- I’m not sure what was the low point of my day – being stuck four times to get four tubes of blood, being asked to leave the exam room while the doctor spoke to my daughter, or power-augering out the drain from our laundry room.
- Yes, I know I have every right to be in that exam room while my child is in there, but Girlie Bear gave me that “Please!” look
- You know why plumbers are so expensive? It’s because they’re worth it.
- I saved a couple of hundred dollars by doing it myself, but for once I’m not sure I came out ahead.
- I got out a big bunch of tree roots from the drain, but it came along with a guest.
- I’m not sure whether the thing that came up with the roots started life as a dryer sheet, a bleach towelette, or a baby wipe, but it was apparently the secret sauce on the clog.
- Yeah, I don’t know how it got down there either.
- Tonight I followed a family tradition and made a dinner that my spouse doesn’t like while she went out for dinner with friends.
- I showed Girlie Bear how to make hunter’s stew out of good, high quality ingredients, which cause the meal to cost about $6 to prepare the entire meal.
- I also discussed the cheap way of doing it, which would have brought the cost down to about $3 to feed a family.
- She will be able to make both versions before she leaves for college.

/ December 10, 2013When it’s plumbing, I just pay the man… sigh… And those tree roots WILL be back, unless you dig up and replace that section of pipe… Hunter’s stew is good regardless (as long as you don’t use possum…

/ December 10, 2013Yeah, that’s on my list of projects for the spring or early summer. Luckily, it appears to be only a fee feet from the house, so it shouldn’t be too deep to dig out.
I needed to buy a grinder anyway.
