I got a 50' drain snake around 20 years ago that you can run with an electric drill. Probably saved a couple thousand dollars over calling a plumber every time I used it. After about 10 years started getting dirt coming up in the basement floor drain and realized why I had to snake the line so much, the drain elbow was mostly gone on the bottom, surprised it didn't make a big sinkhole, and glad it was only for the kitchen and clothes washer, no toilet waste. Haven't used the snake much since.

Rented a jackhammer and fixed that myself, too. Not fun, but no more dirt in the pipe. Won't rust again, either, replaced all the iron in the photo with pvc.

 

That's just how I started the new year today. Doing nothing is a good activity for winters in the frozen north. I did make some symmetrical pancakes this morning, though, another nice way to start the new year.

 

Watching the Michigan game.

 

I'm cooking up a batch of taco meat so I can have a little variety with the chili I made a few days ago. That reminds me, better take some of the chili out of the freezer.

 

Mindy asked what I wanted for New Years Day dinner.

Um, lasagna

 

Chili sounds good. Mil makes it by the lb. lol.
