55. It's almost 11:00 PM and I'm giggling like an idiot.
Sun Feb 4, 2024, 11:43 PM
Feb 2024

I had a fairly long weekend - woke up Saturday morning to a dying hot water tank in the basement.

My son and my uncle convinced me to let them help me install the new one. We had it in the house by 1:30 today. Four hours and two more trips to the hardware store and it was installed. Turned the water on and one of the fittings leaked.

Sent the son to get more fittings while my uncle and I cut 18" of pipe from the hot and cold sides - we're starting over. Another hour and we're done (my uncle is very helpful buy slows things considerably).

I planned to make pizza today and had everything ready to go - so I cooked the five balls of dough that were in the fridge. Sent both of them home with thanks and leftover pizza.

And Pepperoni Dog Farts has me giggling like a 6 year old who heard a fart in church.
