Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...glad the shot is working.

I think we are ready...decorations done. It will be really quiet.

I have to call an electrician tomorrow...my Mom emailed me at work to tell me my Dad had fallen off the bed, between the bed and the wall, while sleeping. He was wrapped in his blanket, but they were able to get him backed out, up, and back to bed.

Then I get home tonight and encountered a list...the first being the electric fry pan had sparked and sparked some more. At least 2” of the cord is fried, and the whole plug in track is now not working. I checked the box, and the switch is not tripped, but it looks dirty, maybe burn marks around the switch. All the rest of them are “clean” looking. I don’t like electricity...I will call an electrician. May be nothing, but I do not like messing with things like that.

Then the dishwasher wasn’t working....I pushed several buttons, and held in the “lock” and it started.

A couple other problems tackled and completed.

Did you get all your plumbing issues under control?

Unfortunately, the plumbing issues are not quite solved. Mrs. Mac Nessa has done the repair job - I have great difficulty in getting down into the basement because of the weakness in my legs. I've been going out and buying the parts. She got the sump pump properly installed, but the crappy 35 year-old pipes leading to the discharge are breaking up. she made two good repairs with the assistance of our youngest, John Man, but there is one joint that has failed, not due to her work. In the morning, I am again bound to the home center to pick up what hopefully will be the correct part. John Man took pictures with my cell phone of the offending joint and we should be able to get the job done. I will probably have to work late again tomorrow to get my hours in - got off tonight at 8:00 - got home at about 9:20.
