Rescue Tape to the Rescue!

If you are at home and you hear water dripping or running somewhere nearby it's never a good sign.  Last week sometime I was at home by myself and heard some kind of water spraying noise outside.  I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought it was just the neighbor lady who has been coming over to feed the birds and water the plants in the front yard.  So off I went that afternoon and didn't get back home until quite late and I forgot all about it.  The next afternoon I heard it again.  Then the neighbor knocked on the door and informed me that the hose that waters the bird feeder had sprouted a big leak and did I know who to call...

Uhhhh.....

my landlady is away for the summer in Vermont...

her son is off on vacation in Mexico for two weeks...

Uhhhh....

Do I know who to call??

NO!   Help, anybody?

....insert cricket sounds here....

So I went up and took a look.  Sure enough there was the leak arching beautifully across the lawn and hitting the awning.... spray... drip... spray... drip...

OK, I can do this!  So off I went to the laundry room /garage in search of...   What am I looking for?  What could I use to fix this?  Duct tape maybe?

And then, there it was hanging oh the wall! Imagine a beam of light coming down and and a chorus singing...

Rescue Tape!   Where have you been all my life.  This stuff is great!  Why had I never heard or seen this stuff before!  There it was in black and white 

"...excellent for emergency hose repair..."

So here's to whoever invented this great stuff... THANK YOU!
