Day went by just fine, I was done helping my wife doing dishes after dinner. As I left kitchen she started screaming... OMG there is flood of water coming from neighbor's house. We live in a condo and share walls with neighbors, isn't it normal to blame poor neighbors when any thing goes wrong in our house. Well I scrambled for my glasses and flash light to find out where this geyser was coming from. Wife announced right away it is about time to remodel the kitchen
After fiddling with some flex pipes under the sink behind two dozen cleaning supplies and getting soaked 
and poked by the stranded wires of the hot water line feeding the dish washer, I discovered hot water flex line I installed just 11 years ago was busted. Somehow I fitted myself under the sink (I need to loose 40 lbs) to turn off the valve ... what a relief to stop the flood of water.
After cleaning up the mess I sat down to watch my pre recorded week old ABC World News and Oh My God look at the floods of Mississippi. My family is panicking with this little 3/8"pipe burst, how about those people dealing with the flood waters, there life time's hard work and dreams are going under the water.
I need to remind myself everyday to count my blessings and feel the pain of others. Those are very courageous people living on the banks of Mississippi waiting for the waters to recede and start rebuilding again, I wish them the best.
My Friday was just fine, costed me few dollars this morning to fix the pipe and buy breakfast from Jack in the Box. Their new Big Breakfast burrito is good, try it
