Take that, entropy!

I think it is perfectly justified to feel tremendously self-satisfied if, after eight months of it languishing on your To Do list, you finally replaced your garbage disposal. And fixed the slow-draining sink in the bathroom. Anand helped with the garbage disposal. He and I took off the old one, and he did the wiring for the new one; he says that if you went to Charles River Tech, you have a special relationship with the electrons and they won't hurt you. But he had to catch his train, and I finished the rest by my ownself.

The broken sprinkler is still defying me, which pisses me off, because I have met and dominated its much larger wild cousins. But I'm getting surer that I am going to have to dig out and replace the entire riser. I've been trying to avoid that.
