Chuck, the “Be prepared” mantra of the Boy Sprouts cannot be ignored. You never know when you’ll be called to employ household items in defense of your person or honor.

 

No offense wooders....but here I sit reading this, the Indy 500 on the tv.... and suddenly it's about half hour later, the race is almost done. Yes, I fell asleep reading this thread! Don't wanna say you guys are boring, but.......


oh yeah..... Castroneves won!!!

 

Lazy day here, Denny. Slowly getting my **** together for WS'21.

 

Skipped the last 30 something pages, hope everbuddy are ok. Russ, glad to see you got home ok. Raining again here, sure not getting much done outside, most of the garden hasn't even been planted here. Probably won't get many tomatoes until September. 'Tween Carol and rain, haven't done a ride in... 3 weeks?

 

Afternoon gents. Our weekend has turned to ****, literally. Found out our main line is leaking just before it exits the house. There was a nasty smell and I thought it had to do with then funky washing machine water discharge which goes to a crock, then a sump pump tosses it into the main line, which I never liked. It was an like Rube Goldberg designed it. So I pulled the stacked washer and dryer, built a platform to raise them up to get higher than the plumbing, and, well.....that's where the project stands so far. But I also noticed the main coming out of the wall had some nasty brown leak dribbling down the wall (was behind [paint cans so I never noticed it). I chiseled out the concrete patch around the pipe and all sorts of nastiness spilled out.

So that's me all over - major project on a holiday and just before a vacation at the end of a short week. Stress levels are cranked up to 11.

 

When it rains it pours, Bob.

 

Jeezuz Bob, sorry to hear. I'll save the jokes for later. Maybe some decent temp fixes using rubber collars and similar? ........at least until you are back from WS21, or pay a plumber $$$ I suppose.

 

Afternoon check in.....

 

I’m going to look at the bride side, this means Cheryl is coming to WS21 for sure. She wouldn’t want to stay home with the plumbing not working correctly.

 

Howdy, Stan, Al and Chuck.

How ya feelin, Al?
