"It's a good man that knows his limitations"

Harry Callahan actually said "A man has got to know his limitations." He was American. The way you have it written makes him sound like a British cop

Not the sewer but my bathtub drain plugged up during one of the worst rainstorms I have ever seen on a work night. It took me about 6 hours laying in the dirt under my house to fix. I learned more than I ever wanted to about plumbing.

The same reason my A/C died on a 100* Saturday morning on a holiday weekend. 
I learned then that when you start calling, say you are calling to get some quotes on a unit IN CASE it goes out. You never tell them that is has already gone out. What's the difference?? About 400 bucks!
I 'lived' out in the workshop that weekend (has separate AC unit) and had the main unit replaced that Tuesday to avoid the $200 overtime charge.
When in the workshop, I discovered i had a family of skunks living underneath. That started "Rob & Mark's great skunk fiasco of 2004".
Mark is my neighbor that helped me to eradicate them. That was quite a story for sure.
Like I believe, trouble usually comes in sets.

Cause sewers are rotten and selfish and know how to screw you out of a weekend of golfing,fishing, hunting etc. Sewers also belong to a little known union whose code is to "not work" in the dark.
Other than that, I have no clue. Last time I tried to keep a preventive maintenance program going on my hot water tank, the pressure release valve stuck open. Yup, it was about 8:00 pm. (don't even ask) So now, I just wait for stuff to break or wear out. There is no escape.....

You know plumbers love kids who do that!
I am convinced that WHAT one puts down the drain helps determines the number of plumber visits. I have been very lucky so far. After 15 years, i have never had a plumber out, nor the plunger. I live alone, don't cook, and never really have guests over.
Of course I shouldn't be saying anything too loudly... With my luck a bird will drop a tennis ball down the soil stack vent on the roof, right about now.
