What did you do today?

[MSLI]

I’ve been looking at 2 skids worth of 24x24 porcelain tile for 2 years now in the brothers shop. Maybe they can’t find an installer …. Heal up quick Tile Tom and thanks for being a floor covering warrior out there

Hey ! What would you do in this scenario:
I removed cat per carpet today in an apartment. Went home for a late lunch/ early dinner, then went back to spray Natures Miracle. Directly in front of the empty apartment was a Handicap Parking sign, that I assumed was for that tenant. So I parked there.
I’ve got all my PPE ON, gloves, respirator, goggles and ready to fill up the sprayer, when I hear a voice “ Yo ! You’re in my spot, don’t ever park there ever again “
It was the upstairs neighbor and he was walking just fine by the way …. Anywho, my luck this past month has been bad, and the second time I’ve been scolded over parking in tenants spots …., I took it like a good man, said I was sorry and moved, even though he had a spot right next to me. Somebody’s gotta be the peace maker

Should have jumped off that fence and punched him in the nose!

 

[highup]

Last couple days I have been setting 24x24 porcelain tile. Good god is my back effed up from that ****! Imagine holding a 10lb weight straight out for 7-8 hours on your knees.


Really starting to feel the pain these days.

Ought to be a crane type device with suction cups to assist positioning tiles those size and larger.
I'd invent the tool, but I don't install tile, nor do I like being laughed at.

Lucky me, I got to go and have shots into my back, called numbing shots in preparation of burning off a couple of nerves. Fun Fun.

 

[havasu]

Did it hurt Daris?

 

[DarisMulkin]

Did it hurt Daris?

I did flinch once when I wasn't expecting it, they rub some kind of numbing stuff on so it is just kind of uncomfortable but nothing really bad. My wife used to take a Valium but she has given that up also. I always just tuffed it out.

 

[zannej]

Ugh. I hate Valium. They gave it to me before a hearth cath and I had an adverse reaction to it. Instead of calming me, it gave me the jitters and made me extremely aggravated. I wanted to punch people and just wanted everyone to STFU and leave me alone.

I hope the shots work, Daris.

Incognito, the porcelain tile looks great!

Anyone know much about wiring pumps, floats, and relays?

I'm relaxing today. No going into town. I cooked for mom, fed kitties, watered kitties, and am reading stuff and watching Youtube. Trying to figure out how to set up a float switch with a 230v pump and hoping it can work with a MK2P-I relay.

Hey Zannej, When I came out of Sodium Pentothal many years ago I was nasty to the recovery Nun / Nurse, who was in charge I may burn in hell from that incident ….. anywho, I don’t remember what my point was …. Happy Fri. Everyone, I’m going to give my Chili and Pinot Noir my attention.

 

[C.J.]

It’s 110 today so there will be no chili and wine. Coronas and beef jerky is more like it! Happy Friday to all.

My brother and sister in-law ( my landlords) haven’t turned on the AC YET and Pa. Feels like Arizona, even though there’s no real comparison. Stay cool C. J.

Took my Mom for a 3:15pm appointment with the diabetes specialist to get a recommendation on the infusion set. She didn't come into the room until 4:30pm. Mom forgot her purse in the room and the office closed. I called and they answering service got in touch with the NP so she went back to the office and grabbed it for us. Went to Walmart to get some groceries and grabbed McDonald's on the way home.

brother brought in the water cases and I got some new power strips with USB ports to charge stuff. Set the empty box on my bed and went to move it but it was heavier than I expected. Yasuke is happy with his new hiding place.

Yasuke looks like my cat Elfanzo from back in the day, 1981 . He would fetch like a dog …I haven’t had McDonalds since 2007 ….. Have a good weekend everyone

I got handed a great “Saturday “ job a few years ago in our courthouse mail room 48 x48 ‘Texas Granite’ it was a two man placement in semi wet Taylor pressure sensitive adhesive and it wasn’t worth it.

Last night I took my son & his friend (also a fighter) to turning stone casino for the pro fights & canastota boxing hall of fame. His friend was in a terrible motorcycle accident a few weeks ago with his dad. He’s still pretty banged up but gets around ok. He was uncomfortable in our assigned seats so we moved all the way to the top of the arena where it was less crowded & he could have more room.

After the opening fight a gentleman came up to us & asked if we were in our correct seats. Assuming we were “busted” for seat hopping, I apologize and said we would move back to our seats. He then introduced himself as being with Oscar de la Hoya and the Golden boy production & asked me if we would like front row ringside tickets in the VIP area for me & the boys. I was in disbelief and said of course we would! Then he gave us the tickets and said enjoy the evening. I thought they might be bogus but took them down to see if they would fly……and they freaking welcomed us in!!!

What a night!!! We were treated like royalty. Super comfortable seats with leg room. Celebrities BEHIND us. World champions all around us. Everyone looking at our local boxing club T shirt’s wondering who the hell we were to be in that section with one kid looking like he just fought Tyson Fury . Everyone else was dressed to the nines. Main event was for the WBO minimum weight world title
Absolutely incredible evening!!!!

 

[zannej]

MSLI, I had a black cat who liked to play fetch too. I miss her. She was a sweet kitty.

Didn't do too much today. Rested. Had some digestive issues and had to stay still while I waited for Pepto to work. Cooked for Mom and did some cleaning. Fed kitties. Cooked again, etc.

Still trying to find the right contactor and detection system to replace my stupid liquid level float thing for my well system.

It’s hot out! Nothing that a pool and a few White Russians won’t take care of.

 

[zannej]

I miss having a pool. If I could ever have one again I'd want one inside a "bird cage" with triple pane glass filled with argon and coated to prevent too much of the harmful UV rays from coming in. I'd also want to have some sort of fans to have a breeze going.

So, I took video and screenshotted the pressure switch on my pump. Then I took a picture of a brand new switch that has never been used. Old one is on the left, new one is on the right. Friend spotted the problem right away even without comparison.

Looks like the contacts on the right side of the old switch popped off. I'm about to watch a video on how to change out the switch. Removing the wires from the power supply to the switch shouldn't be a problem (I hope) but not sure how to disconnect the switch from the connector from the pump. So, its youtube time.

Whaaa? Going to work the next day looking like a lobster is half the fun. Best part is after I’ve lost some weight I no longer get the zebra stripes on my belly if I fall asleep on a floatie

Are the white Russians hiding in the pool?
