Starting a list
I'm starting a list because I am theoretically starting our taxes. So far on the list we have a new hot water heater and a new back door.
Hot water heaters don't last like they used to, and this one is six or seven, I think. We had another incident where the pilot light just blinked off for no reason we could see. The last time it happened it kept doing it for a couple of weeks, but I finally figured out a way to clean built-up carbon out of the little pipe (one of those teeny brushes sold for flossing between your teeth!) and that held it until last week. But I tried the floss brush again, and MAGIC! Hot water ever since. Still, I think a new one might be a good idea.
The door is one we meant to replace last summer when we did the others, except I got tired of installing doors and we put it off a while. It's about to fall apart, though, despite its heavy winter coat of duct tape. I hope it can hold out until the weather decides to let us get above freezing for part of the day on a semi-regular basis.
But hey, it's almost February, and we know the groundhog won't see his shadow around HERE, because there's still two dang feet of snow covering his burrow and he can't GET OUT.
Also upcoming for February, Valentine's Day. So for Tune Tuesday (look, I remembered this week!), here's one you probably haven't heard, from an album (recently re-released on CD) where the Supremes sang show tunes!
