I guess, technically, that camping is kinda supposed to be wihtout too much in the way of electronics...but still. hmph.
Maybe we could set up an ECF murder mystery for Fudgey... who should we have killed?

I thought that Fran pirated the wifi from someone else at the camp ground last year....
Is it possible that the wing and back feathers will grow after the tail feathers grow back? Either way, it sounds like he's doing well with you. Perhaps another picture would be in order
Time for me to get ready for work. Have fun counting screws

Re: Dishwasher
Sears is having a "Fourth of July" sale, so the unit we were interested in is about $200 less than it was this past Tuesday. Plus free delivery and installation (until July 12th).
If you have THEM install it (LOL... like I'd try it myself) there is no sales tax. THAT I do not understand. Appliances are not "capital improvements"... are they? We paid tax on the fridge.
Gotta add on "installation kit" (ie: drain hose) and a POWER CORD. A POWER CORD is EXTRA. When is the last time you bought something (that runs on AC only) and had to pay extra for a POWER CORD??? Nope... THAT is getting thrown in as a freebie if they want the sale. Or they can just repurpose the current one.

Re: "Bass"
I just noticed my signature has been censored. I'll need to remedy that situation.

Done!

And you know what... that "installation kit" will also get thrown in. Let's recap:
... unless this dishwasher uses the same water over and over and over, the unit MUST drain. With me so far? So please explain why a drain hose is NOT included with the unit. Is draining a costly-extra "feature"??? Is draining an option? I suppose it could just drain all over the floor. (BTW: it says the installer can NOT use the existing hose... again: why not???)
... I just checked and it will not run on batteries. So connecting to to the house electrical system is a MUST. So why is a power cord NOT included.
Most people will just accept those two things and pay with a smile. And it is THOSE people who make me the way I am. I do not "just accept" nickel and dime-ing. In this case, a drain hose and a power cord should come already coiled and attached to the dishwasher. To expect us - the consumer - to bend over and grab our ankles is insulting. I'll do THAT on my own terms, thank you very much.
ETA:
Good morning, Tibs!
morning tibby?
morning, tibby.
I hope you slept well last night dreaming about the Pepper.
morning, tibby.
I hope you slept well last night dreaming about the Pepper.
morning, pepper! no work till tomorrow! the boy is here today
Oh, the boy's here.
I guess Pepper won't be on the menu today.
yup! that bear is raring to go!
You bet'cha! And: done!
Turns out the installation kit is a water SUPPLY hose (not drain). But the concept still stands... it NEEDS WATER to work. It should be on the dishwasher as a "given" and not a costly option.
So:
... no-cost installation kit
... no-cost power cord IF NEEDED (it could be hard-wired, in which case it isn't needed)
... no-cost installation due to poor wording on the website (*)
... 5-year extended for 3-year price to soothe this savage beast
* - The website says "Delivery and installation: $139.99". Since their delivery charge is $69.99, but free during sale, that leaves $70.00. But, the sale also includes $70 toward installation. To me, that means FREE "delivery and installation". Salesman tried to tell me $139.99 is installation only. I pointed to the "and". He countered that it is is installation only. I pointed to - and spoke - the "and". He countered that it is installation only. So, I said "OK"... add it on... but I would later take it up to a higher level... not HIS fault for bad wording. I gave him that much. But he ended up issuing a credit for the $69.99, so it all worked out. I will still be contacting their main Customer Service about the wording. It is confusing and misleading.
I should start a "Consumer Stand Your Ground" course.
