Good morning. Happy Friday!

We made it through Thanksgiving. Mrs. ArGee’s idea of a holiday involved moving furniture, but we also had a nice dinner. Everything was going well until we discovered a drip from the electrical input to the garbage disposal (groan!).

We were going to be looking at a new sink anyway, so now we have a timetable.

Yesterday’s Wordle went better than today’s. Here are both scores.

Good Friday Morning!

Well, we made it through as well... you would think that at our ages we would know better than to overeat like that... sigh...

Same results on the Wordle front...

I don’t think I shared this. On Wednesday, after the electrician corrected one mistake in my wiring the light bulbs still wouldn’t light. About 30 troubleshooting minutes later we found that a 3-way switch had physically broken. At least he didn’t charge an arm and a leg. And we had a well-lit kitchen for Thanksgiving.

A physically broken switch. Who would have guessed?

Glad that it all worked out and he didn’t sock you with a big bill! I’ve seen a couple broken switches over the years... some companies make some real shoddy products... something to keep an eye open for now that you know that one has stopped functioning... obviously the more frequently used switches are the most prone to breaking...

Oddly, I didn’t even remember this fixture had more than one switch. Mrs. ArGee spoke up and said, “There’s one in the dining room.” We actually found a 3rd while probing.

Must have been setup so that you can control that light coming in from all directions!

Not me!

Not enough snow yet.

Maybe by Monday.

Happy Leftovers Day!

I made potato cakes for breakfast.

I think one of the switches was more of a “because we can” switch, but otherwise that’s correct.

Sounds like a nice breakfast.

I had oatmeal. (Said with the tone of voice of Charlie Brown saying, “I got a rock.”)

Did you at least have brown sugar and cream on it?

Maybe some dried fruit and nuts?
