We visited New Bern a couple of times before. However, each time we come back we find new things to like that we didn't notice before. This time it was Mitchell Hardware store. It is a throw back to the 20th century style of hardware stores and a pleasure to visit. Unfortunately, few stores like Mitchell's remain.
Our task for today is to get the refrigerator repaired. We had a date set with Bert. Bert is a local expert recommended to us. So far no Bert. I haven't been able to get him by phone either. Oh well, there's still 4 more hours in the working day.
Tonight we're going to have dinner with our friends Richard and Penny on Viking Rose. They spent the entire winter here in New Bern. We must admit, between what Les told us about this area and the nice things Richard said about this area, it sounds very attractive to spend a winter season here. Will that ever happen? Never say never.

Yeah, I miss the old style hardware stores. Remember Wallace Armer on Erie Blvd? If they didn't have it they could order it for you. If they couldn't order it, it didn't exist. And that cool trolley system they stuck the money in. That was one of my favorite places.

I had Ron from Marine Tech make a temporary repair on our old Adler Barber refrigeration unit. He told me not to bother with any more repairs as my unit was pretty much toast.
His repair lasted for a few weeks like he said it would and I ripped the whole thing out and replaced it while we were in Washington, DC.
His number was 252 675 1244. He was in the Oriental area and showed up on his way home from work on the day I called so we didn't lose everything in the fridge.
Good luck,
