archersangeltoday my dad decided he wanted some chicken noodle soup. so he opened a can, dumped it on a bowl & put it in the microwave to heat up. as it started up (i was there talking to him about something) a strange grinding/crackling noise could be heard, followed by gray smoke coming out from the bottom of the machine. i squawked: "THERE'S SMOKE!! TURN IT OFF!!" the motor bit the dust, as far as we can tell. (it was just a matter of time, the thing was bought in the early 1990s) my dad & i hauled it outside after things cleared up because of the smell of the smoke. (monday thing #1)
dad went on to make the soup in a pot on the stove & when he went to pick up the bag of oyster crackers, it split down the side & dad had to put the extra in another bowl (monday thing #2)
this afternoon we checked out replacements at target, sear & lowes. and found one at target that we liked. a nice large (2.2 cu. ft.) one. the old one was huge (probably closer to 3.0 cu. ft.) and, if i recall from the manual, could cook a good sized ham or turkey. not that we ever did. we probably should have waited until tomorrow to get it, since it was still monday & all.
when my brother got home he found a scratch on the back of his left leg that he didn't recall getting. it's over an inch long, but not too bad as far as scratches go. (mondy thing #3)
