I've been noticing Ranger's posts lately. Seems as if an awful lot of appliance and vehicular failures are happening at that end of the state. I was kind of congratulating us on avoiding such shenanigans with our washer or dryer or windshield.
Oops.
This morning I got up to get ready for work. I was sitting in the living room chair, talking to T. when I heard a splish. We spoke some more. (Splish.) I asked if he heard the sound. He said no. (Splish.)
It sounded like it was coming from the air conditioning closet. There is a line that leads outside for drips and splishes and the guy who installed our replacement unit added an inside line for us in case the outside line gets backed up. We put a large container under the end of the line in the closet. I heard water splish-splashing into the container. Inside the house.
T. went outside and said the line wasn't draining into the yard. When he came back in, he dipped the excess water out of the bin and then we called the guy who did the work for us and (sorry!) apparently woke him up. He very nicely said he'd stop by this evening and blow out the line so the water would start going out in the yard again which is where we really, really want it. Things could be worse. Before the new unit came to live in our closet, we used to not know the drain to outdoors was backed up until we squelched across the dining room rug and felt the water ooze up between our toes. Now that will wake you up!

They may be taking inanimate and passive revenge for our abandoning them. Or working them so hard, as in the case of the car. It had never been asked to climb like a monkey, before.
LOL - as long as it didn't head off into the trees! Wonder if cars can breathe at high altitudes...
Too right about the trees, especially those which seemed to be holding the mountainside together.
