Attack of the Mole People
(title from a good-premise-poor-execution book that Paul had with him this weekend about people who live in abandonded tunnels under NYC) The fun never stops! The service tech dispached by AHS showed up around noon today. First thing he asked when he got here was where my ground level cleanout was. In the quiet words [...]

The center will not hold
Bad luck comes in threes, right? While I was away climbing this weekend, the air conditioning stopped working. In the middle of the Arizona 105 degree days. Suffice to say that sleeping on Sunday night was a tad uncomfortable. Yesterday the guy came out, and found it was just a pulley that had slipped off [...]

Jack’s Canyon

Frankenroof
I went back to Home Despot yesterday to get some work gloves (fiberglass shards under the skin = ouch!), and while I was there I talked to Norman, the resident roof guy, to find out just how much of the damaged area I needed to cut away. Norman gave me a simplified plan for fixing [...]

Well, I finally got in touch with the insurance company w/r/t the roof situation. “Act of God”, indeed, so I figured we were just going to have to pay a contractor to come and fix it. That is, until Paul, April and April’s dad came by to visit and check the place out on Friday. [...]

Boo!
My bill payment service seems to have let their domain registration lapse. I just called to confirm that they’re not going bankrupt or anything like that, and apparently they’re not. They better hurry up and get their domain info renewed and propagated… I got bills to pay, yo! Update: Everything seems to be back in [...]

Cat drama
It was a less than fun weekend in the world of the cats. I found Manson hiding under the bed Friday afternoon, and when I picked him up to see what he was doing I had blood on my hands. I took him to the one pet clinic I took Poe when he had his [...]

Happy birthday, Ryan!
