Law of Threes Disproven

#4. Could hear water running in the pipes yesterday morning; thought a toilet needed "looking into" because all the hoses were indeed off. Or the water heater was going out, or the softener, maybe. Put off further checking. Last night could hear it still and checked further. Found the pressure reduction valve leaking and spraying water all over the crawl space. Learned two things: plumbing repairs are more expensive at night, and it pays to thoroughly check immediately when you hear water running and it shouldn't be.

#5. Came home from shopping and lunch with Dreampacker yesterday, and found the horses had opened the pasture gate and turned our yard into a race track. The lawn and garden are heavily churned up from the orchard to the vineyard with holes and skid marks. At least they didn't do damage to the neighbors' yards or get out onto the street, or up on the mountain.

(Or is this the beginning of a second set of three?)

Well, at least they are well-trained enough to stay in the yard...

Actually you left out the first of the three--breaking a tooth when opening a can that was earlier in the day.

D'oh! I think your patience is being tested - someone is hoping to distract you. You must be doing something right.

So now that you have had a bad run of 6 - you are up for a good run - right?! Thanks for coming to the restaurant! It was great to see you!
