Deep Thaw Dos

As some of you may remember, we have a history of freezer breakage...
And we are pathetic in our ability to be distracted. This week, the freezer started to thaw again. Mrs. and Mrs. Smarty McBrianEinstein's that we are, we chucked the melty pops and ruined items, sopped up the wetness, threw the salvagables into the 'frige and went about our business for about 22 hours before we realized that the refrigerator part was also broken...

PEEEEE-EEEEUUUUWWWWWW!

We emptied the entire monster, unplugged it and mourned it for several days (eating out 2-3 meals per day) while we figured out what to do. The delay was mostly due to the original plan of waiting for the weekend, borrowing Dad's truck, and hauling a new (but slightly damaged) 'frige from the Sears outlet... The items from the outlet are cheaper, but cannot be delivered and/or installed. After several somber days of "gearing up" for this manual labor in the hottest part of the summer, we agreed to "check out" the REAL Sears and price shop. Twenty minutes later, we had a receipt and delivery time set (so easy- so painless) and we were off to eat our first meal of the day (in the air conditioning of a restaurant!)
