Hello, villagers ~
I gave up trying to get through to wm on the phone, and just drove there to see if they had the ss co2 exchange canisters. They were out of stock, but the customer service rep pointed at the case of empties behind her and assured me that she would be sending that box back tomorrow and ordering the refills. She said it usually takes "a week or so" to get the new box. I am hoping that she is correct and they will in fact receive at least 1 more case so I can exchange my 2 canisters. That will last us a couple of months. I will not hope for any more after that because I'm pretty certain that ss is discontinuing the size of machine we have as they have come out with a smaller one they are marketing for "healthy water" rather than for flavors of soda. The new style takes a smaller co2 canister.
In the meantime, today I picked up a few bottles of plain club soda to see if I can get an acceptable taste mixing club soda with the cola syrup and other flavors I have already. Depends on how salty the "low sodium" club soda tastes.
I also searched online for a few minutes for the old-fashioned soda siphon I mentioned. Looks like that type of gadget would take up refrigerator space rather than counter space, so that will need to be factored in. "Seasonal holiday gifts" will appear in the stores any day now, and I don't know if that means the prices will go up or down.
Today's 8x9 list was:
* Run to Wm (done)
* Load of laundry (done)
* Load of dishes (done)
* Finish library book due tomorrow (almost done)
* Trash and recycling bins to the curb
* 1 hour on decluttering project
* 1 hour of sewing
* Watch 1 episode a British mystery or delete it unwatched
The item about the British mystery show is because I'm running out of space on the dvr and there will be a new Father Brown episode tomorrow night that I need to record while I'm at work. Father Brown has been in reruns for many weeks so I'm looking forward to a new one.
Still waiting for word from the roofing company.
