Now, that is a "stand up" guy.
It's a drop in the bucket with all his wealth, but it's still a good thing. We've got billionaires who cheat their way out of paying taxes, refuse to pay their employees decent wages, & hoard all of their $$$.
On the gallstones/gall bladder thing, my mother had hers taken out because it kept getting gall stones. She has problems with greasy food, tomatoes, and other acidic stuff. She gets acid reflux.
I've been hit with fatigue lately. New pump got installed but when we went to turn the water on there was a massive leak from a broken fitting in the laundry room just before the shutoff. I'm going to try to fix it today. My body (mostly my back) was not cooperating yesterday. I got what I should need to fix it hopefully.

Good luck with the fitting Z and I hope your back feels better soon.
When we first moved back to my hometown in 1992, we bought a house. Paid it off in 7 years. The neighborhood was all owner occupied then. Forward to 26 years later, most are rentals and there are a couple drug houses within a block. We sold out and got almost nothing. My MIL passed and left my wife a little money so we moved to the other side of town. A couple weeks ago, the old house was demolished. Sad to see it go. I had roofed it, rewired it, plumbed it all and built a garage. It is the 3rd house on that block that is now gone. I spent a 1/3 of my life in that house.
I reallythink the chiefs will eat the birds, but I actually think it's time for someone to knock off the chiefs. But I do like watching Mahomes even now when he decided to run.Ok Daris who we rooting for now? Birds or Chiefs
Mahomes will be the GOAT whether they win or lose. I was hoping they would play either the lions or Redskins, yes I said Redskins.
Never heard of Mahomes. I think Redskins are a football team. So some kind of football team? My mother was the only one in our household who watched football but none of us were ever really into it. Commentators pissed me off and I could never keep up with what was going on and could never bring myself to care. LOL. I do like Ninja Warrior though.
I got the wrong fittings and wrong size cinch rings. I didn't realize the shutoff I had went from 1/2" to 3/4". Thought it was all 3/4". But I still had one single 1/2" doohickey in the linen closet. I'll have to get more since it was going to be used for something else. The cinch tool I got worked great. I was able to turn the water back on, turned water heater on, and will be taking a nice shower shortly. Just woke up from a nap.

My daughter stopped and talked to Mahomes at a convenience store. He was pumping his own gas. She said it was just like talking to anyone. He was super nice.
We are in Vegas and there was a young couple trying to take picture of each other in front of a monument in the hotel. I asked if I could take the picture of the 2 of them together and they were thrilled. Made me feel good.
You went to Surfaces? The shop owners are there. Say hi to Jason and Amy if you see them.
Oh, some fun today.
I have the long seam done in the room and it's in place, all squared to the room with laser lineup marks on 4 walls.
There's a short "hallway" and closet to put on and both seam edges are sealed and ready to go. Being this is a pattern, there were 3 places of importance. The entrance to this room from the hardwood hallway on the left. The tile edge tucking in at the bathroom doorway and lastly the closet door jamb area where I was considering making a cross seam.
I didn't want a pattern line barely inside the room next to the wood entrance area and obviously not close to the bathroom tile either.
My dilemma will be dimension related with this 24" pattern.
From the left side of the "hall" to the tile, it's 47 3/4". To not have a pattern line showing right along the hall wall, or the tile edge, I only have about 1/4" of error in positioning this piece.
The red line is my laser line.
I'm going to put the tiny hallway piece in place and line it up with the laser line, then be sure that I barely remove a pattern line along the tile. Once positioned, I'll add some stay tacks.
From there, I'll have to stretch the pattern line in the room a smidge so the room lines up with the tiny hallway.
Once I can make relief cuts near the seam and put it together, I can begin stretching.
I'll have to stretch the center of the room first to make the pattern hit my laser lines from the hall to the far wall.
then stretch to the left, then to the right to keep the pattern straight.
This is going to be a very slow, interesting day.

You might be able to see in the photos about where my pattern lines will be.
I can only shift the hall piece a tiny bit right or left to not have a tiny portion of a line showing on either side.
