Three runs and a sip.

No leaks that I can detect.  Gotta keep an eye on it, for a while.  A taste of the water was satisfying.  A bit crisper than what I was getting, but not all that different.  Still, it is very good to have r.o. water back on tap.  It is late, but I wanted a cup of coffee, for a final test.  I love my coffee, and have missed it.  Splenda soda is okay, but just barely.  It is better for a cold, different, drink, once in a while.  Not as a stand in for coffee.  Hmm, might have a couple glasses of water while I am at it.  It's a warm day, or... I am feeling warm.  We've had a breeze all day, really, but it's been a hot breeze.  Nothing worth opening the door to enjoy.

I am hoping to hit it a little earlier tonight.  Before 21:00 is the goal, with 6:00 set on the alarm.  I need to run to town in the morning to look for plants, maybe stop at the hardware store for some bolts, and perhaps catch a free and easy meal.  Hmm, might look for a pork roast while in town as well, and mayonnaise.  I have everything else for potato salad.  Maybe a few lemons, to add to a big batch of potato salad?  Yeah... and celery salt.  Fresh chives if they are available, and dill.  Yeah, I know.  If I make too large of a batch, I'll give some away.  I know some folk who always appreciate a spare bite.

Yeah.  Pleased to have the r.o. in, but now to get to some other things.  Gah!  Can't believe how long this has taken.  Oh, I might make some measurements for replacement valves while I am at it.  And add the other valve that I bought while I am doing these other things.  Now that I have a definite way to turn off the water, I'm more secure in spending a bit of time replacing valves.  I really want to be able to turn the water off right here in the house, and in two or three places, beside under the sinks.  It offers flexibility in case of some disaster or other.  Yeah, and I'm... prone to disasters.

Oh, something I noted recently?  You know I told you that I have spooks visit once in a while.  Just little noisemakers, but still.  What I thought was funny is that sometimes my cats notice the noise, sometimes they don't.  But, unlike with "real" noises, I can tell it's probably a spook if they notice, by their actions.  When they notice the "odd" sounds, they don't go to investigate.  They merely look in the direction, rather nonchalantly.  The sounds don't frighten them, when they hear them.  If it is a bat, or such, they will go and try to track it through the walls.  Odd.

Good night.
