It Sounded Good

"Hey, let's all meet at the casino and nobody will have to cook for Thanksgiving!"  "Okay, let's do it."  I checked my weather app a couple of days ago...rain on Tuesday, snow on Wednesday.  Not the best, but still doable.  Checked the app again yesterday...rain on Wednesday and snow for the next five days.  Arrggh!  Even with 4WD I'm not sure I want to do Bucks Bar in the snow.  There have been times I've had to throw Truck in gear just to get up my driveway.  Oh well, it sounded good.

Mike didn't make it yesterday.  I don't know what that and the weather will do to his plan to finish the deck by Thanksgiving.  It sounded too good to be true when he said it.  Oh well.

I keep all windows open a bit, even in winter, because I like the fresh air.  Poor Arden.  Knowing that she chills easily, I lit a fire before she came yesterday and covered her with a lap robe while I got her laundry started.  (I'm in charge of the washing machine and she does the dryer.)  We were sitting and watching the news of the day when I realized something did not sound good in the laundry room.  Going back to check, I found a fountain of water spraying out of the drain hose.  Turn off the machine and go for that old standby, duct tape.  It made enough of a repair a la Pa Kettle to finish the load of wash without flooding the room, and the dryer worked well for Arden.  So much for our relaxing Friday.  It sounded good.

I called Mt. Aukum and they have the kind of hose I need.  I'm sure Google will have instructions so I can replace it.  Wish me luck.
