Day 375: Sept. 14, 2008

Some of the remnants of Hurricane Ike arrived today, which made for an adventurous motorcycle ride to breakfast. Gusty winds have a tendency to move you in directions you weren't expecting.

This evening, we found that we had lost one tree in the back lot -- but only because part of a neighbor's tree fell on it.

In disgusting house news, I cleaned the downstairs toilet, which someone had used before the plumbing was ready. Blech. We also started working on the dirty tub, but we had to cut it short when I accidentally turned on the hot water. Long story.

Just before we started the remodel last year, we discovered that the hot water had developed a horrible sulfury smell. Last week when I cleaned the sinks, I noticed that it's still there. The plumber's supposed to be back Monday to troubleshoot.

Here's hoping the HVAC guys are there Monday too, as scheduled. Nothing would help us more than some air conditioning!

The photo is the deck at night, by the way.
