Morning all. Fog went away yesterday around noon and it promptly warmed up. Sunny and clear with little moisture so off to mow the yard...again...in January.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 32 & blue skies here in Sheridan. 12 and blue skies up at Bravo. Headed back to Bravo later this morning.
Had a higher than normal city water bill Jan 2nd. After a lot of checking a week ago, I decided there was a nearly imperceptible leak in the toilet tank. Had to replace the flush handle on it. So, yesterday I was out in the driveway by one of the flood doors on the foundation. I thought I heard water dripping. Got a flashlight and sure enough, had a cold water pipe leaking. This pipe has its own shut off valve so I shut it down. Water stopped but it will be a while before it dries enough for me to crawl under there and fix it. We’ll just have to go awhile with no filtered water, cold water or ice from the fridge fountain. We’ll bring some gallon jugs of well water down with us next week. Coffee this morning with unfiltered city water was ‘cruel & unusual’ punishment!
I’m also worried about next months water bill at Alpha Compound.
