Sharp's Travels

Another nice morning walking with a temp at 56 degrees and no wind. I left the house at 9:00 am and picked up Ron Sharp to go to his daughter’s rental to install a new dishwasher. The trip should only take a half hour but today there was so much traffic in both directions that we couldn’t move only a few feet at a time. We finally got off on a side street but had to drive an extra 20 miles to get there. I had to come up with some special fittings to install the water to the dishwasher which I figured I wouldn’t have with me. But after going through my plumbing boxes I came up with the right fittings. While working on the dishwasher I got another call that neighbors of some church friends had a leak under the bathroom sink and wanted me to check it out. It was on my way home so stopped and it was a small leak in the waste line and all I had to do was tighten it up. The neighbor will be gone for a month and wants to shut off the water to the house. Well the water shutoff box at the street was full of sand. I cooped out three pails of sand to get to the shutoff valves. From there I took the old dishwasher to the scarp yard and then stopped fill up the truck with gas. It was 2:30 pm when I got home. I missed lunch so was really hungry. After eating a sandwich I headed to the shower to get cleaned up. Cheri was busy with laundry and other housework. She fixed us the rest of the baked spaghetti for supper, which we had later because of my late lunch. This evening we watched more episodes of Airplane Repo. Thank you God for a blessed day with safe travels and helping us with our projects.
