Retirement update again.
After the last week of being uncharacteristically discouraged with life events, yesterday was a blast!
Yesterday started out with a 7 am call from my 35 yr. old son that his previous day's small water leak had expanded from the 2nd floor bathroom.
It had nothing to do with last week's tile job in another bathroom, fortunately.
It ended up being a simple matter of replacing the corroded shutoff valves (no water softener).
Both broke off in my contractor friend's hands while trying to take them off: would have happened with just the water pressure if not caught early.
I was thrilled by my son missing the bullet (pun intended) over the pipe not bursting & my friend being available to help since he was between jobs this week.
That same friend wanted to go with me to Bedford just for the drive.
He has a 2015 Corvette that he is so proud off: his last one after nearly 40 yrs. of 'Vettes.
I started out the day intending to buy 2 guns in Bedford, but ended up with 3.
My idea of a grand day: helping the son & saving him $$ & grief & a fun drive in the country & gun purchasing.
