A warmer wake-up temperature of 12°C. We appeared to have had a fair bit of rain overnight judging by the ponds, but I guess we slept right through it. For the eagle eyed among you, this opening sentence is almost a copy of yesterday’s with the exception of the temperature and the size of water deposits on the ground! We had a thunder storm round about bed time last night, and rain throughout the night.
Lyn decided that it was window cleaning (inside) day, so I took all the screens out and Lyn did the cleaning. I went over to the office to leave one of our empty propane tanks to be filled, and also pick up the mail. After that was done we did our usual morning stuff. The rain continued on and off for most of the day, so it was not an outdoor day.
By mid afternoon we both decided it was time to get out, so we headed out to Sears. There was a reason for this destination; in the mail this morning I received 2 batteries from Sears for my electric drill. As the correct size wasn’t known when I ordered the battery, two different ones were sent and then the incorrect one could be returned “Hassle Free” to the local Sears store. At the Sears store I gave them the battery and asked for a refund, no problem, can we have your drivers licence number? Gave it to them, computer wouldn’t accept it, computer only accepts american drivers licence, sorry can’t give you a refund. I explained I didn’t need a drivers licence to buy a battery, so why would I need one to return it? Essentially the answer was “Because the computer says so”, we went round and round with this until one of the girls in the store said “Use my driving licence”, this got us to the next step. “What gift card would you like the money refunded to?” I didn’t want a gift card, I don’t shop at Sears USA that often, I wanted the money back on my credit card, as per their “Hassle Free Return Policy”. “No can do” was the response, “Why not” was the retort, “Because the computer says so”. “Forget it” say I, and I gathered up the battery and my receipt and headed to the door. The look on the clerks face was saying “but you can’t do that, I’ve got all this stuff in the computer”, tough! Time for an e-mail to Sears Hassle Free Returns department methinks.
When we got back from the adventure the rain had let up, so headed out for a walk around the resort, guess what happened when we got to the furthest point from the trailer….. answers on a postcard please.
