Greetings, gang.
Cloudy and 67 very humid degrees outside my window this morning. The high is supposed to be about 10 degrees north of that.
So far since Wed. morning I have about 2 inches in the rain gauge. Yesterday was one of those days when you can work up a sweat just taking a deep breath. I didn't do much yesterday. One load of laundry in the morning and some dusting after lunch. Seems I just did this last month. You'd think it would stay clean longer. Also talked to my granddaughter in Omaha for about a half hour. No exciting news. Just checking in with me. I also managed to get in a bike ride. I was curious so I timed it. 12.67 miles in 1 hour and 7 minutes. Just wanted to establish a baseline. Now I can work on cutting down that time. Next goal will be to see how close I can get to 1 minute flat. Gym this morning and a bike ride this afternoon if it's not too windy. May see about washing the car. Also need to put some flowers on my wife's grave.
Don - will that be your first?
Charlie - there's no such thing as a "minor" price tag when plumbers are involved. This will probably be around $140. I'm contemplating having the entire sewer dug up and replaced with plastic. While I'm at it I'll have them replace the waterline coming into the house. What's there now is 3/4 inch galvanized which has probably been there for 70-80 years. I'm sure it's mostly plugged by now. Very hard water in this area.
All stay safe.
