What did you do today?

[Floorist]

Miserable day. Sump pump quit In the middle of the night during a T storm, so I got two hours of sleep and still must replace it. Wife called me at 5 30 am, she left for class at 5, her car broke down. I drove 30 miles to get her in my old work van and then had her car towed to a shop. Still raining. Need to go down and replace the pump but I am exhausted. Meanwhile, my minivan is still broke down in the driveway. Ever try to find an anti-freeze leak in the rain?

I found mine on a dry day and replaced the water pump between showers on a stormy day. I want a garage with a lift and a heated floor.

You know my chances are better.............

Not if Nick hits on a million dollar bet.

 

[Floorist]

Got the new sump pump installed. What a PITA. But it always is. About every three years for 25 years.

I hit for $8,000 on two bets in the football playoffs . I can get the steering wheel .

When a neighbors dog craps in your yard, you need to go over and complain to them, not kill the critters.

It's not that the dogs did anything. The guy apparently just enjoys killing animals. He's been doing it for years but the police never had enough evidence to convict him. We think he may have killed the cats that went missing. His daughter bragged about how he likes to put out canned dog food with rat poison in it. He's just a sick creep.

But my friends have the blood tests showing the antifreeze in their systems and the cops found the bowl of antifreeze next to the dog food in his yard. They are determined to bring this guy down.

Floorist, sorry about your sump pump. Glad you got it replaced though.

Finished up a little gluedown yob. Engineered with a varnish finish.

 

[Floorist]

Looks good.

 

[Nick]

Looks good E . I just don't like all the little boards . To busy for me.

 

[Floorist]

My wife's minivan is fixed. New fuel pump. Rain again tonight and tomorrow with 2 to 4 inches more over the weekend.

 

[Nick]

I have a wood job coming up E, Could use a hand.

 

[zannej]

Nice job, Ernesto!

I took my brother's "new" truck in to get the airbag recall taken care of and get the oil changed.

I also went and got a saline bag and some needles so my friends can give their dog an IV drip since she won't eat and keeps throwing up. Her kidneys are failing so I don't know if she'll pull through. So far she's the only one who survived the poisoning.

I found out the name of the perpetrator and have been passing it along to the people at the vet's office and the animal shelter. We're going to make sure everyone knows what a piece of crap he is.

meanwhile, my mother ordered some crappy piece of furniture for cheap off of amazon. The instructions were literally a really crappy Xerox of the picture (which lacked any useful detail) with hand drawn arrows and drawings of screws-- but no mention of which screws to actually use. No words or numbers or labels. And when I was trying to screw things together, the little metal rings in the holes that are supposed to hold the screws in just came out so it wouldn't stay together. I'm going to have to use some glue on this project. I wonder what the best type of glue to use is for adhering metal to particle board...

Makes it look like vinyl planks

I am applauding, is that the hand you needed?

 

[Nick]

One in every crowd. Some piece of wood .

 

[zannej]

Nick, wow! Don't see any timbers like that anymore. Of course, we don't have many trees large enough for it anymore.

Sadly, the doggie I posted a picture of passed away this morning. She had to be put down because she started vomiting blood and hemorrhaging from her eyes. I really hope the police arrest the poisoner soon.

 

[Nick]

Sorry to hear that . I hope they get him to .

I had a stack of shorts I didn't use. Only six fixed lengths. The rest of the house had the same stuff so the new owners found out what is was. California Classics which is Chinese. Funny how everyone thinks it's made in America because of the name.
