My dad has consistently been a fairly stubborn person.
However, as time & technology has passed him by, he’s gotten even more stubborn.
I prefer the fact that now every modern thing is a relaxing thing. But he tends to think that old remedies will work on modern problems. Mom & dad finally moved closer to us. They have a nice little condo with great quality heating & air. Mom prefers the weather down here as she was so over all the snow, ice & frosty of up north. My dad is pretty fond of the region as well except when it comes to summer. He tells myself and others quite often just how much he hates the summer time heat & he’d rather be up north for the summer. Basically, from June through September, he stays inside the air conditioner of the condo. I’ve tried to coax him outside for some golf early in the days but he’ll hardly leave the Heating & A/C cooling even for that. The other day, when my assistant told myself and others my mom was on the line, I was sure that dad was dead or in the hospital. Instead, he was going to attempt a service on the air conditioner which he felt wasn’t working well enough. I told my mom to stall him, find the Heating & A/C warranty & I’d be there instantaneously. When I got there, dad had pulled together some tools & a manual on air conditioner from the 69’s. Mom handed myself and others the Heating & A/C warranty. I then began to read aloud the area about the warranty being void if anyone but an Heating & A/C professionals attempted a repair. That stopped him as warranties are prefer gold to him.
