Hopped the ferry yesterday to go get a new TV....
My son came home for Christmas, and he is a techno wiz in electronics, so, mom and I took advantage of that.
What a zoo, people everywhere, arg....
I love living on a island
Bought a 65 inch something that had all that"stuff" that I will never understand, but hey, the 3D movies are too cool 😋
He had to program the Bose sound bar according to where you sit to watch the TV, crazy stuff, but the sound just engulfs you.
What I noticed right away was I was able to discern the whispers, soft sounds, from the main noise/talk....
It really is cool.
Anyway, after a day in town we return home to find our house flooding.
The kitchen was soaked, water everywhere...
I quickly determined the brand new reefer was the cause....
I though maybe the hose to the ice maker ruptured, pulled it away from the wall, nope.
Looked inside the freezer, water gushed out...
The ice maker was squirting a stream of water, Wtf???
I turned off the supply valve.
Water flooded all the lower shelving below the freezer and leaked out the door seal.
I went downstairs to get the shop vac and water had flooded that level too, dang it!
The water was coming through the light fixture in my computer and photographing room, arg!
Took about 4 hours to get it cleaned up.
Waiting to hear from the adjuster now, but we really dodged more damage.
Computer, camera, etc, were not damaged.
I think I will get by with just a new ceiling, but what a pain in the azz.
My son hooked up all the new TV stuff and we watch Jurassic Park in 3D, pretty darn cool.
However, it is becoming readily apparent I am quickly becoming a buggy whip as this new world is leaving me behind.
I remember having to get my butt up off the couch to turn the channel or adjust the TV volume.
Now, you just tell it what to do.
You can say, Find me a fishing show" and it will....mercy.
I don't think I will ever catch up to this world anymore
