Third Time Is NOT A Charm

I woke up yesterday to slightly warmer temperatures, not that 44 is warmer.  Daytime actually warmed up to 68.  I can deal with that.  It's all due to the cloud cover and the rain forecast for this weekend.  It's okay though ..... I'll be inside watching the Super Bowl!

The third time has NOT been charming.  Early yesterday afternoon was the third appointment made by the installation guy to see if he can cut my cabinets off by half an inch.  You didn't think he would really show up, right?  Neither did I.  He called at 6:30 to say he got a flat tire.  Yeah right!!

It's too bad he's going to lose the sale for Christies in Tucson.  Not that it would have been a really huge sale, so I doubt they really care either.  It's sad that service has become a thing of the past.  I guess I just wasn't charming enough.

Oh he said he would come by today right after lunch, but I'm not holding my breath.  I will probably end up at Lowes this afternoon to purchase an oscillating saw and do the job myself.  While I'm there, I'll order my new fridge and microwave oven.
The third time wasn't a charm for these guys either.  I received an email with this exact wording.

Since I didn't quite believe their excellent use of the English language, I waited until I received the THIRD email before deleting everything.  Sorry guys, even the fifth time won't be a charm for you.

This phone call didn't charm me either.

Company is coming .... it's time to straighten things up and put away Cooper's six balls, two chew toys and his play blanket.  I sure hope they don't mind walking the dog gauntlet just to get in the house.

FYI ... the turkey did NOT taste like bacon.  I really had my hopes up, but alas, it just tasted like turkey.  Kind of tough turkey to boot.  I guess my mistake was following the directions on the package and roasting it at 350 degrees instead of 325 like most I've seen.  I've no doubt however that I will try that bacon thing again!!  Who can resist bacon??

    I am sure the turkey tasted like Turkey, But to be tough and dry was overdone, I use an instant read thermometer to 165 F. I am sure it was tasty though.

      I actually did use a thermometer ... maybe it's not calibrated right. It said 168. Anyway, if you put enough gravy on it, it's not dry at all!! LOL

    I'm sorry to read that the person who trims the cabinets is a no show. This is so aggravating.

    Well if La cabinet man would keep his appointment he could actually make some money to buy some decent tires
    But on a brighter note,,, he must have some technical complicated truck where it takes all day to fix a tire.
    You do have Mexican AAA in that area don’t you ?

      No we don't, but I have to agree ... every guy I've had out to work on stuff has been hispanic. Heck, they are the only ones willing to work around here!!

    If you’re going to keep cooking like that you’re going to have to have Mr C
    Use that shiny red tractor and dig you a burial trench,,, Because in the desert a post hole digger just won’t cut it


    give you a hint a jigsaw or saber saw which are both the same will do a better job

      You are SO right. Shovels don't work very well either. I thought jigsaw, but didn't think I could do a straight cut. I have good news though.

    As always and enjoyable read. Good luck with cutting the half inch off your cabinets. I keep thinking when the customer service is bad it must be nice to be independently wealthy and not need the business.
