***Attention*** I just heard from greylag and he wishes everyone the best of there holidays. He apologizes for not being on and advised me that his 89 year old mom has had a seizure, and is doing her best at recovery. I advised him that he and his whole family, especially his mom will be in our thoughts and prayers. He also said when he can he will be returning and misses everyone.

Oh geez. Sorry to hear this sad news, @Greylag . When it rains it pours.

Sending positive thoughts and love for a quick recovery to a tough lady!!

You know those days when you shouldn't have gotten out of bed? I should have guessed this was one, when I started fixing a faucet, and a small leak in some piping.

Faucet was a royal pain. The pipe was even worse. Cracked bronze fitting. Can't get a replacement today, and trying to mess with it made it worse. Had to clean and solder it shut as a temporary repair...

This new bronze is potable water 'safe', but starts springing leaks in only a few years.

I think I want to go back to carrying it with a bucket!

Damn. Another spell of bad luck, bro. Sorry.

Had the same thing abt a week ago. Small leak under the kitchen sink.

Good luck. Hate projects where nothing goes right. Glad you have enuf wherewithal to have made a quick field expedient fix till you can get the right part.

When you say taxi it sends me back to my NYC taxi driving days. I am in FL but still have my winter clothing for when I travel north. We are going to have a low of 53 here today and to my FL accimated body that feels cold. Hope the taxi ride this morning is a good one!

Taxi drivers in NYC are nuts. You just have some good stories!

Do tell!!!

Happy Monday!!! It snowed and now it has switched to some watery stuff which is, I suspect, Freezing Rain. That's based on how it's collecting on the bare tree limbs. Hmmmm. I'ma not going out in this shit. I may move my truck to the church parking lot. People drive fer-shit here in the rain, and sneaux just makes it worse. Worser. Worserer.

Drivers from that area are the worsterestest. I’m telling ya.

Morning all.

Winter weather. Familial health and life concerns. Monday.

I been off for abt two weeks and am
Actually looking forward to getting back into my work routine. I have tons of meetings lined up for today and a buncha to-dos.

In the other hand it felt like a mini retirement for two weeks and I could get used to that. Except for when I was sick, I wasn’t bored and found shit to do.

Plan for today is my sisters are gonna be w mom today. I will see her after work.

Yesterday was def worse than the day before. But still moments of coherence. My mom and my sisters used to sing all the time so my sisters sang some nice duets to her.

I didn’t really know those songs except for row row row your boat. The. We decided on a trio of White Riot by the Clash! . Once teens, always teens!

Catch yaz all later.

I was delighted back during the Pan-Fried-Demic that we were declared to be essential. I couldn't have afforded to be out of work, and it would have sucked anyway.
