Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

delightful afternoon with Buppies and his wife.
They know this area well and I got a fun tour of the Smith Mountain Lake dam. And Buppies paved the road! a fine looking road I might add...

riding in Buppies AMG S class was a real treat.

changed my clothes, now to try to fix the toilet. Going to take pics first since I can't see anything, totally blind working on this behind the toilet.
I really want to take a long hot shower and don't want to flood the floor.

this area is so pretty

one cannot drive through this area of Maryland and Virginia and not be constantly reminded of the Civil War.
Buppies and I chatted about the good number of Confederate flags being flown and the different reactions folks had to them, both positive and negative.

looks like several possible culprits
Won't be the crimped part vs the clamps
I need to feel around and try to locate anything wet.
at least I know what my hand will be touching now.
that fitting on the right looks particularly dodgy

well, first I have to clean everything in there again.
one's head almost goes in the bowl...
then down on my stomach and see if I can stretch my arm in there.
I can see me getting stuck.
help, I'm stuck in my toilet

actually why I try to keep a cell phone near.

20 minutes of cycling homework done on a Rainey cool afternoon.

Two-bit-score,
My reasoning for say ‘the court’ is it would be the simplest catalyst - one court decision to trigger ALL government entities to address. I fear if we relied on the electoral process we’d never get there

Really enjoyed time with Drew wife was very at ease and had a lot of fun

and she is very nice, smart too, after all, she picked Buppies...

 

[daugen]

decided if I broke the fitting somehow, I'd never get my shower.
So took a nice hot shower and now no way am I getting back on the floor working on that tonight. Figured out what was leaking, tried to tighten, no joy. Will try again tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile depressurized the system, easy to do since I'm running on tank water.
I was surprised how quick I went through 30 gallons of water.
Filled the tank back up a little while ago.

pretty tired, been some busy days, not getting my naps for sure.
maybe tomorrow.
oh, toilet duty. Sigh
maybe they will have a local repair guy that's about 5 feet tall.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.5C and it's presently 26.5C, clear & calm. Wind will pick up this arvo.

I did get some more wood stacking in yesterday arvo prior to the Parrish Council meeting. I reminded them that about a wreath for Remembrance Day... they'd forgot and asked if I could order one and, perhaps, lay it on the day.

So, this morning, it was a quick trip into town to arrange a wreath with the local florist. Fortunately I was also able to pick up a few items at the grocery store too.

I'm back to wood-stacking, as the occasions arise. Plus I'll need to 'tiddly up' my rig for Remembrance Day tomorrow.

Lest we forget.

That's about it, take care all.

Finally made it to southern kitchen. Drew, you might have made the better detour at harpers ferry. Out of curiosity I drove all the way to the road closure on 340, and it forces you to go south on 671. The problem was down at Rt 9. It was backed up 1-2 miles, and it took about 30+ minutes to get to the traffic light to turn right. Pretty area. I’ve been there before but been awhile. Those poor people that have to put up with that traffic every day.

Immediately Below smith mountain lake starts Leesville lake. We had friends with a cabin on it, who once took us on a boat ride up and down the lake.
