There's another Jesus cain't come to the Inauguration thread going...
And Focus on the Family is behind this one...
On the whole, though... plumbing is far lower risk than wiring... at least from my point of view.
I mean... a leaky pipe may be annoying for now... but 220 volts is forever. :-)
Nah...I know where the breaker is.
And I forgot (repressed memory?). I tried to change out the bathroom faucets once too.
Once.
That, I will never do.
Along with: putting little tags on things to remember when I did that.
Uh huh.... 
Well, I'm keepin' an eye out on that...
You know you've officially crossed over when you start putting tags on the bottom of things for people to have when you die...
g'nite folks. I was gonna be in bed by 10 p.m. tonite...
And I got absolutely no work done.
Yah... most binos eye relief cups for use with glasses, but what I'm saying about these is that they've got way better relief because of the oversize glass on the eyepieces. It's hard to describe without just seeing it to see how it works.
Unless you know how to take it apart down the line, sounds like you gots to call the plumbing man.
No, no, no... if only it were that simple. What we're talking about here is putting a little tag on the gas can for the lawn mower, with the date when you bought the gas, so that you know that you're not putting "old" gas into the lawn mower.
Where does the "old" gas go? Well... of course it goes into the gas tank of the twenty-year old Chevy pickup that's just gasping for breath but will choke any kind of crappy gas through it...
Don't even get me started on the generator...
That is truly disturbing.
g'nite
We just started putting the little tags with the date on the new DeWalt batteries, so we know which ones are the old ones :~D
Sure you did; you fixed that clog! Now it may not have been what you had PLANNED to do tonight, but sometimes we just gotta roll with it baby!
Neener neener neener. :-P
I'm just glad you got there before I did.
Wow! Your Dad runs a GLP lawn service? Does he put storage conditions and the expiration date on the tag too? :)
Do you remember the thing with Nita's stuff? In Grandpa's estate? It was remarkable...
Everything... and I mean everything... whether it was a spoon, or or hand mixer, or a potato peeler... everything had a little tag taped on it someplace with the date it was purchased and how much it cost. EVERYTHING.
It was staggering, really. I can only think that it had something to do with growing up throught the great depression. The trauma of that time left an indelible mark on how people of that generation viewed money, and it really stuck.
We should perhaps think that it wasn't *entirely* a bad thing.
GLP???
"Good Laboratory Practice"...you have to label and document everything.
What was interesting to me is that it made the whole house a sortof museum of dollar value and inflation. It was actually interesting that a spatula purshased in 1968 cost .59 cents at the Piggly Wiggly in Phoenix ;~D
