It's almost 7:00, I'm still at work for some reason, and yet this thread still manages to make me have to panic scroll.

The water heater installers are scheduled to be here tomorrow to install the new hot water heater.

None too soon. The mrs and I had a heated argument yesterday about washing clothes in cold water only. She said that she never heard of it. I said that back on the farm, we NEVER used hot water to wash clothes. After my first marriage ended, I just knew that I should have married that cowgirl from Kentucky, but, nooo I married the city girl from Saint Louis. But, THAT is a whole different story.

I added that in Europe, they never use hot water to wash clothes. She said "even underwear?". She added, no wonder the girls in Europe stink. I said, NO, it's because - then I shut the fuck up, because my mind flooded over with the memories of this German landlords daughter that didn't use deodorant, shave under her arms nor her legs nor anywhere else. But THAT is a whole different story -

mrs humfrz FINALLY decided to wash our clothes in cold water - but, she refused to take a cold shower.

I was going to suggest that we go down on the valley floor and rent a motel room at the no-tell motel so we could shower up. She said that was too expensive. I ABOUT SAID, no, not really, they rent rooms by the hour -

BUT, I didn't say that - ol humfrz knows when to keep his mouth shut -

Later - maybe -

Think I need to go back to the hardware store and find different ones. And also google the forums to find the correct size..
spike021, what the hell have you been doing with your car to get the license plate screws to rust, in California? Driving on the beach in Santa Cruz ??



The new ones are too long? Now, listen up, either take a hacksaw and cut the screws so they are shorter OR put a few washers behind them. You need to spend some time with @Ultramaroon to learn "stuff" - SMH
