Anthony! Kitchen Plumbing! Azalea Supplies! 8.20.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:37 pm  

I think our population will continue to shrink.

Super Blue Moon last night.

OYB!

EspaƱol!

The faucet in my kitchen has been leaking when it was turned on for at least two years. Every day, I caught the little drips and poured them out. Two days ago the turn off valves starting leaking constantly. I decided that I needed to get it repaired asap after that. I had the plumber come by and fix it this morning.

Chris did a good job.

I had him check the pressure in the house. It was a little high but not terribly so. He showed me how to check it. If it gets over 80 psi, I’ll call them back to replace the pressure valve. That would be $880. Ouch.

I got a Moen faucet.

I’ve used Keep Smiling plumbing for over twenty years, although the original company was bought out by another company.

Chris replaced the fixtures.

Left a good review. Although I thought it was pretty expensive. $850 for parts and labor for replacing the faucet and the two shut off valves. Just the way it is these days.

Had a fun talk with my buddy Anthony. We were having a great conversation which I had to cut short because the plumber arrived.

Did a load of laundry. I actually prefer doing my own laundry. It’s no big deal for me but pretty hard for K to do.

Talked to Nana. Always a blessing.

Went to Walmart to pick up some new fans and a trashcan for the mission. Also purchased a few treats for the kids. I never run the AC in the mission so the fans help a lot to make it more comfortable.

Read Castaneda in Spanish while I waited for the bus. Always looking up words.

Fed the girls before going to the mission.

Mission was packed. I can really tell that the kids have fallen behind because of the Summer break.

Everly lost her pencil she won for reading a bunch of books. I found it.

I dropped it off at her house. It’s amazing how something small like that can really help her feel better.

My electric pencil sharpener conked out. Got a new one ordered.

Don Cheto.

WX!

Keep going.
