We gots us the indoor plumbin’ again!\u00a0 After three weeks without a bathroom sink, we once again have running water.\u00a0 No more having to remember to “flush before you brush” at our house.\u00a0 Donette started this little remodel project with her sister, and as always the “tearing out” phase turned out to be much easier than the “installation” phase.\u00a0 Pretty much everything you touch in an 80-year-old house has the potential to turn into a major undertaking, and the sink was no exception.\u00a0 Turned out the drain was all rotted out, and one good bump effectively crumbled it.\u00a0 She ciphered on it for a few weeks, and then we finally had to call in a plumber.\u00a0 Luckily there just happens to be several such individuals down at the Brooksider, so we got off cheap.\u00a0 We ended up with a sizable hole in the wall, but you can’t see it unless you happen to be digging around under the vanity so it works for me.<\/p>\n
We were so busy reveling in our new-found luxury at home that we really didn’t do a whole lot over the weekend.\u00a0 Saturday we got up early and went to “boot camp,” and then I went out to Mom’s for a while.\u00a0 I’ll tell you what, that boot camp thing still kind of knocks it out of us, we didn’t do a whole lot the rest of the day.\u00a0 Donette made some tasty pizzas for dinner, then I headed upstairs and watched a movie.<\/p>\n
Sunday morning Donette got up early and walked up to Waldo to participate in the big Trolley Run.\u00a0 I signed up, but somewhere along the way it turned into a “girls event” so I opted out of the run.\u00a0 Instead, Teagan and I just headed down to the end of the street and watched all the people go by.\u00a0 That is one big mob, I’ll tell you that.\u00a0 I think I heard over 8,500 this year.\u00a0 Snapped a few photos, I’ll have to get those up.\u00a0 Granted, pictures of a bunch of unknown joggers aren’t exactly exciting, but it occurred to me the other day that I haven’t posted a single picture on here yet this year so I need to put something up.\u00a0 After that event, Donette headed across the state line to attend a bridal shower for my cousin, while the dog and I headed up north to do a little prep work for the upcoming canoe trip.\u00a0 Martin had the smoker fired up, and we threw on 3 briskets, a few pork butts, and several slabs of ribs.\u00a0 That should pretty well cover us for the trip, as well as a few of the nearby towns;\u00a0 That’s quite a bit of BBQ.\u00a0 I didn’t know how long I’d get to stick around before the pup got out of hand, but it turned out she did quite well.\u00a0 A big ol’ bone and a few toys and she kept herself occupied all afternoon, and for the most part managed to stay out of the way.\u00a0 As a bonus, she was absolutely wiped out last night;\u00a0 She didn’t even try her 3:00 “sneak in the bed” trick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
