Shooting the Breeze 17-19

I've been pleasantly surprised that T mobile customer services appears to be located in the USA, or they have people with American accents. Either way, no complaints with their customer service.
Productive morning. 8:00 AM medical appointment, in and out quickly, a trip to Lowe's for some house stuff, a stop at the Post Office, a stop at the Jewelry store to get my wedding band and another ring checked. The other ring needs a little re-tipping of the center ruby stone.
Home by 9:30. The owner of the jewelry store told me I had an early start on my errands. I told him he was my last errand!
The sun is out, but even at almost 60 degrees, it feels cool. I need to find somewhere to spend some time outdoors later. Lots of places will be wet due to rain last night.

Productive morning as well. Got up at 8:30, coffee, watched some news, and it's 10:45 . . time for some cereal.

I’ve got a NyQuil hangover. Started feeling sick last night woke up at one a.m. and downed some NyQuil which helped me sleep but now I’m in the fog. Was planning to detail the S today but think I will hold off.

Airplane germs? You are the fourth person I know with recent travel who ended up not well upon return.
Good customer service from Sara Lee Breads today. I buy a 45 calorie per slice bread that they make. It's not inexpensive, but it's tasty, whole grain and all that. I've had a couple loaves now where the slices are about twice as thick as normal. I'm thinking those slices can't be 45 calories. So, for the heck of it I contacted them on line. Took another look at the bread and instead of 26 slices, we had about 18. So, not quite 45 calories, and that means some machine somewhere is slicing them incorrectly. It was at least the second loaf we had with thicker slices. They appreciated me contacting them, some free coupons coming my way. I wasn't calling them to biatch, but if their product says 45 calories per slice, I'd assume they want that to be correct.
Good customer service #2 today. Kohler. I prefer single lever faucets, and had a Kohler faucet installed in the kitchen about four years ago as a replacement. The water flow has really diminished. The faucet is discontinued (of course), however, I thought there might be a cartridge or something else that can be switched out as mineral build up can impede flow. I sent them an email with faucet Model #. It pays to keep paperwork. They responded they had shipped a cartridge to me at no cost.
Good customer service #3. I had issue with my older Canon camera. Sent it out for a repair. Came back, looked good and paperwork said they checked functions, but I still had sensor dust. Disclosure I had had it "cleaned" locally but there were still issues which I didn't know I still had until I used it after Canon replaced a viewfinder part. I called them and asked about it. Was told the camera should have had all functions checked. I sent it back to them and they cleaned the sensor. No shipping charge to me either way and no charge for the work.
Also had good customer service at Lowe's getting a window shade cut, but I did have to check myself out, using scanner for items.....two points lost for that. And lastly the jeweler who is repairing one of my rings, also checked a ring that I wear that was my Mom's. I thought it looked rather fragile/thin in the band portion. He told me it still had plenty of "meat" to it, so no need to spend $ adding gold to it.
I guess it's been a good day for me.

Nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee lol!
My Mom used to get the low cal. bread but it wasn’t expensive back then.
Could be airplane germs there was a little girl sitting across the aisle from me who was coughing and not covering her mouth. Add in the temperature changes and I’ve been a bit stressed overloaded with things to do which a lot of times makes me end up getting sick. I think once the NyQuil gets out of my system I will be relatively fine. I have tons of bills that come due in the spring and always a lot to do but I have been making progress.

You can' make this stuff up . . .
“The woman, whom police nicknamed the "Rooftop Ninja," lived inside the store sign for about a year, Warren said. Inside her dwelling, she had a mini desk, flooring, a pantry of food and even a houseplant.”

In the summer between high school and collage my buddy and I would bicycle the 80-100 miles down to the cape.
The first stop would be Woods Hole home of the Wood's Hole oceanographic institute.
Being summer they would have all gone out to sea. They have these half Buckminster fullerene style tents pavilion things.
I think they were like winter greenhouses for fish pools but in the summer they were empty.
We made it a habit of staying there. Nice and dry, perfect for camping. I'm sure Family Fare lady felt the same.

You could ‘split the lanes’ on your bikes going across the Bourne Bridge at least.
