At work yesterday, a freind emails and says that the lady across the street is having a garage sale and they have a Beer Miester, $150. Now, she didn't know this but I have been looking for one for a while, waiting for the right deal. She lives in a nice neighborhood, so I assume that it will be well cared for, I ask her, "how does it look?". Her response, "fine from here". I tell her to ask the lady to hold it, I will buy it. After work I go to pay and pick it up.
O DEER LOWERED!!!
This thing must have been stored in a musty basement, it stinks, and it's rusty as heck. So pretty much since I have gotten home I have been sanding grinding and stripping all the paint and rust off this thing, luckily it seems to be mostly surface rust, a couple of really small point where it goes through. It has this antiqued black paint on it, and holy god it is a pain to get off. I haven't had the nerve yet to plug it in and see if the fridge part works. I should go back and charge them for selling such a messed up thing. I can't believe they don't make those out of aluminum... It's even rusty inside! Crap I tell ya. Whine is over, the cheese... well, at least yall can't smell it, I'll have to let ya know later on the beer.
I don't blame the freind, she was far enough away from it, and what the hell do girls know about beer meisters anyway...
