Yes I am DHL and if you want to know it stand for David Harold Lindemann. Harold is my father’s first name, but was called Bud all his life.
OK back to another perfectly good day for me. As always it started great. I couldn’t walk to day, but I did work out and used the big ball. Then off to get Micki a fountain Diet Coke. I got Back Home and then breakfast
.
You can read about my famous breakfast on my blog, http://happinesswithwealth.com. You’ll have to look back a few days.
Now it is time for what made this day special. Micki and I have matching La-Z-Boy chairs and if ever let anyone know she would kill me, not literally of course. Here is what happened. The handle that lifts up the leg rest broke. Being a mechanical guy I was going to fix it. The part that broke off had be laying on my dress for weeks if not months
Micki tried to throw it out several time, but I stopped her because I was going to repair it.
In the old day I would have had one of our tool makers in the plant make me a new one, which might have cost hundreds of dollars but those days are over. Noa DHL was going to have to get the job done.
The reason it took so long to get started was I wasn’t sure how I was going to go about the repair. Then the light came on, why fix it just buy one.
I was going to drive to a La-Z-Boy store and purchase one. Then Micki spoke up and said why don’t look up the phone number and see if they have any.
I turn on the computer and go to Google.com and look up La-Z-Boy stores in our area. I find one and make the call, but all I got was an answering system. So I did the next best thing and take Micki out to lunch near the closed La-Z-Boy outlet.
It was a rainy day and not as warm as it should be in South Florida, but I braved it and Micki and I were on our way. Of course the La-Z-Boy store was on the opposite side of the street so I made a U-turn (it was a legal U-turn) and pulled right by the front door. In my exercise program I should have part at the back of the lot, but they only had one role and the only open spot was by the front door.
I walked in not knowing if I would be successful, but I was giving it my best shot. I walked up to the main counter that was at the back of the store. Guess what, there was a salesman there. However, he was taking care of someone and told me he would be with me next.
He was right; I was taken next because I was the only other person in the store. Now I told him my dilemma. He didn’t even flinch, but asked me how old was the chair and I told him. Then he said he would be right back and as a man of his word he was. But the great part is he was holding a handle that would work on my chair and what was ever better he said “take it it’s free” You can’t beat that
My chair now works GREAT thanks to L-Z-Boy giving me the handle. Thanks L-Z-Boy.
Happiness with wealth to you
