Had a REAL project, today




for some reason, after 10 years, we developed a leak at our master BR shower, and our carpet was soaked, and it took a while to find the leak, behind the wall. Called a plumber, and found out it was $230 to show up and start, then $75/hr, plus parts to fix it. SO, much as I hated it, I started the project and bought a new shower valve, that happened to be a much different size. You can see how much Mapp gas it took, (burned area) along with wrenches, to get out the old valve. THEN, I had to cut back pipes, inside a very small area, and solder the new fittings and valve into place. 6 hours later, we have a shower again. Was kinda scary, cause if it didn't work, woulda had to keep the water, to the whole house, turned off, till we got a real plumber to show up, BUT, I saved a few hundred bucks.

Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Yahoo…Dotard’s Big Beautiful Diesel Deal pissed off Ukraine and most of the world, plus well over half of Congress and the US, BUT, it helped his buddy Putin and his partners in Big Oil, sooo, we can see where the dick’s priorities are.

  President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia would supply the global market with 4.8 million metric tons, or nearly 36 million barrels total.  This is equivalent to a little more than a single day of global demand.  The U.S. is a net diesel exporter so it does not need Russian supply, said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. Goldman Sachs estimated the initial Russian release would only reduce wholesale diesel prices by $1 to $2 per barrel, which is currently at approximately $200/barrel.
