We have had a couple cases of pipe joints pulling apart recently. He is about half way through with his inspections. JT has compiled a list of areas needing attention. There has been two separate occasions of pipes leaking and flooding an entire condo. One was under a kitchen sink and the other under a bathroom sink. The latest was in Building 1418. Thankfully no damage was report/found in adjoining condos but what a tragedy for the owners of the flooded units. If you haven't inspected your water lines lately, it may be something to consider. It was reported that an outside spigot was leaking. Action has been initiated to repair the leak. Thanks for watching out for those types of things and reporting them. The old document shredder died. Joanne, our Association's Secretary, has ordered a new one for our office. Building 1449 #6 had a roof leak repaired. A possible leak in the wall of a unit in Building 1411 was investigated. No new moisture was found. JT will keep an eye on it. A possible new leak in the roof of the Club House was report. Ben has been notified. It will be inspected ASAP. Page 3

Never pull away from the gasoline pump... with the hose still in the tank. Watch more television it IS the "window into the world", right? Stop procrastinating... I think I just might start next month. Enjoy the sweeter side of life M&Ms, Hershey kisses, and cheesecake and... Gain some weight I think I caught a glimpse of one of my ribs in the mirror yesterday. Read something this year... other than the comics. Thoughts to ponder... Maybe pick one or two to put into practice in the New Year. Spend quality time with friends and family, in person or on the phone, at least once a week. Take time to write down and express gratitude for the positive things happening in your life. Communicate mindfully -- practice speaking in a way that is honest, helpful, yet doesn't offend or hurt others. Reflect on all the small and big ways in which people are helping you. Feel joy for another's success even if it is the same success you were hoping for. From December 28 th article in Huffington Post by Gadadhara Pandit Dasa. Page 4
