So yesterday, my replacement refrigerator arrived, replacing the noisy one I had taken delivery of three weeks earlier. The guys arrive, and their first question was whether I had signed off on the damage to the front of it. WHAHHHH?? I had signed off on some blemmed paint on one side, the side that would not be visible in my kitchen, but the front had looked perfect at the store. So I go out to the truck and see that the lower door of the fridge has a dent I can see from 20 feet away, as well as some scraped paint. So crap, now what. The delivery guys call the store, get a manager, hand me the phone and he asks if it's something I could live with if they refunded me $50 -- um, no, I don't want to look at that damage every time I go to the fridge, which is like 23 skillion times a month. So then the manager has the brilliant idea of just swapping out the doors of the two fridges, which were identical models. Done, problem solved, new fridge purring away as I type. Sure a lot of nasty weather in the Northland today. Almost looks like a hurricane on the weather radar map, with the eye over Fargo. I've run all the errands I needed to already this morning, and got the grass cut and groceries bought yesterday, so I am looking forward to a day of cooking, house cleaning, laundry and guitar practicing. I have a gig in a week and have not played in eons, calluses pretty much gone.

Refrigerators are like Fender guitars. The parts can be swapped. Cool.

Bill, you should have taken the money. Now you have a grandkid, you will never see the door of the refrigerator anyway under the kid pictures. Soon she will be sending you pictures she drew and beautiful artwork from a 2 yr old will be on your refrigerator till you move. Edit: ALL artwork from your granddaughter is beautiful.

Good morning. I'm just thinking about what to have for breakfast or maybe brunch at this point. It's supposed to be thunderstorming but the sun's out so I've power washed the outdoor furniture so far. Mike, call Bill Murray and see if he has any ideas. If he does, pass 'em on because the voles are tearing up my "Lawn". There are tunnels all over the place. Bruce, victory is mine. <insert maniacal laughter>. Victor out of sight mole traps. I bought three at Home Depot. Watched about 5 videos on YouTube, and sometime last night or this am I got the little sucker. Feel sort of bad about the lethal option, hope he goes to the happy mole warren in the sky, but he was doing serious damage to out front lawn. First time I ever had any success at getting rid of a mole, and over the years have tryed several different traps, smoke bombs, flooding them.... At last success. Mike

Glad to hear it is now an ex-mole. Don't feel bad about whacking him/her/it. There are a few million more of them out there.

No, "big ass" means a large butt; behind; rear end; gluteus maximus. "Cat" mean cat; a small feline (Felis catus).

My Vole problem started last year. Voles are just field mice that burrow and herd worms apparently. Anyway, all I can figure is the local raptors are on strike and the local feral cats are too. It could be lack of snakes but I consider that a good thing so I'm blaming the birds and cats. The current groundskeeper at the country club is doing a great job keeping the voles off the greens with traps. I may have to invest in them. What I really want is a steamroller.
