got a call at 2:00 that the basement water alarm was sounding in the main house, back now after replacing it (it is always the float relay that fails). Is it some kind of cosmic law that these things happen at nighttime on a weekend in the plumbing world?
Hate being stupid. Left the bed light on in the truck last night after pumping heating oil and killed the battery. It’s been on the charger for 2 hours; still no start. Great way to impress the new boss…..
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Being a great procrastinator, I spent the afternoon clearing leaves from the north and east sides of the house and fences. Still need to do the yard, but since it's supposed to rain tonight/tomorrow I'll probably get back on it in a couple of weeks.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Why is it, that when my alarm goes off at 7am and I hit the snooze I can fall into a deep and dreamy sleep for the ten minutes of the snooze timer but I was wide awake and unable to sleep for the hour and a half before the alarm went off at 7am? Confound it!
I got out of the shower early this afternoon, only to find out my wife had started the laundry, and there were no towels in the bathroom. A good shower spoiled.
@silvermouse, I usually do the laundry, or at least start it, but I got into something else late morning, so she started it. I almost turned the shower back on to re-warm myself while waiting for a towel!

My happy place
fatigued and it's nasty sleety windy outside, working on the NYT Acrosstic puzzle.
Walls finally mudded
Looks good! I do all of my own home remodeling, and spackling is the worst aspect of it. No matter hard I try, there's always lines and flaws in it.
That's exactly why I spray mud heavy and I mean heavy
Heavy doesn't help me!
I like the look of nonprofessional plaster work, the messier the better.
Orange peel is your friend.
Paint covers a multitude of sins!
The catnip problem is getting out of control

They're designed to do that.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
Atleast it wasn't actually water in the basement
So icy up here I went to work drove an hour one way and back roads are so icy had to turn around and go back to shop.
So I'm done early
Our roads aren't icy. You could've come down here for a smoke.
I would have much rather....

Hey, it shows him that you have the ability to fix a problem.
Even if you caused it 😂

Textured almost done with this stupid little project
Ended up pulling one of the boat batteries and jump starting it off of that.

Again, polyticks don’t enter into it.

I suppose setting your alarm for 6:00 won't help.

Spoiled by expectation, make the most of the towel shortage somehow. I do the laundry so that never happens to me, lol.
