malada: Canadian flag text I stand with Canada (Default)

I slept in. I did laundry. Mopped the floors. Vacuumed. Pretty standard Saturday.

Tried out one of the latest nightly builds of Haiku (it's still in Beta). It was disappointing. Word processing, graphics creation and web browsing are all okay - sound and video programs.... need some work.

Discovered the kitchen sink was clogged. Removed trap and cleaned it out. Yuck. Discovered the trap seals were worm out by some nasty leaks. Ran with housemate to Home Depot at 7:15 at night to buy replacements. Replacement gave me attitude until I finally figured it out. Housemate was helpful holding light and keeping my spirits up. We letting the sink area dry before resuming operations. We're hoping there aren't other leaks because the pipes getting jostled.

I don't know if doing plumbing work on New Years Day is a sign of anything - I'm just glad we figured it out and didn't have to call the plumbers.
