Hi Sawdust. It was ok. Didn' t get as much done in the office as I'd hoped- but went for a run, went to Costco and booked my car's servicing appt.
Dinner is chicken, too. The garlic red chile chicken from Costco is in the oven now.
I thought you were brave to attempt plumbing on Friday the 13th, because I've had serious bad luck in the plumbing dept! Last summer I was packing for holidays and garburated every remaining vegetable in the fridge...hopelessly plugging the p-trap. So I took it off, drained the pluggage into a slop bucket, and didn't realize that the plastic coupling ring had fallen into the bucket. I realized this after I had emptied the bucket into the toilet. Ooops. Mr LM was unavailable at the time. So off I went to Rona, to discover that they don't sell just the coupling ring. Solvent welding is totally outside my existing skill sets, so the guy at Rona just took a coupling off a new p-trap unit and gave it to me. I could still hear the laughter as I exited the store.
Mr LM thought this whole thing was pretty funny until we returned from California and found that the toilet was draining...v e r y s l o w l y due to the coupling lodged in there. A week of snaking and taking the toilet off I don't know how many times, until we found the lost coupling. It was baaaaaad.
So I hope that story adds some levity to your situation.
