When:  Tuesday–It didn’t happen- 3/27/2018

Weather: Wet and 60’s

Due to a bodacious amount of rain, I had the opportunity to reprioritize my post-work schedule.  Today, I was able to recharge my battery (a.k.a I took a nap) before completing the purchase of the ingredients for dinner AND before visiting my buddy at the pool store.

At the pool store, I was able to get complimented on the present chemical makeup of the pool. I was given a couple of pointers post-rain, but overall a pretty good report.  With a new pool store opening up closer to the house, I will have to decide if it is worth the drive to see my pool buddy in Colleyville.

At the grocery store, the most critical item on the shopping list was ground sausage.  With a french toast casserole awaiting the girls and me for dinner, the sausage was essential.  If you are a Gruenbaum, you like your sausage.  Links are fine, but patties are best.  (A digression…when I was growing up, we used to get a half [or was it a whole] hog for our freezer.  I learned to love ground sausage.  It is hard for me to eat sausage patties without my mouth watering for a good sandwich with the patties and a couple squirts of ketchup.)

Lastly, there is the part of the evening that not all parties will agree are worth sharing.  Since I am including it at the bottom, maybe no one will read this far.  As the sausage was cooking on the stove, I attempted to make good on my promise to unplug the girl’s shower.  For a couple of weeks, the girls have showered with a few pauses between the beginning and the end.  I had to ask to realize this was caused by the drain being very slow.  Tonight, I finally was able to confirm why it drained slow.  I cant say for sure, but it appears someone attempted to shove a sweater down the rain.  The sweater was now caked with soap and other things I would rather have not touched.  A few ounces of drain cleaner put the finishing touches on the project.  Very glad to get that done!
