Jan. 10th, 2010

I just noticed that I put 2009 on my last post.  I guess it takes a little time to get used to writing the new year especially if you are retired and don’t pay much attention to what day it is much less the year.

It has been super cold the past two days with the temperatures dropping into the low 20s Fahrenheit or –7 Celsius and that is too cold for me to get out unless I really need something.

Mom called Margaret yesterday morning and said she had water on the floor of her utility room and garage.  We thought the worse, thinking she had a busted pipe with the cold weather.  Since Darren lives close, he went over to check it out.  He called me later and told me that some Squirrels had gotten into the utility room and had made a next under the washing machine and had eaten the drain hose and that was the cause of the water.  He turned off the water to the washing machine and I will go over on Monday and replace the hose and try to run the Squirrels out of there but I am not sure how I will do that yet.

Not much else going on except the Cowboys played a great game yesterday and hopefully they will continue their winning ways for a few more weeks.  It would nice to see them back in the Super Bowl.  I am predicting that the Cowboys will beat the Vikings next week and that either the Packers or the Cardinals will beat the Saints and then we will have the NFC Championship game at home and we will win and go on to win the Super Bowl against whoever wins the AFC.  Go Boys.
