Eastern South Dakota is very pretty with hills, rivers, and trees.

um... that's because those are from the control center... it sits above the fridge, but we had to remove it for cleaning & to get fridge out... we saved cabinet to use when we modify fridge area (cuz it's vintage & groovy)... so hence lots of wires

it's quite possible the wire work was a re-do from a previous owner... but I dunno since I've not seen this part naked before this... most of the lights work (crazy since they are orig) but the fridge was shot... so out it went

you can see them in this pick... kind of above/behind fridge... they are still attached to the control unit (we didn't remove/detach them)

I'll be dreaming about finishing the floor so we can put the bed back so we don't have to crash on the floor anymore
