Morning Coffee Round-up - October 1

Good collection savored over the first sip. 

Thank you, Wiley. 

 

 

 

The one basic thing I hope to come out of the mid-term elections

is a new congress that will tell him and his administration, "No." 

...and mean it.  

 

 

 

And if you want something happy to think about;

think about shopping at Costco! 

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Happy October! 

6 days of this crap...

 

 

 

I believe the correct sentiment is;

 

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, ENOUGH WITH THE GOD DAMNED FUCKING RAIN!!"

(it is blasphemy day, after all) 

 

Past two nights, all we heard on the local news, "The low is moving out, drier air and sunshine are moving in!"  Our mold has grown mold. I am right up there with Leanna; the dampness is killing me; both physically and mentally.

Toilet Troubles - Day Two.

 

"The plunger was 3' in diameter and 

needed a back hoe to maneuver..." 

 

Actually, no.  Seems we have a faulty pump (that long, skinny thing laying on the ground) that got fried when the power spiked following the power outage early Saturday morning.

 

This is why we have a maintenance contract. 

 

Three holes; from the bottom - the top of the 15,000 gallon vault where everything from the house goes into.  The middle hole pumps light liquids up to a giant osmotic filter box (hidden from view).  The furthest is the leaching field pump as (gray) water from the filter box flows down.  The leaching field if a giant gravel box about 10 yards from the last pump.

 

The good news is - it will be repaired today.  

Monday

 

Times are a' changin...

My father was a blue collar foreman for J&L Steel on the banks of the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh, PA.  He finally got his GED when he was in his 50's, and we proudly hung it on the hallway wall near the bedrooms.  My dad could fix anything; duct tape, hammer or a toilet plunger, and most every problem could be resolved.  

During breakfast this morning, my neighbor texted me;   

 

Reached out to our septic maintenance service;  they needed to see what errors were being flagged...

 

 Sent the photo over to them. I hope I don't need to jack my PC into the box.

 

I really miss the good old days when you only needed a 

plunger to fix a toilet and not a degree in Computer Science.
