• We have/had a freezer that kept going down. Defrost coils kept burning out, wiring problems, fans going bad and other things. All told between repairs and lost product costs, we’ve probably spent twice what the freezer cost after the initial purchase.
• Today that freezer was removed by me and various others. John helped when he could, Jack stopped by for a paper and helped for a bit, and then Andy came over for the last portion of the removal. Using common tools that are versions of the wheel, lever and fulcrum, we removed this very heavy freezer to the parking lot where I loaded it on my trailer with the tractor.
• Andy told me I was f***ing crazy and there was no way this should have worked. I told him it’s all about working smart. I didn’t bother to tell him that I’ve done all this before with larger units.
• It’s now sitting on my trailer waiting for its final disposition. Someone may buy it for $750, others want to take it off my hands for scrap, and Ann McGrath wants to use it to grow spouts. I’m hoping for the $750.
• Once that was done I moved the Pepsi cooler to where the freezer was and brought a freezer from the back room out front for temporary use selling ice cream and pizzas.

You can’t wake someone that’s pretending to be asleep.
