I here the booms starting, guess I will go outside and watch the show.
Fortunately we're not being bothered with rain. But there are some county fools on a damn big orange piece of equipment, busting the concrete in our neighbor's drive, to fix some mysterious water problem -- and our water is off. What a great time to turn off the water, hey? On the 4th of July when people are throwing gunpowder around?!?!?! IDIOTS.

Well I can tell you about being one of those " fools on a damn big orange piece of equipment". The last thing we want to do is come in and work on a holiday. We would much rather be home with our family and friends enjoying the holiday. If they are working it's because a customer called in a complaint for lack of service. Yes it's big and yes it is loud, but that's what it takes to get the job done.
Well, the water's still off, so I may be doing dishes even later in the middle of the night than usual. thank GOD we have the reverse-osmosis filtration thing at the sink; it's got a 3gal tank, so I was able to trickle a little to get the BBQ sauce off my hands!

The dishes can wait until tomorrow if needed.
2 30ml bottlesf Halo to the person who can make the booms stop in the next 5 minutes
Max self-soothes during it by going to sleep and pretends he doesn't hear it. It's my old boy it really bothers. Thunder and fireworks really bother him, so he's been camped out at the food of the bed for ours.mIs it driving your giant fluffy dog crazy?
They seem to have packed it in, around here. Of course it's after 2am, here.

And glad you got water back.....I can live without electricity for a bit, but don't dare turn off my water supply!!!
This time of year, we always have a few flats of bottled water handy. I hate breaking into, though!I was just glad to discover that 3gal tank was full enough that I could get the BBQ sauce off my hands! That stuff is sticky! And it's impossible to eat BBQ chicken, even with a knife and fork (they were boneless breasts), and not get BBQ sauce all over your hands!
