Good old wood grain that was high end at one time. Good to hear it works good.
And more junk.

The old kenmore stuff was built to last a long long time! I miss the wood grain look on stuff like that. Today everything is just stainless or black….no character.
I bought a fridge/freezer dorm fridge for my shop from a guy at work. He said he had been trying and trying to sell it on marketplace and no one wanted it. I paid him 50 bucks for it. It’s 3.2 cuft. It will hold quite a few cans. I keep it stocked with Mountain Dew zero, Pepsi zero, and water. Plus I threw popsicles in the freezer park for the kids

Just a little contact cement should hold that gasket on fine Rog. Bet you would find a use for it if the gasket was repaired.
I had one of those old rounded upright freezers for a lot of years, Lorna. Was probably from the 1950's. When we got our new trailer house in 2006 I had to take it out to the shop for storage. Put it on a dolly to haul it out and got down the steps fine. I dropped one of the dolly wheels off the edge of the sidewalk and I couldn't hang on to it. When it hit the ground, it bent the door badly. Got it stood back up and rolled it into the shop. I worked on that door for a couple of days, but I could not get it to seal again. Refrigeration was still working fine, but I had to scrap it unfortunately.
I always liked the fake woodgrain on things for some reason, Jim---LOL! Even the fake "woody" station wagons!
Doesn't seem anyone wants to buy them used, Aaron. I don't remember what size the one is I got from our daughter, but probably around the same size. Has a decent sized little freezer. I don't drink soft drinks anymore but still do some adult beverages. Keep water bottles I fill in the house in there also. No kids to keep anything cold for anymore. Every now and then an old friend stops by and we have a couple beers.
All those stickers are stuck to magnetic sheet so they can be moved to a new refrigerator when the current one croaks. I have a sticker collection---LOL!
Put a new wick in the kerosene heater today. Let it sit an hour soaking but the igniter still wouldn't fire it up. Will try again tomorrow. A long lighter will do it if needed.

You got that right. We purchased our chest freezer in the late 70’s and it’s still chugging away down in the basement. Was used as a table when my wife was staining trim and a hobby workbench for a few years. I think it’s a Coronado. It was $125 plus tax. Haven’t got a clue why I remember that price.
I’d be hesitant to buy a used fridge off someone I didn’t know…..
It would probably work fine, Rog. I got one out of the scrap trailer at work and it looks and works like new! One of those that the small bottle screws onto, but I got an adapter hose to connect a 20# bottle to it. Picture was before I got the hose.
Thanks, Jim! Free decals! Seems like a lot of automotive stuff nowadays don't give anything extra even if it is free advertising! I used Thrush "Hush" mufflers on my '72 GMC. The sidepipes I had on the '71 Monte Carlo back in the '70's were also Thrush.
Sure wish "engineered obsolescence" would have never become a "thing", Chris! That freezer is paying you back over and over!
Some crackhead may have kept their chemicals in them nowadays I suppose, Aaron.

I wish I knew how many of those little my buddy heaters I have delivered. They seem to work pretty well.
We still have the Buddy Heater too very dependable little heater. We used it when we went camping and a few times for backup heat during a power outage. It has the disposable tanks on each side but I converted it to a 20lb tank when camping. It’s at 20 years old.
Would be interesting to know, Willie! Those folks appreciate every one of them I'm sure!
That thing puts out enough heat to keep my shop office warm but I do notice the fumes off it after awhile.
Got my left eye lasered today. She wouldn't do both eyes the same day dang it! Things are a bit blurry but I can read the PC screen with reading glasses on. Waited 45 minutes to find out they went looking for me in a different waiting room than I was at. Place was so full of people the first two waiting rooms I went by had no seats left! Kept going until I found somewhere to sit. Figured it would be ok since I saw the eye surgeon working in the rooms right beside the waiting room I was at. Other folks there with similar issues as me. Finally a nurse came in and said "There you are!" She found my file picture on the computer and went looking.

I don't know if this monitor has that feature or not, Rog. I just use dark mode all the time on the internet. My sign program doesn't have dark mode so that is where my eyes can get tired, especially if I have to take time to design something from scratch. I try not to spend a lot of time on the computer but sometimes it is inevitable.

What is an easy eye option, is it larger fonts
Doug getting lost at the doctors isn’t good a guy could be there a long time. I recently noticed a problem at my new hobby work bench. I have a laptop about 2’ from where I’m sitting. I wear readers but when I raise my head to look at the laptop it’s blurry. If I use my readers I use at my desktop which is the same situation the laptop looks good until I look down then that’s blurry. It’s obvious I need two different lenses. Do they make bifocals with two different lense areas that close. I wear my readers low on my nose to read but everything looks fine when I look above them except that laptop.
I have two pair of glasses. One pair for the computer with prisms for the main lens and reader bifocals for reading/writing at the desktop. The other pair is for reading only. Your eyes can only adjust to the big change in magnification so fast. I would guess it might be time for a visit to you eye Dr. and let them figure it out. I get along just fine with the main part set for the computer and the bi's for reading. The eye friendly monitor is BIG difference from the old one.
I'm running with nongraduated tri-focals and have no troubles with them. When I had the cataract surgery there was an option for further corrective surgery that could have meant that I'd not need glasses at all. Our medicare covered the cataracts, no charge at all, but the rest would have been called optional and there was a charge for that. I've worn glasses since I was about ten and continuing to wear them didn't matter to me so I kept them.
Why risk an unnecessary surgery just for vanity?
