Day 4 - 171 -- Water Running Everywhere

Dark cloud filled the day along with a warm, heavy air mass . It seemed claustrophobic and suffocating. The big wind today was cooler than yesterday, making walking to work and back easier. Registration for fall courses began this week. Many people have been working to smooth over the software glitches that make this process less easy than planned for the students. The morning involved much of this paper work.

By early afternoon, I packed up the work to complete for tomorrow and headed home. The plumbers came to investigate and fix the leaky pipe in the basement ceiling. Luckily, most of the dripping was over the bathtub. Some, though, ran inside the wall and out onto the floor in the room next to the bathroom. From there, gravity took over and it ran into the hallway and under the opposite wall. The leak was in an area that was not easy to access -- directly above the wall behind several other lines. The guys managed to replace the area in less time than I expected. Ceiling tiles will need to be replaced once things have a chance to dry out, which seems impossible given the humidity level at present. While they worked, I got through most of one large assignment I'm altering for Fall. I finished that by supper after the workers were gone. The other task was done after supper. So -- I should be all ready for tomorrow. 

Heavy rain showers arrived just after supper and lasted for a couple of hours. That event along with the leak downstairs made me think of a band from decades back. While the song lyrics may not fit the topic of the day, the Canadian band definitely does.  Enjoy!
