Plumbing 101 - Volume 2 in a series from Real Life

Today I did something I never thought I'd do. I replaced the entire underpinnings of a kitchen sink, including garbage disposal and all accompanying pipes and tubes from the dishwasher. It took some $160, and a hell of a lot of cursing. The most rewarding part is I did it all myself. There is a slight leak up by the air vent for the dishwasher, but that will be dealt with tomorrow. Alittle more blumbers tape will fix that up nicely. In all, this is what it took:

1 pipe wrench
1 roll plumbers tape
1 tub plumbers putty
2 ball peen hammers
1 automotive floor jack
2 4x2 pieces of scrap lumber
1 can Liquid Wrench
1 pair oversized pliers (special tool for semi trucks)
and most importantly....
my back!

Links Update

I've added a nifty new tool on my links menu. It's called ePrompter, and it will keep track of your e-mail inbox for you, so you dont have to keep logging into your e-mail accounts. The best thing is it can keep tabs of 15 e-mail addresses, including work related e-mail if you provide the correct protocol. It's not too technical but its way worth the download. Try it. It has no spyware or trojans to intrude on your privacy. It's 100% safe and free!

Enjoy that, Voyeurs!

13 hours of sleep is such bliss

Yeah, 13 hours. I was extremely tired yesterday. I got home, I ate lunch, I got online to check emails and I almost fell asleep at the keyboard. I hit the pillow around 2pm and woke up this morning at 3:40. Im fully rested and wide awake, full of energy and pep, and no where to go.

Two weeks ago, while I was in Corpus Christi, I had shaved my legs cause I was bored and thought it would be cool to try when I swam in the waters off South Padre. Things I had learned:
1. Shaving my Chewbacca-like legs took 2 hours (I never did it before, leave me alone)
2. Wading in the salty water hurts like hell when you have razor burn
3. I strangely like the feel of my legs shaved...

I strangely want to do that again... Don't ask...

STRANGE FINDINGS FROM THE INTERNET XIII

Yeah, I've been lax at these lately, but all that means is that I have found a good number of gems! Take this site, raise your speakers and invite your more immature co-workers and go nuts! It's a gas!

Want to really fuck with someone's mind? Learn afew of these lost words and one-up that annoying asshole that thinks they are smarter than you. Im wondering if this is where the writers for The Simpsons got Mr. Burns' vocabulary...

People! If you're too embarrased to go out and buy your own sex toys that you're reduced to this, I feel for you. Men, if you want to go at it yourself, try this, just don't put it next to the jelly... no, wait, thats wrong...

What's that you say? You aren't a pathetic looser and you have someone to have sex with but you aren't happy with your usual positions? Say no more! Try any of these positions on for size!

Oh, wait! I know, I know. Some of you are idiots. Watch this flash animation site to see demonstrations...

Man, if it weren't for the internet, some of you guys would be poking... um... wouldn't know which end... uh... couldn't nail... Eh, you know what I mean!

Voyeurs...

No, I haven't been neglecting. Problems logging in.

Eh. This entire week hasn't been going all that well. At work, my supervisor isn't being cooperative with his new hours so he is switching with me every week. It's screwing up my sleeping patterns. I didnt get much sleep last night. Im dragging and I think Im going to sleep alot this afternoon. Ive been watching my collection of DVDs I bought the past few weeks. I stopped Contact 1/4th way thru cause I was tired. It was also 2am. That was not this morning, but it was monday morning. I still haven't watched Pulp Fiction yet.

I best be off. I will try and get blogging at home again.

Im dragging, voyeurs...
