Bustednuckles

I got home from work and the Wifely Unit made a half snotty comment about her needing to get into the little chest freezer I bought in the middle of the Scamdemic.

The sarcasm was well deserved because while I was out there re-arranging shit a couple weeks ago the top of it had turned into a Catch All for a bunch of empty boxes and some other shit,

On top of that, I had moved a bunch of boxes into the little pathway I kept open to get into the thing also so there was no way she was going to get into it.

So I go out there, move a bunch of shit, flip open the lid and OH MY FUCKING GOD.

Sure as hell, the miserable Chineseium Piece of Shit had died sometime in the not too distant past and everything in it was fucked.

I mean it smelled pretty bad but it must not have been too long ago that it croaked because it could have been much, much worse.

I have experienced that in the past, where it’s so bad that you duct tape the fucker shut, wrap several chains around it to make DAMN SURE it won’t open up and drag the whole shootin’ match out into the Toolies to open it up so it won’t kill people like a Biological Weapon.

Three inches of juice in the bottom and about three hundred Biden Bucks worth of steaks floating in it

Fuck me.

So I opened the garage door, grabbed a box of Yard Debris bags and started in emptying the fucker out.

Of course the very first bag snagged on something trying to get out with it and it trailed a bunch of that funky juice all the way from one end of the garage to the other.

So now I have 3 bags of rotten meat and some really dead Frozen Dinners sitting in the back of my truck and I have the extremely envious job of moving a shit ton of stuff out to make a pathway wide enough to roll that bitch outside some time this weekend.

I’m gonna have to call around and see if my son or a buddy can come help me get the thing into the back of my truck so I can haul it off next week. She said she was sorry she even mentioned in but I told her I was really glad she did!

It could have been so, so much worse and I don’t even want to contemplate just how much worse it could have been.

Of course we then had the obligatory conversation about how you can’t buy any fucking thing worth a damn anymore and swapped stories about the freezers and refrigerators our Parents and Grandparents had.

That meme is 100% spot on true, I bought it in 2022 and it died 2years later.

I distinctly remember the old GE chest freezer my Grandmother had sitting in the back laundry room of her old house that was there for at least forty five years that I know of and was still going strong the day she had to move out so they could tear the place down and park a new Double Wide on the lot.

We have decided that we aren’t going to replace the damn thing at this point, it was something I bought when all the lock down and supply chain bullshit was going on and you couldn’t find one for love nor money.

I caught hell from her for over a year saying we didn’t need it.

Somehow that tune got changed over time and she was using it on a regular basis but at this point I’m not going to run out and get another one.

It’s going to be enough work to get rid of this piece of shit now.
