B) I call said plumber and he brings me a new 50gal for about $1300, and they stock the parts for the future.
In this consideration, since I helped my brother oil his cabinets before the owner-inspection today, he let me use his shower. Today is the last workday of the week for me.

Yeah, I'm on the phone now for a replacement. . .

Joekerr does latte milk in bags even fit in a wedge-Lambo???

I suspect dinonz would be more of a subject matter expert than myself, but my concern would be all those sharp right angles in the Countach could possibly pierce one of the bags of milk, which might lead to the seats being stained with a milky white substance that is altogether different from the usual milky white substance that Lambos seats are used to being stained with.

Is this about that whole "snow" thing again???

The Countach seats are white to begin with

Is snow a euphemism for something else? If so, maybe...

Been that busy have you?

Wait, wait, wait - I've been reading these forums - I know they must have come from the factory that way...

I can't reach the top of the new X3, and can barely reach the center of the hood/windshield

PLUS I have to learn a new pattern with the leaf blower to dry this behemoth

Well in that case maybe have something to eat and wait a little bit before opening the next bottle. Maybe keep some Excedrin nearby.

Ha. I’m in the ear ringing phase. I’ll sober up shortly.

No need for meds. Never had a hangover in my life.

Lucky you. I used to be like that too. Now hangovers sometimes last 2 days and have become a big deterrent. But... I am nowhere near 108 lbs. so it takes a lot of liquor to get there.

Are you old??

It’s very hard to type and sober up. Disclaimer. I’ve edited this post thrice for typos. This is the dui of texting

53 so “old” depends on one’s perspective. Did a bunch of yard work today so I feel old right about now. Plus I’m drinking gin which is an old man drink. So I guess I’m old.

Sara · 02-20-2021, 06:28 PM

Haha, you’re the good kind of old. Life’s just starting!

Don't you have a frozen lake in your back yard? Take your hockey skates if you want shaved ice.....

Problem 1: I have an outside hose bib for washing the car that has plumbed in hot and cold water taps. I've realized I can't really use that hot of water because it will melt the rubber gaskets, and the hoses/pressure washer I use clearly state don't use hot water.

Problem 2: Arms full of groceries walking up to my car and realize it isn't one of my vehicles that has the touchless foot wave sensor to open the trunk.

I'll never forget a joke that Kevin Nealon said on a podcast that cracked me up. During the California wildfires, he was so put out that it left the thinnest layer of ash on his 5 series BMW.

I never come close. Still, it doesn't seem to affect anything.
