Before we leave for a big trip, there's always some sort of "emergency" situation that arises in the final week that requires us to add to our to-do list - buy a new water heater, figure out why we don't have a dial tone, patch the leaky roof. This time it's "call the Whirlpool guy and get him to make the washing machine start spinning again." Oh yeah, and after he's gone get up on the roof with the power snake and clean out the sewer system to keep water from backing up into our garage.
So yesterday we somehow managed to hoist this 70 pound piece of machinery 12 feet up to the top of our house with only muscle power and a ladder. Amazingly, we didn't break anything and managed to fix the problem. Our drains have never worked so well.
Four days to go until we board the plane for our 18-hour flight. We're both looking forward to escaping talk of politics and the American economy. It'll be refreshing to spend our vacation with people who don't care so much about all that.
