Hey y’all.
I’ve been a little busy here lately and haven’t had much time to get the blog together.
Well, that’s only partly true. The busy thi g i mean. Lets take it week by week.
Last Monday I went to a concert with my old friend Jim whom I haven’t hung out with for years. It was a good time. We saw Dweezil Zappa play 3 hours (!) of his father Frank’s music-without a break. It was goofy in places (as it should be), musically enthralling, exhilarating, and exhausting. Got home super late and decided I’d catch up on the blog later.
This week, though, we are dealing with a leak in our basement. There’s been a slow leak in the pipes feeding our utility sink for some time, apparently. The problem with the slow leak is that you don’t notice it until the damage has been done.
Now, it wasn’t a terrible leak, and damage was minimal. Still, some drywall will need to ne replaced, the carpet cleaned (and hopefully not replaced, but time will tell), and I may need to replace some cds and dvd/blu-rays from my collection. I also left my mountain dulcimer in the path of the leak, but I think the instrument may still be playable. The case, though, is toast.
Anyway, it could have been a lot worse, all things considered. Fortunately, my wife’s sister and brother in law are both DIY experts, and they (along with a friend of theirs) helped us get everything under control right away. Big thanks to Mike, Elizabeth, and Sandy.
Well, there’s your update, folks. I hope to be back next week with a more normal type MonDaves post. Whatever that is. See you then!
P.S.-Oh, and I also had to replace the battery in my car during all this. Not a big deal, really, just something else to mention, I guess.
