And I am in a good mood. I would save you, Joe if you fainted again.

I hate playing plumber, I feel your pain. I had to replace the o rings in the spindles too. At one point when I turned the water back on, I had a fountain out of one spindle. One stainless seat wouldn't bed properly because I couldn't dress the old brass seat. Eventually, I had to chip away at tiles to give my seating tool enough room to get into the fitting properly and get the job done. Then there was barely enough meat left in the fitting to cut a thread for the stainless seat. Then I had to go find some loctite pipe seal so that the stainless seat wouldn't leak. The whole exercise nearly bought me to tears. The saving grace was Sharyn coming home from netball and finding me a beer.

Sharyn sounds like a saint.

I could do without the 80's. I liked the 60's and I'm pretty fond of the 10's.

Yup, she's a keeper. I'm even letting her sleep in, just because it's Muthas Day.

^ I keep thinking that is a can of NOS in that pic, but surely that's not 80's? Just similar coloring? I'm some what certain it isn't, I think the cap is on the wrong side for the orange side to be facing the camera, it just reminds me of it.Stuff used to be good, but they changed their ingredients and it doesn't agree with me anymore.

Rick can really pull off the rock star look.

That was a cup of coffee from McD's.
Oh if Beth ever drank an energy drink I think half the population of the central Va area would vanish.

You can bring it out and use the HOT pressure washer if you need to really degrease!

Yup... Owning all the trucks with lots of hydraulic oil, it's a necessity.
