Far East Cynic

Preflighting the gear….

As the S.O. and I get ready for our European trip. Had to make sure the camera works:


“You are in for a big suprise in a few days-can you spell, kennel?”

So I chased him around a little bit:

Transferred some older pictures:

And speaking of preflighting the equipment……………

Last night, as is the S.O.’s custom, she went in to the bathroom to get the shower ready for her nightly ritual ( which generally becomes my ritual too if I want any chance of “closing the deal”) of taking a shower before bed. She slid open the door to the shower and turned the water on with out looking up. Now if you remember, when I first moved in here, at her request, I installed a shower head on a hose-in addition to the fixed head-because she likes having a Japanese style shower hose.

Well I think you can figure out the rest-the shower head was cocked towards the shower door. S.O. failed to look up and since we have both taken to using that particular head even in its perch ( it sits higher) the flow valve was already open to the moveable hose. End result? Just as I happen to walk by the door-she takes a shower blast right to the chest, soaking her, her T-shirt, and most of the bathroom. Following a string of Japanese expletives, she turns it off. I might have helped her, but I was too busy laughing my head off.

Guess you had to be there to appreciate it.

Suffice it to say, she was not amused.

And no-I don’t have any pictures.

Always preflight the gear.

  1. OMG what a cutie!

    When we lug our luggage out, the cat gets depressed – he just turns away from us as if to punish us for leaving him alone soon. Completely ignores us and refuses to go out like he usualyl does. He should be thankful that we just get someone in to feed him daily instead of leaving him at the kennel…occasionally we also get someone in to have tea with the cat (I KNOW!!) – they make themselves a cup of coffee or tea and the cat gets a saucerfull of milk.

    spoilt.
