Spending $

Had to have some plumbing replaced in the downstairs master bathroom.  The piping was loose but not leaking yet but was getting harder to turn on the water and divert the flow to the shower head.  This lead to wearing the joints.  Had to semi remove some of the wall and did replace it with one plate that was bigger than the previous one.  Done and need to take out a loan for the repair or maybe mortgage the house.  Will try it out in the am before work.  STARS start pre-season tomorrow. Bike riding and it is getting cooler down here.  No rain in Sept so it is dry and water bill getting larger and larger.  Back to normal work tomorrow TU- TH.  Nice having 4 days off each week. I guess that's all for now

Something new in big R

The natives have decided we have a gas shortage in the area.  Topping off tanks, filling up 4-6 gas cans for "safety" so they don't run out.  I filled up last WE on the way home and have avoided the lines and alleged shortages.  While it might be in less supply if no panic no problem.  Will fill up today so I will have a weeks worth to start the week.  Some stations have been out but several apps tell one where to get gas.  In my driving around I can get gas anytime.  OH well!  We have avoided the tons of rain south of here but will get a little this week.  No sprinkler needed. YEAH!  Everything is "normal"? Down here. More later
