Morning Joe, Chris and Scratcher.
Joe I need to go out in the unheated garage and remove part of a tarp that I sucked into the snowblower on my Cub tractor the other night. Hopefully I did not screw anything up because I need to finish snowblowing the snow from Weds. thru now, but they are talking that I may get another foot of lake effect off of Ontario.

Well...got done doing the rear brakes on the mini-van...had not planned on doing them today...when I pulled the wheels sure enough rotors were toast...off to Auto Zone I went to get two rotors and pads...
Funny thing is I was JUST THERE last night returning the brake caliper tool from doing the rear brakes on the mini Cooper last weekend!...I guess since things run in threes...I better check the rear brakes on the Ex now!
I should have also milked that job a little longer...as now I have to also hang a shelf in the laundry room!!!
A man's work is NEVER DONE!
Tiny thanks for stopping in...good luck with the snow blower!
Scratcher...nice link...THANKS!
Later guys,
joe.

Happy Saturday Indiana!
You guys are way too productive for a off! I need a plumbing expert here, I hate plumbing and any time I touch it I make things worse. The faucet handle on the master bath shower stall quit, I took it apart and tried to make sure it everything was snug... surpise, I made it worse... Took me 10 minutes of fiddling to get the water to shut off. Guess it's time to call a pro! House is about 6 years old, I would have thought things last longer than that!
Fortunately there are two other showers in the house, but I know that excuse won't be satisfactory to the wifey, lol.

No heat for me...now CHRIS...he has HEAT!!!...thankfully it is 30° here today...and I'm now done...well still hanging the shelf...can't you tell! 
She is VERY excited...can't wait for the .22 to come so she can go shooting with dad...
I'll be getting the rings and base for the scope next week...scopes should be here next week too...
I will also pick up two bore snakes since it will be easier to clean the rifles that way...
Good luck...that bites!
Rob,
Wish I was closer...me and plumbing get along...thankfully I'm handy with most everything around the house...you name it, I do it...not that I always like to do it but thankfully I CAN do it!
and I agree with Steve...it should have lasted longer than 6 years!

I'm going through my local "buddy list", and none of them do plumbing either... I need to be more selective when picking friends! lol
I'm sure I can figure it out, if I buy a book, then slowly disect everything... I just have a history of screwing things like that up since I'm slightly impatient. The last thing I want is a broken pipe inside the wall, flooding the finished basement below.

Boy you guys are the busy bunch this morning!
I think I'll have it pretty easy today. Gotta run to Home Depot for some light bulbs and furnace filters, get me some food on the way home and then watch the Steelers and Packers lose.
Then it's back to start the work week tomorrow!

Okay...so I thought I was going to be DONE when I finished the shelf...NOT...
I just got done replacing 55...can you say 55 cabinet *****!!! And some of them were more tricky then needed because of screw lengths/etc...so I needed to work thru those problem children...
Also after taking each of the old ones off I had to touch up the stain behind...so that slowed things down too...
Plus CUTTING 55 little tiny baggies and individually wrapped screws...
Okay I think you got the picture will all my whining!
The good news...she's done...and they look pretty good.
The wife didn't like the "polished brass" look any longer...so now we have brushed/satin nickel...
The things we do for adult relations!
As they say...if momma ain't happy...ain't NOBODY happy!
Hope everyone is enjoying the day!!!
Time to shower and head to church...
Rob...you need more friends in INDIANA!!!...okay you just need friends that know how to do PLUMBING!!!
later gents!

Good afternoon Indiana. I see it has been busy here today!
Well got the headers bolted up to the motor and have a few more things to do before this project is done. The son had to go to work so the rest will have to wait till tomorrow and sure I could have finished up but then the son would not learn!
