After my recent post about our sump pump adventure, I realized that some clarification is required regarding my assistant.
My able assistant was my wife, not DG, who was taking a nap at the time.
Ya. Actually, you were. You were sitting in the easy chair with your eyes closed.
Ya. Sure. Go back to sleep.
So, it’s raining and raining and also it’s raining, so take a guess at what would be the worst possible event that you can think of that might happen during our wetter than normal spring.
Yup. Last night our sump pump stopped working, and the basement was filling with water.
So…….. find a plumber on Friday evening?
Fortunately, because I am a dweeb, I had a backup sump pump that I bought years ago just to cover us for this sort of contingency.
Unfortunately, I am not a plumber, and the connections to the new pump are different from the connections to the old pump. Go figure.
So, I (and my able assistant) hacked something together to see if we can keep our basement dry. Does this look right to you?
Ahhhh. Maybe not.
Pay special attention to the string tied neatly in a bow.
Here’s a photo of the foul, filthy, failed <insert additional f word> pump that I pulled out of the hole.
Anyway, the new pump appears to be working for now. Next week I will get a real plumber to check out the proper use of the jute string. What could possibly go wrong?
Stay dry.
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day,
Little DG wants to play.
I don’t know about where you live, but it has been raining here for days.
It looks like DG’s enthusiasm for politics has been dampened.
Maybe he should find a new hobby.
I finally got fed up with DG trying to boost a candidate on this blog and sat him down laid down the law.
“DG”, I said “You have to quit. I do not allow politics on this blog. No way. No how!
I did not! I do not allow politics on this blog. Prove it!
Yeah. So what? That is a drawing of you waiting for a Covid shot back in 2021. Here’s the post:
Nothing political about that.
Um. Yeah. That’s a photograph of Bernie Sanders waiting for the inauguration to begin. It went viral.
Um. Maybe. I’m sure it’s completely coincidental.
Um. Well. OK maybe you got me on a technicality.
So…. I suppose you want to boost your candidate.
Well, then. Go ahead. Who is it you are stumping for?
Seriously?
Honestly, DG, that is the lamest running gag you have ever done.
Uncle.
It looks like DG is still at it.
One question…..
Who’s flying the plane now?
DG has been quiet for the last few days. I suspect that he is up to mischief.
Sorry, DG, try again.
DG showed up acting suspicious.
Something isn’t right here.
Hey, DG, what’s going on?
What the heck is he up to now?
Ya gotta be quicker than that.
It seems that we are now fully immersed in political campaigns.
Sigh.
DG seems to have taken up a cause…..
I don’t allow any politics on this blog… and that includes YOU!
Rules are rules. Deal with it.
Did you get all your clocks changed for the crazy Daylight Savings Time switch?
From the look of DG, he is all done.
Or maybe, all done-in is a better description.
