Halloween Shopping

Home Depot were stocking the shelves with Halloween stuff yesterday. Great stuff to buy before everything on the shelves gets destroyed by delighted children who can't resist yanking it out of boxes or pulling on cables. The skeletons were a disappointment - Target had much better skeletons last year. The outdoor lighting looks great.
I went there with Karen and Christian and we were all jolly exploring new products on the shelves.
Target has only begun to clear shelves to make room for Halloween but they have only put out a little candy so far. The candy includes some rather realistic gummy eyeball ice cube trays.

All of this was done after MonsterMustDie called in some service providers to look at the non-functioning AC at Casa WereMonster. They determined 1. the filters had not been changed since he bought the house and were completely clogged. 2. the capacitor was kaput. Service call and parts cost $210, which I paid for. The fan is working again and two new filters are in the central unit. All is well again with what is probably a temporary fix. Our AC/Heating is a dinosaur that was already past its projected lifespan when we started living here.
