I think I am suffering from bloggers block. No, I think I am suffering from, "I don't want to do anything I don't want to do." Unfortunately, I have a lot of things that need to be done, and that mindset is very debilitating.

For example, I have been procrastinating soldering the hot and cold water piping for my new washing machine location. Last week I did all the brand new fittings, and when it came time to connect the new piping to the old I found other things to grab my attention.

The problem is that the piping in my house is very old and corroded. In order to get a good solder joint you have to file and sand the old pipe to get it smooth without a single blemish. Otherwise the solder won't hold, and there is water everywhere.

Today, by the grace of something outside of myself, I managed to cut the old pipes, file, sand and solder them together. Out of 32 solder joints I only had one bad one. It just happened to be the connection to the old piping. So the soldering is done, the water is back on. It took more energy avoiding the job than actually doing it. You would think this old dog would learn......
