So... in our first week in the bar we've had some ups and downs.
We'll start with the downs:
1. Bad Pipes - I noticed that the pipes beneath the kitchen sink were leaking just a bit, so Clif tightened them, which was just enough pressure to make the entire bottom portion of the pipes rust out. Don't worry, Wal-mart carries a full line of kitchen sink replacement pipes. Only took a little while for Clif to have them all replaced and in good shape.
2. Bad Breaker. On our first night in the old saloon, the air went out. I called my aunt the next morning (because we're subleasing from her) and she called the owner, who sent a repair man out. Turns out the air conditioner is fine, but the breaker it's connected to had a short in it. The one problem, the air man isn't allowed to fix. So, when Clif got home from work, we headed to our local Ace Hardware for a breaker. 10 minutes later, a new air conditioner.
3. Bad Scorpions. Now, I can't talk much about this, because it gives me the creeps. But yes, 3 scorpions have been spotted/killed since we moved in. I sprayed the entire inside and outside perimeter with bug killer. We'll see if it doesn't any good.
So here's a summary for the downs of living this week.
Replacing the bad pipes............... $14.73
Replacing the bad breaker............. $19.97
Spray to kill scorpions................ $6.98
Living in a bar.....................Priceless
Ok, time for some good news. The ups of living in a saloon...
umm, give me a minute, umm, oh yeah, the rent is only $350 :)
This week's favorite Sheriff Report Incident: "Couple on Big Lake going through a Divorce. All major stuff named by Judge during Divorce Trial as to who gets what…Apparently forgot to mention the electric blanket. Both had an end, pulling in opposite directions."
No folks, this stuff is not made up, these are the people our officers are spending their time with... Oh brother!
Happy Trails 'til next time.
