Day Ten: Everyone is home, hence the boy was up exceptionally early considering the movie lasted until almost 10pm last night. He quietly went to the basement to finish a season of hockey on the video game he had started the day before... you could hear his play by play accounts of the action for hours before we gave up and started the day. He came up and for some reason wanted to make Crumpets... Some days I wonder where he gets these notions from, but sure we can do that for breakfast... he finds a recipe and gets started... I head into help, seriously he needs to make butter too... not that we are out, but you need fresh butter to go on the crumpets once they are made... Heather mentioned that she feels sorry for his future wife... you go to his profile on Netflix and there are cartoons and cooking shows... maybe more cooking shows... You think he would be bigger eating like this all the time... but no. Damn, I think the wife has been randomly walking through the kitchen all day and just eating butter... and that's why we can't have nice things. Need to finish cleaning the hockey gear, it's stacked up in the kitchen, meh, maybe tomorrow. We never did fine the new biome with all the SoulSand in it... we looked for that way too long before something constructive came about... Fixing the dishwasher (DON'T Ever buy an LG Dishwasher)… now I have no idea what half wit designed this piece of garbage but it seems there is a float in it to turn things on and off at different water levels... now picture the dirty water floating about inside the dishwasher... now explain to me the rational of a 3 foot long horizontal hose linked to a tank with floats in it that uses the dirty water from the dishwasher to operate on... dirt goes in, water comes out, dirt goes in, water comes out, rinse cycle, water goes in (because the dishes are clean now) and water and dirt comes out, then sprays all over the dishes... nice. So I've cleaned out the hose (DIRT, doesn't even begin to describe the shit that came out and there was definitely a reason I was washing the dishes by hand when they came out of the machine), I cleaned the tank, the floats, at this point it looks like it goes right back into the main assembly so tomorrow I get to crack that open and see if I can get the filth out of it... if not I'm just buying a new dishwasher, I'm not spending 400$ on parts for a machine with a design flaw that just spews shit all over the dishes then bakes it on... it the end the dishes were coming out worse than they went in... needless to say I'm not impressed. Now there is 4 bags of hockey gear in my kitchen, a good portion of the stuff from the dining room (don't ask), and the stuff from under the sink and the dishwasher and the parts from inside the dishwasher and tools and ARGH!!! Oh and the KitchenAid mixer is on the floor too... there's another piece of crap we own, had a Cuisinart stand mixer and the wife upgraded to this gem, I finally gave up on it this morning making butter, tossed it aside, got out the hand whisk and did it by hand... I don't know what country they make this crap in now but it's not even close to the old Hobart stuff. Wuhan, no new cases... looks like we are down to only 4 more days and the whole world will be back to normal because we have all been practicing Social Distancing... I talked to a friend today that wasn't clear on the topic... I told him it's kinda different up here, he asked how so... I said, We have lived here for almost 15 years, how many times have you come to visit... BTW the answer is 0... see, social distancing.
