Rantings Diversified

I have been shopping lately. Not that I have been haunting the stores and malls of America but instead I have been thinking of making some purchases. I’m not a big shopping kind of guy. I go to a store, enter, get what I want and leave. I only store I enjoy lingering in is a grocery store. I think this comes from the fact that my father did the grocery shopping when I was a kid and I have fond memories of shopping with my dad.
This interwebical thing is a great tool to aid me in my non-shopping. I have already decided on which home gym to purchase. It’s the Weider Pro 3750, if you’re keeping score at home. It’s exactly like my last one. I have looked into the Bowflex things and even entertained the idea of not buying one but instead joining a gym. Luckily that last one was fleeting. The Bowflex contraptions are too expensive and I would think the big rubber bands would wear out. So it’s the two station Weider for me.
The other thing I have been shopping for is a stove, an electrical one to be precise. My current stove was in my house when I bought it and is probably about 20 years old. It kinda’ gets hot, if you wait long enough. Anyways from day one I wanted to replace it. It’s time has come. I found a nice new one on sale at Home Depot dot com. The only problem I have is that I’m not a Tony Stewart fan. It is a GE model and has a flat glass/ceramic top and a huge window into the oven. It’s got all the electronical controls and timers and bells and whistles. A couple of my sisters want me to go drive around and to some of the local appliance stores and see what they have to offer. I’m not adverse to this because I would rather give my duckets to a local company than to a big box store. Oh cripes(!) I think I just talked myself into going shopping. How did that happen? After I get released from the soul sucking monster on Monday I’m going to pop over to Rozman Brothers and see what they have in the way of stoves. Then I might take a roundabout way home and stop by Harris TV and Appliances. That is where I bought my TV 12 years ago.
As for right now, I’m off to Wegmans, aka Gods gift to grocery stores.
Mmmmmmmmm, Wegmans!
