This morning I went to Sears and purchased the new washing machine. It was off sale but they gave me the sale price because they still had the sign up. Had some trouble with the Schwab card because it was refused. Called Schwab and got them to do an authorization over the phone for $805, the price of the machine including tax and delivery. I get the delivery charge back in the form of a rebate which is going to be a Mastercard debit card. Oh well. Took a bike ride around Stoneybrook and stopped in to talk to the realtor about rentals. I wanted their take on a new refrigerator without water and ice on the door. they thought it was OK.
