    Unfortunately it is coming through the wall. It's a small amount. Water loss is very small, but it leaks on to steel beams that support everything. Chlorine on steel, no bueno.

    For various reasons have not used the spa in several months. Turned it on today and there is a leak which appears to be coming from a line which feeds the jets. All the lines are in the wall that forms the outside of the spa. Any way to diagnose and fix this other than starting the demolition of the wall?

    I'm sure it works, and as a bonus I imagine it keeps away snakes, but the stank. I couldn't take the stank.

    It's a stone house and I think I'm good at the foundation around the perimeter, so I guess windows, doors and attic are letting scorpions in. I hate scorpions. Any experience, opinions re: type and technique?

    If there is such a thing as "The Austin Sound" it is Bill Campbell.

    I don't know what that is but that's not a foot, at least not a terrestrial foot.

    While you're at Anderson go have a meal in the main dining room. It's a little better than standard hospital food, but that's not the point. The point, just sit and look around you. You are sitting in a forest of IV poles with the strongest, bravest, baddest men, women and children ever to inhabit the earth. Teenagers, little kids, old people. They are fighting the hardest fight of their lives. A fight that, dear God, I hope I never have to fight. Those people are heroes to me. For me, it was a spiritual experience which I will carry with me forever. You may want to think twice about taking your wife with you. Wait until you think she can take the emotional experience. It brought tears to my eyes and I wasn't even a patient. I was just a little man, sitting and having lunch with a group of giants.

    Can I trust the tailor at Nordstrom? If not, who in Austin? Gassaner ruined a blazer, so I'm not going there.

    Agree but the purpose of the wipes is the application of the witch hazel so both actions are needed. I guess I thought the bidet would be assumed. My mistake.

    Miralax mixed with a healthy dose of Metamucil. Adjust to your personal preference. Follow up with Tux wipes. Keep the Tux wipes container, fill it with unscented baby wipes then fill with witch hazel. Homemade Tux wipes.

    Bissell Crosswave, which one and which doodads to get and to avoid?

    The people who make Pierre Ferrand Cognac make Citadelle Gin in the off season in order to keep their still going when there are no grapes available to make their cognac. You gin connoisseurs might give it a try.

    I've finished most chores and now just sitting in the waiting room while getting car worked on, so I will add another thought. Prostate cancer guys, don't dawdle. The primary (the prostate gland) is a relatively "easy" cancer, but if you fiddle fuck around and let it metastasize you should look for your important papers and go over them with your family. I don't know why, but prostate metastatic lesions will lead you down a trail of miserable treatments for a couple of years ending in death. More on the dribbles, I read a post in a prostate cancer forum once. The quote: "A dead man has little use of a dry pair of Levis". Have a nice day.

    Judge, study up on the biopsy. As I understand it, there have been advances since I had my 3 10+ years ago. Yes. 3!! We knew it was there, the doc just couldn't hit the right spot. Back then it was a hit or miss deal. I think now they are using some sort of scan or ultrasound to guide the needle. I'd look for you, but as I said above, "I've got shit to do"...oh hell, I'll put off the chores for a few seconds and recount the experience. They stick some tool up your butt. I think it looks something like the speculum they use on women to open up the vag to do cervical biopsies. To tell the truth I didn't really look. I pretty much gritted my teeth and closed my eyes. Anyway, through this speculum they insert some sort of dart gun that shoots in a needle that takes sort of a core sample of the prostate. Damn thing sounded like a kids cheap dart gun. The needle itself didn't hurt much, but that speculum in the butt was...uncomfortable.

    I spent all the time I'm going to looking through old posts to see what your cancer is. I got shit to do. From the 05/15 post it looks like prostate. Control. Yeah. That's a thing. Learn what is going to make you leak and start doing a Kegel and hold it through the activity. Learn what sets it off. For me it's bending down to tie my shoes. It's been 10 years and I still forget sometimes. On days when you don't have time to deal with it (changing pants etc) put on a panty liner. If anybody in your house gives you shit about it show them the liner and strut around like Jagger. Adopt a mantra, mine is "I don't have cancer. I don't have cancer". You can borrow that if you want. I also like to chant "undetectable" and fist pump sometimes.

    If she can wield that skillet you best be judicious with the stern words.

    I'm an old band guy. Long ago before dj"s. A million frat parties. New Orleans Club, Jade Room. Club Saracen. That was all great...but...it was isolated...for the most part indoors. This by way of saying I'm not opposed to music, but not on every damn corner! When I'm on the trail I want to hear the sounds of nature, not some up and coming band that may, or may not, be in tune. I don't care if they're on a cool floating stage. I want to hear the birds! The Trail of Lights has been completely ruined by turning it in to an outdoor concert. Enjoy the lights. Enjoy your fellow walkers and the Spirit of the Season. Leave off the loud music. Every event or Grand Opening doesn't have to have a band. Signed, Old Band Guy. Emphasis "old".

    I took my grandkids to see Little Shop of Horror off broadway a couple of weeks ago so the Feed Me Seymour comment made me smile. The woman who played Audrey was hot af and had a voice the match of Ellen Greene, and that's saying something IMHO. The next night we went to The Met and saw Madame Butterfly. Third time I've seen it and it still makes me all weepy, but hey, it's Butterfly. What cha' gonna do? You don't weep at Butterfly you got no heart, maybe no soul.

    Well, now I feel guilty about shaming you into yard work. If you got any energy left after dragging those hoses all over the yard I'd be interested in your thoughts on the machine and the zapping and all that.
