Dad Got a New Thermostat

Oh boy! Here we go. Brain tumor aside, my busy 78 year old dad is feeling good these days. He just called me in a snit. He had spent some 10 hours trying to figure out how to fix a carpet cleaner. The problem is, he spent the entire day hunched over the machine on the garage floor. Needless to say, the machine is still broken and dad can hardly sit he is so sore!

So, he said he was taking a break from fixing the carpet cleaner.:) Currently, he is wrestling with a new thermostat. Actually, this is the second one. He couldn't get the first one to work and exchanged it for this new one and after about 12 hours of touching the screen (Yep! He went with the high tech model!) when he sets the A/C to 72 degrees, it changes itself to 62 degrees. Then, when he changes the heater to 75 degrees (he likes it warm), it changes itself to 85 degrees.

Dad is so frustrated and sore right now that he doesn't know which end is up. He's so funny!:{
