Something freaky is happening in the mechanosphere, the world of operating things.
That’s a neologism cuz, you know, that’s just how I get down.
First, the temperature gauge on my gooseneck kettle broke. So, I did what any penny pinching dad would do, I looked on Craigslist for a discounted replacement.
And then Offer Up. Then EBAY. Then Amazon.
And then spent $11 on a replacement that was no replacement at all.
But I might’ve just jump started my home brew beer kit with that one.
If that wasn’t enough to throw my mornings into disarray, my toaster shorted on me. That toaster gave us a good 19 years, too. Damn it.
Target and Walmart are a whole 1.4 miles away and until I work up enough energy to go there, this’ll have to do:
The bright side, of course, is that I get to enjoy the locally roasted coffee from the homie, Brian Gomez at The Roasted Bean.
