Wait until Lilli shows up - she's fairly sensitive
to off-kilterness. Not so much as Gail Shipp, but
reasonably close.

OK. I'll plop the refurbished ones in the corner and pull down the

other 5.

Then we can spend an exciting afternoon doing interior decorating

things, while

she watches with mirth and most likely conflicting directions.

What fun. So for an afternoon you and Lilli can
keep amused, but I'll just stare at the ceiling.

Went down to the lake today...got the propane hooked up, turned it on and verified things fired off, turned it off. Since the pressure switch

for the

well feels like it's under no pressure...it won't perform and turn the pump off. Soooo...I'll get a new switch to put on it. Which means...I couldn't make any soapy water to check for gas leaks. Next time I'll bring some

water

with me. I would have done it today, but I'm not much for advanced

preparation

and thinking gives me a headache. Had a nice visitor while I was

there...black

What's the chance of a substantial and dangerous
leak - that's to say, how many have you detected
before? Lilli has had the San Diego utility
company claim she has a massive water leak, but
we just went to check the meter, and the dial
was as stationary as can be. Of course, this is
the county where there has been coverage of
millions of dollars in fake charges in the last
year or two.

cat (had a collar and tags) wandered in and spent about half an hour

telling me

how badly the place needs to be cleaned, smelling/rubbing/rolling

everything

(including me below the knees), probably a residual PITA reaction. I

chased

he/she/it off when it decided to sharpen it's claws, or leaving yet another type of claim on the homestead, on the back of the sofa. I was careful

to make

sure it was out before I locked things up since I won't be back

Is this becoming the cat echo, or what.

until...probably Wednesday at the earliest. Discovered the fridge,

actually

freezer, is fully stocked. Baggie with about 3 oz of dried porcini

mushrooms

in it, I bought 2 lbs a couple of years ago, gave 1 away and spread the

other

around places I inhabit, I'll bring beer next trip and that will take

care of

provisioning.

Quoting Michael Loo to Bill Swisher <=-

What fun. So for an afternoon you and Lilli can
keep amused, but I'll just stare at the ceiling.

You'll stare at the ceiling while holding up half of the print, and trying to put the wire over the hook. These things are just at the limit of my ability to hold them up and fumble with the wire, not that heavy...just largish (the two in the shop are about 27"X48" each, others slightly larger or smaller depending). If I get the prints back early enough I'll try to get somebody here to help me, before you guys arrive. I know the people who've been hanging
things in the building (there's actually a committee for that), I live in the West wing and that seems to be where almost all the activists are.

What's the chance of a substantial and dangerous
leak

Not much. As I said the gas is turned off right now. The hoses I just put on are all outside laying on the ground exposed to the winds. Propane is heavier than air. In the planning stage is a rack for the bottles and attaching the hose/valves to something more permanent, the germ is there about 1/2" behind my
forehead, just needs to be masticated a bit. Water...well the pump was pushing 90psi and the only thing keeping it there was some sort of popoff valve
down by the pump I could hear. Turn the power off and it would drop down to about 60psi, and it seemed to hold there for several days while I went back and
forth to town. The replacement pressure switch is set for 30/50psi.

Is this becoming the cat echo, or what.

Gee...does this mean I shouldn't mention visiting with some friends this afternoon who just arrived after a 2 week drive from San Diego in a RV with their 11 cats? Which is why they don't fly. Had a glass of chardonnay with them, the people not the cats (the cats seemed pooped, most didn't even glance at me, but one expressed an interest in Theresa's glass of wine). They have a really nice log cabin on the banks of the Kenai River in Cooper Landing, Connie
worked with their daughter, we got PITA Too from them.
