A quiz

Day 166, "Every picture has a story"
So this picture is of course 4 in 1.  I would say the upper left is in St. Paul.  The upper right and the lower left is moving day for Amy and Aaron.  My story today is the lower right.  First, I think Aaron needed new pants!  Wait, that is the rage now as I see it on TV all the time!  Anyway Aaron and Amy are in their new home (not the wonderful home they now live in) and they think they need the water pipes replaced.  We travel to Madison to help out.  As you can see Amy was a big help BUT I do believe Aaron and I did most of the work.  We cut, replaced, put together and sweat pipes pretty much ALL day long.  As the day came to an end, if I remember correctly, we only had 1 or 2 joints that had to be redone but ALL the water pipes were replaced with copper.  Back in those days (maybe 2003 or so) it was a walk in the park kind of day.  If I were to do that today it would be a HARD day!  Yes I am about 20 years older now!  Anyway Amy and Aaron were happy to get the  job finished and all in one day, way to go!

My schedule today was for tennis at 9:00.  I ate breakfast at 7:30 and then sat down to look at the computer.  Within a few minutes the thunder told everyone that rain is here and there will be NO tennis this morning.  So here I sit, at 8:50 writing and thinking about what I will do the rest of the day.  

I think it is a 'settle back" kind of day with the corner lamp on the pages of a good book!  Oh, wait a minute I do have some work to be done, I think.

Here is my quiz for the day as I do not know the purpose of this.  The top of it attaches to your faucet and the bottom attaches to your hose.  All around the top round part are holes.  As a person turns on the water it comes out the holes until you turn it on all the way and then it is supposed to stop!  Well this thing broke so the water did not stop.  Ignore the nail in the side!  I had to do that in order to get it off the end of the hose.  WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?  I think guys who are more handy than I, guys like John M or Dave L might know.  I just do not know the reason for it.

Enough for today.  Rain rain you are so welcome!  FP is finished for now and "for sure" it was very good!
