Good luck!
plumbing is one of those things that looks deceptively easy but can lead to a lot of headaches. YouTube the crap out of EVERYTHING - the sink itself, how to turn offtyour water supply, music videos about zombies vs. Sinks- anything ever remotely related to your situation. Good luck man!

Also, I'm posting from the bathroom, brushing my teeth, shaving, and otherwisestartijf, the day. The guy upstairs has the same idea but he's singing "that's amore" in a languageiIcannot rrecognize. I can hear him quite well through the vent. I really want to ask him what language he speaks, but I'm not shouting through the vents like some 60s new york sitcom.

:) That's brilliant.
Hope everyone has some entertainment planned. I think I have my regular Sunday game back on... although the GM might be taking more breaks this year.
Hello aeglos.

Also, good morning FAWTLY Folk! I hope everyone has a better Sunday than I'm going to have. I say this with confidence because I've got to repair that sink. This makes it an automatic craptastic day.
Ouch!
What sink ie bathroom? Kitchen?
And,....if it's the kitchen, get the special wrench that bends; that's my best advice from a "layman" who fixed a kitchen sink. AND, if it looks like a 15 minute job on Youtube, it's really going to take you two days, because if your sink's like mine, there's really bizarre stuff going on there.
And look at youtube videos........

Naah, it was all good. I used to do some plumbing work. Just took a little time. Faucet's all put in place and working fine. I even fixed the few leaky spots.
Plus, I learned from one of the best home repair do it yourselfers I the planet - my dad.
Also - mechanical engineer.

I hate selkie stories. They're always about how you went up to the attic to look for a book, and you found a disgusting old coat and brought it downstairs between finger and thumb and said "What's this?", and you never saw your mom again.
This gave me the best laugh I've had in a long time. I haven't clicked the link yet, but your description is right on.

It's c-c-c-cold. 14 F. The news media used to present the temps in F/C format in an attempt to edykate us Muricans, but they don't anymore. Guess they gave up.
So it was in the 60's Saturday and a father took his sons, 10 & 8, on a hike through the forest in shorts and t-shirts. They got lost, it got dark, temps plummeted. They were found dead Sunday morning on the trail with temps in the 20's. Crazy.

14 F is about -10 C - so cold, but not in the effing freezing range.
And that thing about the hiking family is sad.

I am of the persuasion that if you go into any kind of wilderness, you prepare for what you can prepare for. I got why illustrated amazingly well when walking in the mountains in July one summer a number of years ago. I was about a mile away from both possible rest stop houses on a sweltering day, when suddenly the horizon turned gray-white, clouds drew in, and a the temperature plummeted. I put on a warm shirt, an anorak, gloves... And when that was done, the blizzard had begun. Walking a mile wasn't much of a hassle for me, and the rest stop house was warm. There were large drifts of snow and very little visibility, and hypothermic people in thin shirts started dropping in. The rest house was packed. The next day, the weather was fine, and sadly, we heard that a family had died from exposure.
When in foreign territory, respect the local rules. Even if it means wearing a heavy backpack.

We has no snow either. -.-
I can't complain too much as I refer to my car not so affectionately as the slip-n-slide as it has no traction on wet or icy roads. But the kidlet is very, very sad.

This family was in well-known territory in Ozark woodlands, not in the mountains. I think it was a matter of overconfidence. Familiarity breeds contempt, and all that jazz. Lord knows I've gone out in the morning without a jacket and been chilly by the time I returned home. It's not so fatal in the suburban outback, though.

I really wish my phone had shown me this post before I posted my complaint...

Don't feel bad. I blame the media. There aren't enough reruns of Gilligan's Island. If there's one thing I learned from that show, it's that sometimes a 3 hour tour isn't just a 3 hour tour.
LOL!
Diane gives me a good natured hard time about always having things like tools, sleeping bag, trauma kit, fire extinguisher etc. in my trunk.
