Phew, the shower has all new mix valve cartridge. I had to run to the large plumbing supply place to get it. Just as I was getting in the car I got a call from Vinnie of Pelican fame. He is traveling across country back home. He has a cool accent, and would fit right in on the set of the Sopranos. No one is ever surprised if they ask where he is from and he says New Jersey.
Anyway he was still an hour out, so I made my run and got the the place 5 minutes before we were set to meet. It is a place called Pub W, and they have some good on tap beers. He ate lunch as he had not eaten but I had already eaten lunch earlier. We chatted for a couple of hours, and I bought our beers, and he paid for his lunch.
Nice guy. He was headed east last I saw him.
I got home and put the shower back together, and turned the water back on. My wife is out with one of her girl friends going to nurseries looking at plants, not kids!
