. It's really hot and muggy out. Glad I mowed the yard yesterday....

I started mowing the lawn yesterday just ahead of sunset and I got nailed twice by bees during my first row. That was the end of mowing for me for awhile. Screw that!
