Congratulations, if you are reading this, I have some earth shattering news, I'm human. Yes I have actually procrastinated in getting my thoughts put together for the day, which, I actually find odd due to the fact that I truly have enjoyed this writing experience. Nevertheless, I've waited right up until the last minute and now feel the pressure to come up with something mind-blowing.
With that being said, there's nothing quite like spending half of your day in the crawl space of a house to give you something somewhat interesting to talk about and/or lead you to drink. Scratch that. One could have the added opportunity of repairing and replacing broken sewer pipe.
It's funny the things you forget when you've been cramped in a small and strange place for any length of time. Things like, disconnecting the drain pipe from the toilet, venturing above grade to stretch out, move around, use the restroom, FLUSH THE TOILET. It's uncanny how much water really does go down the drain with each flush.....or so I've heard. Needless to say, happy-hour came a little early, along with a fresh set of clean, dry clothes.
Due to the fact that the days affairs had created an unquenchable thirst, I met my friend Monty at Sockeye Brewing for one of their many award winning craft beers. Yes, as if there could be any question, I'm quite confident that when Sockeye reads this they will be so proud of the fact that their brewery is mentioned in the TOILET post. In any event, I procrastinated, partly due to the fact that I was sitting on a stool in their fine establishment enjoying a malted-hopped beverage and some fine conversation.
When it was all said and done, I'm quite sure that Monty and I had solved the worlds problems with five words, "in quiet there is strength." No matter what you are facing in life, no matter what you have to overcome, remember those words. Don't be afraid of time alone, it's an opportunity to center yourself. I just don't think it was in the crawlspace!
Cheers
Well my friend I have to say, I am all about time alone, though I'm very glad that you were there to share the sewer pipe with me.
