A good plumber

Note that as of Mar 17, 2009 I discovered the 'fake $5' is actually just an older note.

M called the plumber as we have been having a partial clog in our kitchen sink the past few days. He had come over back in August to help us. After about an hour, he realized he didn't have the proper tools as he's a main drain specialist as opposed to being a regular plumber. He remembered us as the 'fake $5 people'. The good part of the story is, he recommended a good, reasonable plumber and refused to take any money himself. He says that's how he builds his customer base, by treating people fairly.

Don't know why we are having so much trouble with grease buildup in our kitchen sink though. We had it cleared a couple of years ago, then back in August it was a main drain problem as opposed to the kitchen line. Anyway, we have to wait until Tuesday to find out. These things always seem to happen on a long weekend. Fortunately, it's just a partial clog.

I got a couple of pumpkin pies with cans of whipped cream at a local supermarket, so we're all set for Thanksgiving.
