New Bathroom Granite and Marble Stone

We headed out to the Tile Shop but this time we brought Tanya with and she helped us get this show on the road.

At first I thought we were going to have to wait till October because one of the stones were on backorder.

In the end we ended purchasing some awesome white granite and patterned marble floor.

It was more expensive than (e:terry) had originally wanted to spend but we signed up for a card and they threw in an extra discount giving us 25% off the total.

They also had a bottle of Tanya's favorite, discontinued soap in one of the showers. I asked if they could throw that in too and they did.

Right now I am holding an $52 marble soap dish. It seems so crazy that such and insignificant part of my existence can be so expensive.

Cigarettes Suck

The other night at (e:flacidness)' s birthday someone burned me with their cigarette on the porch. I wonder if I will now be marked forever.

More Soldering Copper - Hose Faucet Repair

I am so much more comfortable with soldering now. Really the time (e:robert) and I worked on the pipes in the basement is when I learned the most.

(e:mike) and (e:yesthatcasey) manged to brutalize our garden hose outlet when we were away on honeymoon. Somehow they broke off almost all the spokes of the turn wheel. It was so messed up I had to cut the pipe and put on a new faucet. I ended up going with an all solid metal one so that it can't happen again.

I learned something new during this project. Despite having shutoff a value inside the house that gives water to this pipe, there was still some residual water that was coming through. I would wipe it and every once in a while it would start to come out again. Obviously this is not ideal for soldering as the flux gets wet and water causes steam which makes the bind not work.

Turns out a little bit of wadded up white break blocks the pipe and also dissolves easily when full pressure is restored. It totally worked to allow me to form the needed seal and the bread parts just came out when I turned the faucet on.

I think we may have crossed the line where hickies look like a disease.

Friday Bikeride to Windmill Point Quary

This mega exercise weekend started out with a fast paced bike ride to Windmill Point Quarry to swim across and back the quarry before a face paced bike ride home over the peace bridge. I feel like it set a pace for the entire weekend which pretty much zoomed by.

City Of Night Buffalo at the Silos

Had a great time at the City Of Night event at the silos. The art was interesting, we saw so many people we know, and we danced. I even saw people I know from middle school which was so last century.

We all danced our asses off. I felt so bad for (e:Dianne) as I know she loves it so much but its gotta hurt with that shoulder. At one point I inhaled a lot of rust by accident and could talk normal for about an hour. I hope I don't come down with some rare iron borne bacterial infection.

This was by far the best piece.

No Calorie Noodles

This seems totally gross to me. Why does anyone want to eat things that are 0 calories?

Roly Poly on Main St

Had a great lunch at Roly Poly on Main st near Virgina across from the old Smart Pill building. They have so many options and you can even build your own.

If you are gluten intollerant they even have gluten free tortillas as an option.
