The yard was finally dry enough to get some work done outside. I asked Sparky if he wanted to help, but he said that today was a holiday for his people. He had the day off.
Okay, let I’ll bite. Why is today a holiday and who are your people?
The Wolf Pup is 9 years old, and the door hinges are messed up.
Campers and RV’s are a challenge because they use hardware and techniques that are not used elsewhere. Getting the right hinges took some effort. It uses a double hinge that attaches to the door and the screen door. Amazon had some generic hinges that may have worked, but brand names are more reliable.
That was quite a rain storm.
The service department was out this morning working on this big, six foot storm drain, but the water brought more debris. They showed back up a couple of minutes after I took this photo.
Members of a family tend to share ways of thinking or doing. The traits may be expressed differently or skip a few people, but it’s there. These things are probably a mix of nature and nurture, innate aptitudes and family attitudes. My sister recently commented about “The Nestoff Way”, and I’ve been thinking about what that is.
A week ago, when I posted about my house in a different timeline, I looked up my first house on the county auditor site. I bought it on April 28th, 1992, and sold it on April 28th, 1998. Owning it for exactly six years is notable, so an anniversary post seemed like a good idea.
Sparky was intrigued by my account of cleaning out the clogged storm drain. He understood that he couldn’t help because it was too close to the road.
It hasn’t rained in eight hours, but there is still water running down Sprague Road. Storm water is supposed to go down this grate, pass under my yard and continue to the creek in front of my house. It’s a giant grate, but it’s completely plugged with small branches, leaves, and now a bunch of sand. A neighbor stopped when I was looking at it. He said that last night, the road was a river.
I’m going to try to pull the branches out, so the leaves and sand clear.
