Awake: 6:44am Temp 40 sleep 6+45 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
We ate a very light breakfast & then motored to Johnstown & Lowe's; we returned some light switch covers & got our $ back. Next, a visit to Wal-Mart for grocery shopping, & then Conzati's on Scalp Ave for some beef, pork chops & walnuts. Then we parked @ the Market Basket where Kathy did more grocery shopping for canned goods & I purchased a replacement foot switch for the Kirby vacuum cleaner from the nearby Kirby dealer.
From here we motored to downtown Johnstown & McClure's, where we ordered some glass shelves for our cabinet behind the bar on which to store some of our glasses.
Back @ our house, the Zernick guys made good progress on our deck. They ran out of railing posts & the remainder should be in by Thursday or Friday.
After talking with the guys in New Jersey, we decided to have our Jura coffee machine repaired...but they told us to use our original shipping box to send the unit. I made a big goof. I assumed our Jura coffee machine was in good shape having been overhauled in 2004 after making some 3,000 cups of coffee & then sent with Melissa & Kevin on their moving adventure from Anchorage to Indiana, PA. It was stored in the Foote basement for approx (6) yrs.
The packaging of this machine was amazing...being made in Switzerland, there were (3) boxes in one with plenty of cushioning. Kathy suggested that I should save this marvelous package but I was determined to "get rid of it." We were overwhelmed with too many boxes as it was. I took my time in displaying our Jura; maybe (3) weeks or more. The day came when I wanted to surprise Kathy with a wonderful cup of coffee. I plugged the Jura in, filled the water container full, & had an unopened bag of coffee beans from Katrina's Asian travels ready to go.
Then I thought, perhaps I should refresh my memory a little by reading the instructions. Well, the 1st thing they said to do was: turn on the coffee maker & flush out the hot water into the drain, then....yada-yada-yada Well, it would not flush out anything. I tried everything except taking the darn thing apart. I was so disappointed!
After the Zernick workers drove off, Kathy & I got into the ugly, mucky, yucky burn pile searching for that one-time beautiful package. She found it after we both were wet & a little dirty; even though the big box was made strong; it had been rained on & dumped on & was bent, twisted, caved in, & very rough looking, but we intend to make it work. It's parts are now in the drying room.
Lights out: 11:20pm.
