Alls Well That Ends Well

As the sun set this evening, things were looking a lot better than earlier in the day. First, Ed woke up to issues with the high def boxes hooked up to the tv sets - no audio on set and missing channels on the other. After a call to Brighthouse, service was scheduled for midday. Then the washing machine developed issues and the calls to Sears started.

By the time the Brighthouse tech had both sets working, Ed had decided that it did not make much sense to pay for the service call plus repairs on the washer & dryer. He used the time waiting for the tv repair to be completed to research his options on laundry. Plus, as Pleep pointed out, we hadn't had any major expenditures in the last 72 hours and to be patriotic, we really should continue to fuel the Central Florida Coast economy. After a very nice visit with the salesperson at Sears, we arranged for the purchase of a new front load washer and dryer. Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. How great is America - you can arrange for everything, have it installed and the old stuff hauled away all in under 24 hours.

Pleep enjoyed the sunset period on the balcony where the temperature had dropped from the 90's to the mid 70's with great breezes off the ocean. Of course, cocktails were in order and everyone enjoyed watching the action on the beach. Pleep insisted that Ed have a couple of beers with him to toast the evening. He is looking forward to the installation tomorrow and getting everything ship shape for the first real visitors on Thursday. Ed is just looking forward to the possibility of no more repairs, replacements or cleaning.
