On Sunday I'd just started cleaning out the refrigerator when the garbage disposal up and died. The "up" part was how it sprayed water all over. Now the kitchen sink is clogged. The plumber is due on thursday. I know that some of you have building managers who try to keep the tenants happy, but here they take a different approach: we wait...and wait...until the el cheapo moonlighter plumber can fit us in. I can understand when there's no urgency, but I think it's unreasonable when there's a clogged drain. I was told that I have to accommodate HIS schedule. And he doesn't usually know more than a day ahead what HIS schedule will be. I am trying to not get upset over it. After all, Larry's bathroom ceiling set the new record for absurdly slow repairs.

George, I meant to thank you for your suggestion the other night for my side mirror. The part that's broken has to do with adjusting the mirror, so actually I don't want it to be too permanent. I'll play with some duct tape. But not today.

This is the Schmitt Music building in downtown Minneapolis.

The mural is an excerpt from the score for Maurice Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit."

does one move the piano to the parking lot to rehearse the score?

TTFN.

And when you've practiced that page, do they put up another?

Back from a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich and picking up a package.

The second coat is on and we now have the windows open. The temperature has dropped and the humidity is very low. After dinner we'll be able to put up the new curtains and put the room back together. Richard will be very glad to have access to his desk again.

Vibes for DR JEANNE - our plumbing problem took only about fifteen minutes and $85 to fix.

I like mille feuilles. I don't really mind if they have custard or whipped cream, just a good quality of whatever is used.

Perfect timing on the drop in humidity.

DR Jeanne, that is horrible. My complex has 101 apartments on 7 floors, and I have never waited more than a day for any kind of repair or fix. Usually it is done the day I put in the request.

However, I have been in your situation. I lived in a courtyard of 8 cottages back in the mid 1990s. The college girl in the cottage next door to me complained about the ants getting into her cottage. Next thing you know, she was evicted. In Oregon you can (or could) evict without a reason and I was afraid to ask for anything from those landlords!

Interesting, DR Ben. Alas, the building is now up for sale.

I'll make a mental note to tell my friend about that

Would she been evicted if she complained about the uncles getting into her cottage?

Ditto!

We are also waiting for the plumber, the boss, to come to talk about the wet bar we want to put upstairs. But it's not an emergency...
