Amazing how many holidays I have seen. At my age they do run together even the Hallmark ones like Valentines. It’s just an excuse to give a gift to someone you love. I don’t need an excuse. I would like to cut back on “holiday inflation/expansion”. We, as a country, hardly need all the special days and holidays. They have proliferated. Maybe we should cut them down to the special five or four. Scarcity makes them more precious? I don’t know. But I would probably not have this day on the list.
I have a few things to do this morning. The bank, finally. Then Haughn’s to get my TPMS sensor replaced. They broke it when I had my tires changed a couple days ago. Then a visit with my real estate agent about the well testing done for our house sale. Se me the tester from Eaton Pump in Woodland CA, name is Dan, is a complete moron. Not someone you would want in your house. He tested and found two things that don’t exist to be a problem. Also, I have specialized well filtration installed for water softening and water filtration. The filters take virtually all chemicals and bacteria out of the water. This moron from Eaton Pump states in his report, “bacteriological filter not present”. So stupid and BLIND. What an idiot. Oh, best part, since he left I have been having problems with air in the water lines and low pressure. So we got an inspection and demolition all in one courtesy of Dan Morris of Eaton Pump. Now I have to have a competent pump repair done by Victor at Worsham Pump. They are local to where I live and appear to be good at it. They have worked on my pump for the last 15 years. Maybe they can get this done correctly.
So pump guy called. He did what I thought he would. He told me he could not figure out how he concluded what he did. Victor thought, from inspection of well, that he also pulled a bad water sample. So not a very good inspection. But Victorbis the guy that has worked on my pump the last 15 years. I think the other guy wants work. That’s how the septic inspection went.
Work was the usual cluster fun. Lots of taxes, etc. a client came in and brought us three heart shaped boxes of See’s candy. How sweet. Nuts and chews, my fave.
I went to the bank to finish opening my new LLC bank accounts. The gal who had helped me prior was out till next Tuesday on persona leave. And no one else could do it. What the fuck? Because she started it, she needs to finish it. So I asked, if Lori (the gal) dropped dead that means I would never get an account open? This bank has 25 branches u know. Banker I was speaking to said a manager could override this. But no manager was available. They want me to wait and come back next week. Fantastic service, just great. Fuckers.
After this joy, back to work and more taxes. Headed home round 6.
We had a nice Valentine dinner. Steak and sweet potatoes. Nice bottle of wine. Emily, as usual, overdid it on V day gifts. She does love holidays. They were very nice, as always. My wife loves me.
Maybe an hours worth of bad TV and off to bed.
