We still had flooding this morning. Sun came out. It was 32° when I got up. Strong winds all day. Went and picked up a new ditch watcher. The old one went dead. It was 20 years old. It worked perfectly until it didn’t. Rather than try to fix I figured I’d just buy a new one. I bought it online and it was ready to pick up by the time I got there. I stopped and bought a dolly on the way home. Couldn’t use the dolly on the stairs, waste of money. I had to arm bruster it up the stairs. Disconnected the plumbing and the screws holding it to the counter top. When I pulled it out I found the power cord had become disconnected. I reconnected it and turned it on and it worked. I bought a new ditch watcher I didn’t need.
I bought same brand and model I bought twenty years ago so connecting it up would be easy. Wrong, they changed one of the fittings so I sent Judie on a parts run to Ace. She came back with a complete ditch watcher installation kit. All I needed was one fitting. They told her they don’t sell the fitting separately. I had it up and running within a half hour. We washed the dishes and they came out clean. Now I’m ready for a beer.
