Down-sizing at MacKenzie Acres

This has been quite an eventful morning. Last night I decided to have a  Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich.  I told Joe it seemed too soft, he checked the freezer and discovered it was dead.
He wanted to find his multi-meter to check it out but it was out  in the building. So, we got a lantern,
wandered   across the  field to the building but the multi-meter was not  found. I'm usually good at finding things but since I didn't know what it looked like it was difficult.
Our freezer is at least 56 years old  we bought it used)  so we can't complain. Joe mentioned seeing a smaller one at Costco and thought we should go buy it. First we had to move the big freezer. I can't believe we actually moved it. We are certifiable!
We purchased it at Costco drove home. Joe drove to the building and  put a ramp in the truck. He drove down  the hill to the door of our downstairs. We slid the freezer down the ramp and managed to push the freezer into the basement.  It is now in place after lifting it out of its styrofoam base . Such fun!
We are still speaking!


                                This is our old freezer. 21 cubic feet
 
 
This is our new one. 7.1 cubic feet
