My commiserations. Plumbing is my most hated repair job. I never seem to be able to do anything plumbing related without leaving a dripping pipe somewhere...

Earl Grey Creme cup #1 finished...going to make #2. Need lots of tea to restore the vocal cords destroyed during an indoor football game last night.

And, ugh, plumbing. You have my sympathies.

Latinandgreek · 04-15-2012, 02:38 PM

Thanks everyone! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Plumbing is something I call the plumber for. I'll attempt most repairs, but I call the plumber when something isn't right. I decided there had to be SOME consolation for reaching a certain span of years, and one was to stop pretending I'm a plumber!

Four Seasons Oolong. A very green oolong, and one that doesn't do well with boiling water -- needs to cool down just a bit, ~195 or so

My baby shower yesterday was tea themed. My friend who I gave my teas to returned them to me. I had some Bossa Nova and was in heaven. Now I have a whole bunch of teas sitting in my kitchen mocking me.

Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oo I wanted you forever more
Now I'm not one that gets around
Swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

I said, hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart

Good morning everyone! Happy Monday! We're starting a new work week and it's my last few days with my students. Then they are on their own as they work to pass the riding skill test. I'm my hope that they will surpass their teacher and win the license with just 2-3 tries. (No one has ever passed on the first try... EVER.) Remember, the national average is 11 attempts!

A big mug of Ceylon Dimbula tea, a plate of hummus, and warm pita bread will get me going, but I think I'm going to need a mid-morning onigiri today. I just feel it...

Check out chapter 8 of the Tao Te Ching... Lao Tsu said the same thing a few years ago!

When I built my house, I did all the wiring, plumbing, carpentry, etc., myself. Of all of the various jobs, I found installing the plumbing to be the easiest. But... that was the installation. Any subsequent repairs to plumbing in later years were more difficult than trying for a Luna landing!

It won't be long now... Very soon you'll be able to drink all the tea you want! Unfortunately, you just won't have TIME to drink all the tea you want. Well, after the first 6 months, when Lucas does more than just sleep and poop, that is. Those first 6 months are a spelled 'relief!' BTW, when is your Due Date? We need to mark it on our calendars.

One more mug of tea and off to the races!

Coke Zero #1 in my cup.

ProfCrash · 04-16-2012, 05:22 AM

Hot water and lemon, my traditional 4 AM drink.

Stitchawl · 04-16-2012, 05:59 AM

Almost 6pm... and a mug of Assam tea while I make a good Madras Indian curry for dinner. I'll add some extra chili pepper to mine after I plate it. My wife doesn't like it as spicy as I do.

ProfCrash · 04-16-2012, 09:16 AM

OJ and Skim milk, the norm.

CRussel · 04-16-2012, 12:39 PM

Back to work. This will be an intense week, I suspect, as I try to get everything configured and working so I can do this round of documentation. Lots of setup and tweaking needed, much more than usual

Finishing off my morning fresh squeezed OJ. Now brewing: Peet's Major Dickason's

CRussel · 04-16-2012, 07:08 PM

Was: Peet's Scottish Breakfast

Now: Lapsang Souchong, even though the rain has stopped for the moment.

Stitchawl · 04-16-2012, 08:29 PM

Everybody talkin' 'bout the seventh son
In the whole wide world there is only one

And I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
The one they call the seventh son

I can tell your future, it will come to pass
I can do things to you make your heart feel glad
Look in the sky, predict the rain
Tell when a woman's got another man

I'm the one, oh I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
The one they call the seventh son

There aren't many like Mose Allison!

Good morning, all. Running late so it will be a quite mug of Twining's "Prince of Wales" tea at double strength, and a bowl of muesli before heading off to class. My students only have a couple more days to lock down their skills before they take their test.

Red Rose tea with milk and sugar along with Mockingjay the third part of the Hunger Games Trilogy which is awesome by the way, and watched the movie of the first book last night which was pretty good too.

Drinking some hot coffee to start the morning well
