"The hare-brained chatter of irresponsible frivolity" ... Benjamin Disraeli
Chicken Supper
Just put a chicken in the oven, it was supposed to be our Sunday supper, but since I decided to fix that very small leak I found in the shut-off under the kitchen sink and then decided to just see if I could get the valve-stem at Crappy Tire, and after ½ hour picking one that sort of resembled the one in my hand and getting it home and taking out the old one … putting in the new one and finding out the leak was also in the new one, so it must be something in the actual housing itself, I decided to do it right and get those twist on-off valves for both the cold and hot, so off to Crappy (Mexican, she calls it) Tire, since it is only a 10 minute drive away, to get all the supplies … low and behold everything except the solder & flux, I was sure getting fluxxed, so the decision to get on the highway out to the blip, i.e. Home Depot and all the other 10,000 MEGA Stores led me back to my new home with gifts in hand to fix this small minor problem that just wringing out a rag once a day could of done it, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO … torch in hand and the fire/heat shield in place, he wielded the torch & flux and jeez he almost forgot to go down and find the 4 or 7 or well now why not shut off the main valve where the water comes into the house and then back up to the job at hand, you know, that 15 minute job that got started 3 hours ago and finally gets done around 3 hours later as he finally gets that last pin-hole leak fixed, so the chicken rested restfully for another night in the fridge … UNTIL NOW …
