Double gorgeous here starting at 53F and predicted to reach 76F.

Our kitchen drain is finally repaired and the front walk replacement contractor due this morning. The break in the drain was at a 45-degree fitting where it slopped down to the main sewer line and was broken by a tree root. $6K and change for the drain line and another $3K plus change for the walkway replacement.

My son is 55 years old today!

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance. The acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?" "Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." "Triple filter?" "That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to say to me is true?" "No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and...." "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. "Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?" "No, on the contrary...." "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?" "No, not really...." "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?" The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why he never found out that Plato was banging his wife.

Mornin' folks :)

Notadamnthing on my immediate daily agenda (yet) haha.
That does not in any way indicate that I DO NOT have shit
to do of course. Life is a continuous cycle of maintenance
I've come to understand. Some things take priority of course.
Some stuffs can go on a 'back burner'. Today will be comprised
of doing a few of those back burner items.

Since it is cool and mostly cloudy, I will go out w/ some ISO,
a scrubby pad, bucket of soapy water, climb up on the hood
of my truck and then attempt to remove the thin layer of sap
on the windshield.
Fun stuff haha but... needs a doin' :) My eyesight is bad
enough already and is worsened by the 'filmy' windshield.

Waiting on the tenants ds to arise so I can water the gals.
The floors in this 101 yo. old dame are squeaky and since
my grow is above their bedroom, the plants won't keel over
if I wait another hour or so.
I will be considerate of the neighbors sleepy time :)

What did Socrates have to say about humor?
