Last night, as we finished preparing a dinner of Poor Man's Lobster, sweet potato rounds, and home-grown broccolini, a high pitched alarm sounded in the kitchen. It wasn't the smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, or anything else obvious, but I finally figured out it was my flood sensor under the kitchen sink. I'd poured the hot water from boiling the frozen tilapia for Poor Man's Lobster down the sink and it had flooded the undercabinet. I spent hours today tearing apart my garbage disposal plumbing and sink flángé and re-applying the plumbers putty on the flángé to prevent further leaks, along with a bit of cleaning. I was looking for a replacement flángé as mine still says Sears Kenmore on it and I'd started to strip the three screws trying to remove the flángé before I found the retaining ring, but I ended up reusing the old flángé. As I surveyed my work I noticed a brand new Moen flángé in the pile of things I pulled out from under the sink that I could have used.

Job done, I'm really glad I picked up the Flood Buzz Pro sensors, they're not wireless or smart or anything, but they do send out a high pitched tone when they detect water along with a fitted Xtreme Mats Waterproof Under Sink Mat which protects the wood from flooding.

Edited: seriously, you can't say ****?

In the area of Murfreesboro/Rutherford County, a recently purchased and transported pet zebra escaped his new owner's pasture within 24 hours and has been on the run for over a week now. Sherrif's department and volunteers have not been able to keep track of him, but recent reports indicate they may have eyes on him now. The memes are plentiful but terrible. Mostly AI generated crap. But the interested locals have dubbed him Ed, and hopefully he doesn't get hit and killed by a car like the bear who wandered too far outside of his normal range and ended up running scared among too many humans in middle TN.

Watching video shorts and somehow, the algorithm has this idea that I like the German Shorthair Pointers. (That would be GSP for @OutdoorsSmoke_21191)
And the videos often point out how these dogs have great energy and no boundaries. So this one video features clips of German Shorthair Pointers on top of the dining room tables and kitchen countertops, counter surfing, and the selected music is The Beach Boys, Surfin USA.

"If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californ-i-a
You'd see them wearing their baggies <----(Shorts I have always assumed)
********** sandals too <------(What kind of sandals?)
A bushy bushy blond hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A"

And I realized that I'd heard this song all my life and
never really could hear what kind of sandals they are saying.
I Googled it.

Huarache. Huarache sandals.

Now I know. Hippie sandals.

I'm beginning to think there is lot of post attachment syndrome lately.

Venomous.

Also, the books were cooked to come up with a figure to say most of the guns come from the U.S. The truth is that the majority of traces PERFORMED BY THE ATF traced back to U.S. gun manufacturers. This was easy smoke and mirrors on the gun-control industry's part. If they only contact the ATF to trace the guns made in the U.S. but not the guns recovered that were made in Austria, Germany, China, Russia or the middle-east, guess what? You get mostly guns made in the U.S. Democrats keep proving how low they will go to push civilian disarmament. Sleazy.
