Running Toilet Runs Well Dry

Did you know that a running toilet can run your well dry? Well, we found out the hard way today when we ran out of water. Unbeknowst to us, all three of the toilets in the house had been running non-stop for who knows how long.

The first question Bill from Tim Conlan Plumbing asked me when he arrived was if any of the toilets in the house were running. Who knew that was the root of our problems?

Anyway, about Bill and Tim Conlan Plumbing - fast, efficient and economical! Once we realized what the problem was, he explained to my husband what needed to be done, shut off the valves to the toilets and then showed me how to re-fill the hot water tank.

Thank you Bill and Tim Conlan Plumbing

Found this VERY cool video on YouTube the other day and I wanted to share it...

Fun on YouTube!

I recently discovered Windows Movie Maker (that comes pre-installed on a Windows based computer.) While it's very rudimentary, it does allow you to take video clips and put them together to create a larger "movie" file.

While out on the motorcycle the other week, I took video clips with my camera while cruising through Newtown, CT. Then I put them together, with some transition effects, background music and voiceover narrating the views into a short video clip that I called "Views from the Honda 650 Nighthawk."

I posted the video up on YouTube (just for fun). It's been up a week and has been viewed 70 times! Someone even rated it Awesome! How cool is that?

Here's the video, you can also view it at www.youtube.com.
