Water inlet hose repair goes awry

Working at Home Depot turned out to be a good idea. It took several trips into the store to finally come up with a collection of parts that would work in the confined spot I had available. The repaired inlet should work but I'm not really satisfied with the kludgy make-do nature of the repair.

Playing and Learning and Loving

..There is a Byzantium, but not the one Yeats writes about. There is another country the aging occupy and which we share with children. Its borders are formed by the animal that arises in puberty and subsides with the onset of wisdom. It is a land where seven and seventy are kin. Where there are no concerns other than playing and learning and loving. The inhabitants of this land are in no hurry. Our days are dense with experiences. We have, as the Spanish say, more time than life.
