A shiny new water intake valve
For at least the past year, the water intake to the upstairs toilet has been corroded. I noticed because the flapper on the back of the toilet was leaking just slowly/quietly enough to be annoying and I couldn’t turn off the water to the toilet to replace it. In addition to the apparent paranoia about […]

Cold Weather = Dead Batteries
Today’s theme was dead batteries. Sometime around midnight, one of the smoke detectors in our house started beeping. This was odd since Brian is very good about checking and replacing the batteries when we set the clocks (twice a year). We thought it must be because the front entryway was so cold due to temps […]

Back at the ranch
I just read over Su’s description of our trip to the midwest (below) and it looks like she hit all the high points. It was a relaxing and fun time bookended between two drives that seem to get longer every year. Now that I’m back in Newburyport it’s time to get back to normal life. […]
