IT DOESN'T WORK

My last blog was talking about fixing an ice machine -- pointing out the plug should be attached to the wall.  I would like to also add that when your car won't start -- MAKE SURE THE CAR IS IN PARK.  If you can't take the key out of the ignition--MAKE SURE THE CAR IS IN PARK.  Anyone have any other ideas to add?  It may sound like common sense but when a person is frustrated or mad, no one has common sense.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!

We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and have a great New Year.  If you are traveling, please be safe -- there are many people who love you and want you to be well and happy even if it means being late.  This is my crew, it's a couple of years old but everyone is in it.  New picture to follow.

Sorry - slow on blog

Christmas is crazy. Sorry my blogging is a little off, New Years resolution -- work on my blog on a regular basis.

ICE MACHINE BROKEN

Bryant has started working for my brothers' waterstore "WATERMART".  A great place to buy wonderful clean water.

He went in and found the ice machine broken.  - by the way, you need great clean ice to go with your clean water!!  He took in upon himself to fix the machine, he is so great at repairs.  The following is how he fixed it:

Bry:  " I went over to the machine to look at it and see if I could fix it.  The first thing I did was try to turn it on, I found the machine was not plugged in so I plugged it in.  The ice maker turned on :).  I was looking to see how the water flows and such and saw that the water to the machine had been turned off... I turned it on.  Lo and behold--- it worked."

Moral of the story---- if an appliance stops working do some simple steps before you call in a repairman.
1.  Check power source.  Is the breaker popped, is it plugged in?
2.  Check other connections to the machine.

Now for my story ---  I spent $65 in a service fee to have someone come fix my dryer, he went to the breaker box, flipped the switch and --- It worked.  Go figure.

And now the reason behind this post is... Carol and I started a weight loss program in Oct. 2011.the most recent pictures are from mid December 2011. For those of you who know me and may be worried that I am so thin, I am fine , I have not felt this good in years and I have been cleared by my doctor. We are very proud of our result but still have a ways to go to reach our goals. I hope you can appreciate our hard work and give us your love and support. Thank you all for being in our lives, we love you all and hope we will see you soon. Thank You, Phil and Carol

Another project finally finished.

My son is an awesome repairman...see the Before photos and compare the after photos. This is a really great job. Well done Bry!!!
