A Dog
A Wet/Dry Vac
A 5/8 crowfoot wrench for a
First the dog: She is not a lap dog and only will want in your lap when she is sick – or I recently discovered when something was seriously wrong.
Next the Wet/Dry Vac: Always used for dry but when I emptied it last week it was ready for wet.
Now the Crowfoot: Bought this 50-40 years ago at a garage sale. One 9/16 and one 5/8. Never used them until today.
First the dog. She is not a lap dog and never will get in my lap unless she is offered a treat or is ill. If she perceives that I have a leash she will not comply. So, when she came into my office and wanted onto m lap I concluded she was ill – not so because she soon jumped down and wanted me to follower her. I later learned that she did this with my wife.
I followed and discovered a kitchen flooded with water from the dishwasher and overflowing into the hallway, family room and elsewhere.
Shop vac: Great for sucking up 60 gallons of water everywhere. I had just emptied the sawdust last week so it was clean. Thank God. Yes, thank God.
Crowfoot? Reattaching the input line was a problem because a 5/8 wrench would allow only about ¼ turn and I rediscovered the 5/8 crowfoot. Now it is secure and will never come off – even if I want it to.
Now on the bright side, the kitchen floor has never been so clean.
