Day 3647

 I woke up about 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff.  The plumber was supposed to come at 1 or later, so the first order of business was to clean the place.

I spent over an hour cleaning the kitchen - floors, counters, oven, and all of the dirty dishes and pans that Ellen had left on the flat spots and the sink.  I emptied the dishwasher and then took out 3 sacks of garbage and some recycle.  I wrapped up cleaning the guest toilet.  Then I had breakfast.

Ellen finally went through all of the credit card slips that were piled 8 inches high on the kitchen table (no exaggeration).  Then she took on the master toilet.  She also handled the clothes washing (like always). 

By then it was almost 11, so we didn't take Abby to the park.  I got out the BRZ and continued work.  I put oil in the shocks.  I also put oil in the Audi shocks.  I attached the shocks to the car and was working on the steering when the plumber arrived.

I described the problem to him.  He looked puzzled.  Apparently these things are usually related to turning the water on.  The hammering here seemed to be spontaneous.  After looking at the pump install and checking some other things in the house he decided to drain the house.  That means turning off the pump and opening all of the valves in the house.  When that was done he refilled the house.  It's been over 7 hours since he was done and no hammering. 

When the plumber was done I finished up the steering and put the BRZ away.  I'd had enough work on it for today.  I switched to surfing and a few videos.

I had something frozen for dinner.  I only ate about 2/3 of it.  I didn't want the rest of it any way.

After dinner I surfed while Ellen watched chick flicks.  What's worse than a chick flick?  A Christmas chick flick.

Eventually Ellen went to bed and I watched videos until time for bed.
