…there are places where you shouldn’t scrimp if you don’t have to.
I use this sink for everything. I take baths in it, wash clothes in it, butcher chickens in it. Sometimes I even wash dishes in it. And every time I’m happy I was able to score a good one. ‘Way back when Landlady’s husband T was still alive and the Secret Lair was only a gleam in my eye, we scored a bunch of old sinks from a guy who does building demolition and I claimed this big, deep old cast-iron one. Defended it for a few years until I had a counter to mount it in. Never regretted it for a minute. This isn’t a good place for a chintzy sink.
Seems like I’m becoming the company chicken-killer these days. Which is good, because I guess it’s the sort of thing I need to be good at. Right now I’m at Landlady’s place sponging off her hotspot, but there’s another Wildblue service call scheduled for tomorrow. Maybe the third time will be charmed and I’ll actually get my service back. Though judging from the evidence that’s really not the way to bet.
Well thanks for the warning on the service call schedule. Theres’ a vague prediction for a little snow overnight, so now I’m suspecting a blizzard that will no doubt start down in the gulch and work it’s way up here. Good luck!
coloradohermit — And if Joel’s weather doesn’t head your way, ours here in the Pacific NorthWET might.
On the weather report this morning the local star meteorologist was explaining how, even though we’re going to get “rain comparable to what Colorado got earlier this month” it won’t bother us as much.
But then he said the system would move on to … Colorado. Are you late enough in the year now that your next adventure is sure to be snow? Wow, what if you get it from both Joel’s neck of the woods and mine?
Joel, it’s good to see you online even a little bit. I’ll be sending my best magical vibes for a successful satellite fix tomorrow.
“…sponging off her hotspot…”
All RIGHTY then!
Sorry, that just kicked over the giggle box.
Funny how I never see that coming…
Yay! More Joel stuff. As far as the sink goes, just wash it good, rinse with a little bleach water, and you’re good to go onto the next task.
Jeez, I guess I need to get my eyes checked too. I looked at that picture and wondered why you threw blueberry pie/whatever into your sink.
Nice to see a drive by from you, Joel.
It’s snowed off and on in upper NV the past few days. WTF? …Already?…..I’ve been in Colorado when it snowed in June, so nothing surprises me about the weather there.
Then we wonder why there are wars and violence in the world, as long we commit the barbaric act of eating animals, we always we’ll live like this.
