November 4th

While waiting for the plumber to show up and fix the water leak, I headed out to the airport to kill some time with my November Far West Lake flyby.

The plumber showed up and we agreed it was probably best to replace a whole chunk of pipe - he (and the Water Wise dude) was surprised that the pressure relief valve was even still working at this age, and it would have needed to be cut out.  So, several hours later, it's all shiny and new, with 90 degree shutoffs rather than taps.  Now we just need to leave it overnight for the glue to fully cure.
