Friday Funnies: Which is Easier? Replacing a Watch Battery or an Icemaker?
Posted by Speaking from the Heart at Friday, February 19, 2010
Jeff favorite motto is "if something is broken and it can be fixed, why replace it?". It was no surprise to me when his watch battery died, he went to Walmart to replace it. The guy behind the jewelry counter said he was not authorize to change out watch batteries.
If it were me, I would have brought a new $16.00 digital watch to avoid the trouble driving around town looking for a jeweler who would replace the battery for me. Not Jeff, he decided to purchase the battery and do it himself. When we returned home, he replaced the battery and the watch went "bonkers". After many failed attempts, Jeff gave up and brought himself a new watch.
Our icemaker was producing ice nonstop. Not only that, it had a small leak. Once a week, I had to use my heat gun (hair dryer) to melt chunks of ice. If I went a week without it, I had a 3" block of ice that I had to chip away. Tired of this repetitous chore, I gave up and allowed the ice cubes to overflow to the point the machine wasn't producing anymore ice. At this point, Jeff decided to fix/replace the icemaker. After finding the kit at Lowes, he took on the task of "do-it-yourself" and saved on the repair bill.
LOL, Jeff can fix a icemaker, but unable to fix his watch !!!
