I think 2012 is going to be the year of repairs around here. So far, we have already had to send off the Wii to get it fixed, and I had to install a new hood release into my wife’s Civic. Over the weekend, I had to tackle a new repair: a leaky faucet.

The faucet in our bathtub has been dripping water, and the problem has gotten to the point where it’s almost a steady stream. I decided to take it apart in hopes I could stop the leak. I had to run to the hardware store once I had it taken apart, as my wife doesn’t know the difference between an ip 119 and any other small part sold for repair.

In the end, the man at the store gave me the wrong size of the part I needed…so the drip is still present. Hopefully I can make it back to the store this week so that the leak can be fixed.

I heard about www.expertsatellite.com from a colleague of mine and she was right – I was really missing out. I think she got tired of trying to tell me about the Real Housewives and me having no idea what she was talking about but at the end of the day I really like all the shows I get on BRAVO. I used to think cable was a waste of money but TV has sure come a long way since back then. There’s something to be said for not having to watch the nightly news or Jeopardy – as it turns out my taste is totally trashy reality stuff! I love being able to get home at night from my stressful job and just take a load off…there’s something to be said for not having to worry about whether or not I’m going out or going to a bar – getting a dog changed all that. Now all I have to say is “oh, I have to go home and let the dog out!” and people listen!

Though I’m not much of a country boy, my family had horses back when my brother and I were growing up. We had them in a pasture on the other side of town. Where we lived, there wasn’t room for any animals larger than a cat or dog. We didn’t have anything fancy like chaps or riding boots to use when we rode them, but it may have been easier on us if we had. I can remember riding so long that I was completely sore the next day. I wouldn’t want them now because they are a lot of work to keep, but back then, they lots of fun.
