Deep Freeze and a Bison

Last week my fridge started to leak. In every sense of the word, about once a day, it would wee out some water from underneath the doors. Strange, it was, to have water start pouring out, like a slightly open sink tap, out from the freezer.

After some detective work, it was discovered that the water was coming from the back of the freezer, from a 6x6 grated hole. Who knew that was there? Not me and certainly not anyone else, but there it was; Wet and gushy.

So a call was made to the Maytag Man and on Tuesday he arrived. A weird fellow, about 50 years in age, and twangin' an Ohio accent that was often hard to understand.

After calling my Fridge a beauty darlin' (really, he did), he took one look at the hole and said "Ah ye froz up in the back ther!". Double-blink-pause, then respond.

"Ok. So....fix it?"

"Nah nuthin I can do. Got to turn it all off for two days!. Let'er thaw. Rid the ice n water. You'll be good affer that!".

Fuck. Two days? And what about my food? Well, that was enough of an excuse for my Father, who has been dying to invest in a Deep Freezer, to go get one. So this morning it arrived and now there's a buzzing white box in my garage awaiting to be fed my freezer contents. I'm thinking tomorrow I'll pack it and start the thawing process. Should be loads of wet and wild fun. Especially since the fridge sits on a hardwood floor, making sure that stays dry will be the constant battle.

Now, about this Bison thing:
