You know you're a geezer when.......................

[penner]

A couple summers ago I was following a pick-up in stop and go traffic through Cole Harbour ,N.S. On his ball hitch he had a rubber bass and every time he braked the fishes tail would flap. Ended up beside the Guy at a set of lights and we both had windows down and I said" I like the fish on your hitch". The Guy , probably early 20's , replied with a chuckle " thanks a lot old timer!" Looked at my Wife and said "who was he talking to?" I don't know how close an "old timer" is to a "geezer" but I must be getting close !!

A true story..............

You know you're a geezer when your 5 year old electric clothes dryer stops working. This issue is a stuck couple dollar relay - non replaceable - on a sealed control board. You look for a replacement control board ($175) and find it is discontinued with no cross reference to another part. It is out of stock, not available anywhere. No replacement part is available for a near new dryer. So you start telling everyone, even folks on Wander the West, never never ever buy a Samsung clothes dryer. Don't do it.

I've found this solution. Take the dryer apart. Hit the relay with a hammer 5 or 6 times. Reassemble the dryer. It will work for about two months. Repeat.

I know someone (not to be named, but she is often referred to around here as “The Boss of Me”, who says the same thing about Electrolux. Next washer/dryer set will be made in America, metal not plastic, simple not complex, SpeedQueens made for commercial use.

Ah the proverbial hammer solution! My dad who hated fixing stuff ( opposite to me) told me as a kid “ if it can’t be fixed with a hammer or an oil can, it’s not worth fixing”….. that said I also recall my mom (who was a nurse) got her dress back zipper stuck, and asked for my dad to fix it…. Next thing I saw was my dad chasing my mom with an oil can and hammer! Ha!

BTW …. My friend also refers to his wife as SWMBO (she who must be obeyed)

Don't piss off old people.
The older we get
the less 'life in prison' is a deterrent.

Although delightful, I cannot post that sign here at the "Ski Rack". I scowl at the neighbors. No reason to talk with them as they believe they already know everything..............

.............such is geezerdom.

The problem with know-it-alls is that they won't listen to those of us who do know it all.
