Seems like every time I go away and subsequently return home, something happens. An earlier venture cost me dearly in the form of a new washer and dryer. Wasn't too terribly upset, since the retired set lasted 14 years, with only one repair. This past outing, however.........takes the cake......and it didn't cost a dime.
Got home, and noticed a stench in the kitchen. Awful! Was wondering if Renea tried to make cabbage rolls again, and got confused as to the difference between tsp and tbs. It's happened. No, not this time. Our young CVO Boxer, Springer, has been giving the fridge a wide berth lately. Noticed it this morning especially. Got up from here to go figure a method to get a stranded Thumper off a broken jack, when he took a different route to the garage. I took my usual route........right past the fridge..........and the stench hit me hard. Compressor was running, so the amplification was exponential. Understand, the odor has been very strong sometimes, yet not so strong others. Now I know why. So I pull the fridge out, take off the access panel, and this is what I found. Actually, he was behind the fan bulkhead with his tail sticking out. Figure he was living in there, but that one time he crept by the fan, the compressor kicked on and wacked him. Yuck!
