Brief report

altivoI'd like to say because my fingers are stiff from the cold but we have the woodstove going so it's not that cold in here.
The repair guy for the electric range came in and handed Gary a piece of paper. It's a recall. The problem has been officially known since last May. At that time, there had been 126 similar incidents reported, and two of them involved fire damage. A whole series of different models are affected, ours included. The fault not only can cause burners to remain active when they had already been shut down with the controls, but also can lead to the heat being turned on at random times and without warning. This sounds serious enough that they should have sent out notices to every owner of record the way auto companies do, but no. So they claim they will fix it all, free of charge, but we have to wait for parts to arrive. This is a Frigidaire product. Guess what brand I will not buy again if they can't be bothered to notify customers of their own very serious design errors.
Tomorrow we get to go meet Red, the adoption candidate proposed to us. I expect that to go smoothly and he will probably come home with us. This should be a welcome diversion for Gary, whose school term ended today and who will now be worrying about his grades until they are posted.
And that's the news from the Oak Grove.
