Noisy morning here with an early phone call followed by a thunderstorm. I'm now in the repairman arrival window, so lots of churn in the house. The dogs might stay in the garage if I put them out in the back yard, but Pepper hates the thunder and it would be much louder out there.   

Surprising how much stuff is stored around the washer. Washing products and battery tools, a short ladder and mops and brooms. I used a small transfer pump for about 20 gallons of the water and what remains will allow for testing and is little enough so we can move the machine.

Ongoing over the weekend the new gardening website is under repair. The gardening guru's daughter set up this GoDaddy site for him and they were both confused about the continual site down codes, but every time we put out a podcast that brings more traffic, it made the problem worse. I spelled it out in a Simple English email with easy descriptions and bold quotes from the guy who set up the site (he discussed a couple of higher-traffic plans they could convert to). After that she called to change the plan and migrate to a more robust system (will take a couple of days). I'm taking that time off.
