Shut the Thermador! | still more additions
Highlights: I got up at five and went to Home Depot by 5.30 only to find they don't open until seven on Sundays. All good. I returned home and went back in 40min and waited a few min before going in and securing the truck. Lauren and I went to Elk Grove. We invited Tommy, but he passed on it. Once there, we decided, based on the seller's concerns and experience, not to try and transport it upright. We hauled it flat. Once back home, Tommy and Jen helped, and it's in the garage now. It'll sit unplugged until next Saturday after Lauren's move is done. We'll plug it in Saturday and let it run overnight, confirm all is functional and move it into the house. I need to get the hardware to secure it in the meantime. Lauren ran to Rasputin with me, and along with a few 'better copies' of records, I already found I snagged a couple more. We played them while I addressed some household tasks. Wendy came by to visit and ended up staying for hours, chatting with Jen and sharing a Martin Ranch Syrah. It was a pleasant evening after a pleasant day and I'm feeling positive about the week ahead. It'll be a long one but rewarding.
