The older new one. The one where the HDMI ports fell off.

Thought I'd do some home repairs yesterday, which, as you might imagine, is not really my forte (not sure what is). First on the to do list was to fix a busted flapper on a toilet. Seemed easy enough on the 2 minute youtube clip I watched. Yadda yadda yadda, I have a plumber coming over at 2pm today to fix a much larger issue that was non-existent before General Misfortune put on his tool belt and wizard hat. What should have been a 10 dollar fix is going to cost me at least 20 times that. Maybe that's my forte...taking small, inexpensive tasks and turning them into laborious, expensive, outsourced jobs.

Up next, installing mini-blinds in my daughter's room. Easy enough? Seems easy enough. I'm now convinced that the makers of these blinds purposefully give you horrendous instructions so that idiots like me will call in experts to install the blinds for them. I searched the internet for videos on how to install the blinds I bought and struck out. Finally, I just chanced it. Long story short, my wife had to hang them.

If you need me, I'll be giving stock tips down at the OTB, as well as fashion tips, dating advice and how to make your assets sweat.

I think we've all documented how these projects take 4 times as long and cost twice as much as anticipated, but what could you have possibly done to the toilet that would need a plumber? Changing a flapper should cost $3 and take 3 minutes. I can only guess that you leaned on the tank and broke the bowl.

I was told last night that the bathtub upstairs was leaking. I didn't even realize we had a bathtub upstairs. True story.

I want to see GM do an un-Bob Vila video.

Are they just loose inside? Might just need to crack it open and re-adhere them.

I'm going to guess he did something to the stop valve/supply line. Maybe the refill tube...stripped or broke it.

Not really sure. He started talking about the Mali Thunderdome and I thought he was still talking about toilets.

 

[belljr]

im guessing overflow tube and really not that bad a fix

he broke it trying to pop off the flapper

 

[Tiger Fan]

Off to Vegas. Try not to post anything good in here for a few days. TIA.

Is "future of GMTAN" on the agenda?

 

[Tiger Fan]

Just texted Melly to ask if he bought this lake yet. He laughed, so I'm taking it as a yes.

Guess I'm leaving to go ice fishing for the weekend in a bit. YOLO

I got some new ice fishing boots this week. My feet are going to be roasty toasty

Drive to Hayward. I'll buy the beer.

That sounds awful (the drive, that is)

try doing it with your hand out of the window holding up a mattress

My brother has 3 flapper issues that I have to fix because he's a lvl 0 handyman. I'll be bringing my Plunger of Might (+2)

When I was in middle school, my cousin who was about 2 years older brought his Dungeon Master's Guide to our family vacation and got my brother and me to play. We only over played when he was around, but it was always a big deal to him and his friends.

This week, that same cousin was appointed a district court judge by the Governor of his state. I have a woodworker friend making him a Gavel of Wisdom (+3) that I'm going to give him at his installation.

I never played D&D but that's all kinds of awesome.

Have fun, GBG!

And there's no way you come in hotter than GM did at coshole. Hell, I was in bed when he got there only to wake up to a GM monologue in my room. The paleness of it all made it especially ethereal - it was like the Moon was talking to me and I woke up mid-sentence. Then, like that - he was gone.

(likely to go looking for BBQ sauce in his underwear)

I'm the ghost of Jacob Malaise.....ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh

Fortunately for UH you were also the ghost of cornholes yet to come.

Come to think of it, GM WAS wearing chains he had forged in life. I think I asked Stoner Poodle to buy us the biggest goose in the butcher's window but he instead dragged Ms cos' purse-full-of-meat into the garden.

meat purse, you say?

[YSR]

In the process of planning a lake weekend with pink pants, et al. Will keep you posted, IB.

I suppose this is the upside of FB. Though it would be better if there were a swap program worked into it somehow. IB should be able to "Like" pink pants and then work out some kind of deal where his wife goes away and pink pants appears for some period of time. I mean, without all the trouble of hiding a body and lengthy trials and whatnot. Like a Foreign Exchange Student program, but without the chance that you end up with a dude.

I actually just looked through her FB to see if I could link a bikini pic or something to sweeten the pot and she's one of those sweet girls who just doesn't post that stuff.

Well, I pulled off the old flapper pretty easily. It looked like an old diaphragm. I tried to put the new one on, but I wasn't sure where it hooked into. So then I saw this thing that looked like Homer Simpson's drinking bird and tried to loosen it up in hopes that the flapper would connect there. But when I bent it backwards to try and gain some leverage to loosen it up, something that looks very important and not easily replaceable snapped off. Like a bracket or something. I thought about using gorrila glue, but man, this is a toilet. I don't want to be jerryrigging something so vital to our daily existence. Well, after the bracket snapped off, I called my plumber, who is quite nice and very reasonable and after laughing at me agreed to meet me today. He usually books a week out, so he must have sensed my desperation and pitied me like most women who ever slept with me.

Can you come fix my TV?

The new one or the ####ty one?

The older new one. The one where the HDMI ports fell off.

Are they just loose inside? Might just need to crack it open and re-adhere them.

Yes and it's already cracked open, I just don't know how/have the tools to restick them in there.
