1) When the plumber was here to repair the outside hose bibb near the greenhouse (split in copper water line) I asked why the clothes washer was so slow filling on rinse cycle. Not asking for more of his time, just asking what he thought it might be. He said the screen in the cold water line was probably clogged. We've had that happen with the basement slop sink faucet. So I told the plumber that we'd take care of it. Be sure to turn water off, he said.
1A) That was this morning's to do item. Laundry room is tiny. If washer is moved the door cannot open but we can get out through garage. I had Himself check that front door was unlocked so we could get back into the house. Check. It's good.
1B) Move washer. Not easy. And is it filthy back there. Turn water off. Unhook cold water connector both at machine and at water line. No filter screen. Check hot water line at machine. No filter. Mop floor with a towel where water had dribbled out of hose, which also meant years and years worth of dust was wiped up. Put everything back together, to Himself's satisfaction - he felt the hoses should have been better orientated. Straightened to his satisfaction and paired together with tie wraps. Moved clothes washer back in place. Tested, and rinse cycle now fills more rapidly.
Addendum: first load of laundry completed cycle quicker than before.
2) Next item: Unplugged weather station's electrical connection under desk. Waited about a minute, then plugged back in. It now has it's mind back. Took me longer to edge out from under desk, roll over from back to front, get on all fours, and lurch upright.
3) While waiting for Himself to exit laundry room / exit garage / enter house / go to basement for tie wraps, then reverse direction I moved 17 pots of columbines out of garage where they had been recuperating after being hastily ripped from display bed between front walk and garage on Monday, then potted up.
