First! (I know, you’ve already been to the tail of yesterday’s FFA).
Good morning! I saved some of that jumbo shrimp so it could get good and cold for a snack today.
Good morning! Been to church, have eaten breakfast, and have nothing else on the agenda but to sit back and relax. I’m getting plenty of practice relaxing. Radar is not showing any rain so I might venture out for a ride. Started out earlier this morning as I had to be at church an hour before PQ and it started to drizzle. Came back home and put Boule away, got in the car and found the rain was only for a few blocks.
Hope everybody has a great day! Go to church and enjoy the blessings of life.
Lucky for you OB to have gotten that drizzle and not the down pour.
Morning again, So you all have a Blessed Day!!
Strolls in/looks jealously at OB’s relaxed position/grabs diet dr pepper from fridge/goes back to work.
LOL!!!! You made me really laugh out loud. Blues and the rest of you are a special blessing to me.
1:35pm
Pokes head in/looks around/nobody here?/steps over and looks in fridge to see if LE left some of that shrimp she was braggin’ about/nope…dangit/grabs bottled water/looks up at jar of peanut butter on top of fridge/shakes head sadly/grabs last cold donut/leaves empty box on the counter/looks over at OB’s easy chair/guesses he must have had enough “relaxing” and went for a ride on his scooter/sighs/goes back to work.
Blues dont feel bad no cold boiled shrimp in my fridge either :(.
I bought the replacement part for the toilet. Looked prett simple to change out and then made the mistake and read the instructions. Hmmm, went back and looked inside the tank and placed the lid back over it. Maybe another day. Today is the day of rest that the Bible speaks of. (unless like Blues and you have to work because your job title description says you have to.)
Aint no weekends or holidays in the oilfields. And in never rains…or gets cold…on paper.
I bet not :( I would say you have some tails to tale.
I’ll just defer to AW and OB or any other veteran to tell stories of being a long way from home and living/working in a harsh environment. What I do is a walk in the park compared to what they’ve endured.
So true, Blues. Sure am glad you were around today so I had someone to chat to every so often.
we moved M in at DSU today. it was an all day affair. we got her room mostly set up for her. She had a few things to still do along with going to the campus tech office to get her mac onto their network. Not sure about the roommate .. shall see how it works out.
everyone have a good night.
PM, first thing to do is to cut the water off to the toilet. Then flush it and sponge up the remaining water in the tank. Take a picture of the insides with your phone for reference purposes. Undo the small plastic tubing. Get you a pair of pliers or channel locks to get a good grip on under side of the elongated tubular thingy. Remove the thingy and then put the new one in. The old insides may have had a floating ball attached to a tube to control the flow of water. The new one will likely have a small plastic float attached to the thingy. That will control the cut off valve for the inside of the toilet bowl.
After putting on the new thingy, attach the plastic hoses using the picture you took for reference. Make sure the float is not hindered by being too close to the side of the tank. Then turn on the water valve for just a few seconds and cut it off again. Check for leaks. If no leaks, adjust the float to about half way on the thingy. Turn on the water and let it run. It should stop flowing before the bowl fills up.
You will see a water line on the inside of the tank. Raise the float little by little until the water will stop at or just below that water line. Flush it one more time. Check for leaks and proper operation of the float on the thingy. If all is good, put the top back on and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
The real key to success is putting the plastic tubes back like you see in the picture.
Good luck.
Thanks OB, the one I am replacing is the same as the new one. PD had changed the old ball type out several years back. I know it want be a problem, I just like to think upon it a little longer. Sort of like my spot lights that I wired by taking a picture of what PD had done previously and matching it up. I know if it is still working I should be a wiz at the toilet thing. It is not so much of a have to as would be more convenient especially if I have guest like the other night.
10:30 pm nite all, nite light is on.
The shrimp are now history. We stopped earlier on our way to a friend’s house and got the steak sandwich, tater tot and drink special and we just worked up enough hunger to finish off the shrimp, two special sauces and all.
Contemplating amputating my right hip and leg.
Goodnight!
