Stove Triumph!

The new stove is installed, and it does not create a sooty mess on the bottom of our pans! The oven is working, it even burns a few degrees cooler than where you set it. The old stove has been removed, but was not wanted by the first interested party afterall, so it sits. We won't let it sit for long - it's off to the local junk man, Willie, this weekend if it is still around.
Once, we were visiting Willie at his rusted and mangled compound of ... well, junk. We were asking him what we could and couldn't bring to him, what he might find useful. He can take most anything, pick it apart, and sell the metal and scrap what not to make a living. Charley kept asking him what kind of stuff he didn't want, because "we don't want to just bring you junk" To which Willie replied "Junk? I like junk." That solves that problem. I guess he didn't want us passing judgement on something as junk that he might actually find useful, even if just to further decorate his yard.
Anyway, hooray for the stove! I want to bake some cupcakes in celebration, just in time for Charley's birthday coming up in a few weeks. It's a big one - 5-0!
