Jon, I had lunch with my daughter and my ex today while the plumber was using some kind of small earth-moving digger to get down to the lines near the meter box at ex's house. He learned at this month's meter reading that there was a water leak, it turned out to be between the house and the meter and most of the line is under concrete. They had to dig a hole deep enough to then bore under the driveway somehow . . . not sure how the whole operation went, but he got a call as we were leaving a shopping stop that the plumber had finished. There will be dirt piled and a big bill at the end of that. We all live in hopes to avoid that kind of repair. Good luck with the washer!

Daughter is getting married at the courthouse on Friday, just the two of them. She likes the story that her dad and I got married just us at the courthouse where we were living back then, and then went out to lunch at Wendy's. They're going out to lunch at Dairy Queen. :) She's going to invite everyone to a reception this winter. (When Roe V Wade was overturned they decided to do it soon - the underpinnings are the same between that and the marriage equality decision. Get married before it's too late.)
