Only a couple of days to go before I head out.  I may not get to see my brother after all.  He has to take his lady friend to have cataract surgery.  Hopefully we can work something out before I head to Ft. Lauderdale.  I don't know how long the surgery takes but he has to have her there by 6:00 a.m.  I told him I was hoping we could at least give each other a hug.
Will do some more cleaning and laundry today....after I get my hair trimmed. 
Went down to the pond yesterday and made sure the pipe was cleared.  Really need to get to the faucet on the other side of the dam.  The volume of water coming out is increasing so I need to get to it to see if I can shut it off.  It's probably going to take a good dose of WD40.  Hopefully when J is up here he'll be able to cut a path down to it.  The good side of it is that with the increase in volume there's less build up at the pipe. 
Guess I'd better get a move on and get something done.  Y'all have a decent day and .....take time to listen.
