Grrrrr!!!!!!

So...I go over to Sears and pick up the new elliptical machine. This is a big, heavy piece of equipment...and it's disassembled. I get it into my gym/office spend 3 hours putting it together. I'm on the last step when i find out it's broken. I have to put the foot pieces into a certain position so I can attach the hand pieces. As I move the foot piece into position, I hear rattling in the back part by the motor. I take the motor cover off and there is a little electronic box that obviously was broken off. On the bottom of the motor cover, there are several pieces of broken plastic - obviously from the electronic box.

Lisa called Sears. Luckily, they offered to come over with a replacement tomorrow and take this one back. I think they're going to have a hard time getting the new one inside the house and the old one out. But at least they offered to swap it...

Super Bowl
Well...as I expected, Pittsburg took the Super Bowl. To me, it wasn't that good of a game. Full of mistakes and questionable calls. The one call that I don't understand was on the interception that Matt Hasselbeck threw. As the guy is running the ball back, Hasselbeck tackles him by taking out the runner's legs - happens all the time in football. They flag Hasselbeck for blocking below the waist...HUH?! First, he was tackling - not blocking. Second, that call is usually only called when you're blocking low while a teammate is engaged high. Third, I see that tackle made every game that I watch. Did they change the rule before the game?
Anyway, good game for the Steelers. They made less mistakes than the Seahawks...and that touchdown pass from Randal El to Hines Ward on the reverse was just like they draw it up...
How's this for karma...after all the running of the mouths this week, Joey Porter was a non-factor and Jeramy Stevens drops 3 passes...

Part of the Super Bowl happened during the kids' video time... Luckily, I had picture in picture on the TV so they could watch Dora while I watched the game. I'll post pics later...
