We spent the better part of two Saturdays ago having our septic tank (well, technically, it's not a septic system because there is no leach field, but it's a lift tank or holding tank) pumped because there is apparently a sewer pipe blockage down the street, and our lift pump has burned out because of it. Not so nice.
At the same time I was worrying about the sewer, our air conditioning (A/C) started acting funny (or smelling, rather). After calling a couple of A/C guys about it and getting the standard (and unwarranted, I might add) lecture about how nobody ever changes their filters, I discovered the problem myself - standing water in the ducts.
There was about 2 or 3 quarts of water in the ducts just in front of the first register. I noticed it when the A/C was on because the force of the air rushing past it was creating ripples. I stuck about 10 dry towels down there and pulled them all back up soaked. Once I got the water out, by golly if the air flow didn't double and the funky smell disappeared! Dang condensation!
I have finally accumulated 1,000,000 neopoints in Neopets! I'm now the proud owner of a Millionaire Platinum bank account at the Neopets Bank! Gotta love Neopets!
We invited Chris and Sarah Newcomb over for some BBQ pork chops the next Sunday. Their little baby (Aiyana) thought Becky was just hilarious jumping around making faces at her. We then were treated to some ribs and smoothies at their house just a few days later - great stuff!
Becky and Jared enjoyed watching the fireworks on our street on the 4th. Becky and I did a small test run a few nights before in our driveway with some leftover fireworks from last year (that we bought in Susanville, CA) that we could never use (being illegal in NV). We then headed over to Rocky Mountain Fireworks & Fur Co. (the big yellow building off of exit 26), and grabbed a few more for this year. Fun stuff - I think we only had one dud out of the whole bag!
Status update: in our multi-year quest to read through the complete Old Testament, we now are getting close to finishing. We have recently completed Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, and Joel, and Amos. =)
