Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Just finishing up lunch here. Kind of a quiet day. I did have some new work come in which is good since it's been a little light lately.

Glad you got some new work. Will make the day go by better.

New mix for one Dvarw. Need to wick another and get a new mix for that one.

New mix for my Kumo and I’m done.

What are you folks doing today?

Shopping around for a new toilet seat. It's hell.

Plus I can't figure out how to remove the old one (it's twenty-six years old).

Oh wow. Do you anyone that would help you?

Maybe my sister. She's handier than I. But she's not feeling well right now, so I'll have to wait to ask for her help.

Does your old toilet seat have a metal hinge?

Maybe you can find a replacement seat by the time she feels better.

@Zazie is your current toilet seat more round (about 16" back to front) or elliptical (about 18" b-to-f). You want to pick the correct replacement size.

Listening to customers whine and complain that they want their stuff fixed while they wait. That and looking up parts for 20+ year old machines.

Does not sound like a good day.

I'm relaxing now. We finished our chores for the day. The girls and their spouses have everything covered for the rest of today.

An old toilet seat with metal hinges, if that's what Zaz has, can be a challenge to remove. The old nuts can get corroded and locked in place. I had to use a mini hacksaw to cut the bolts on ours. Once those were removed it was easy to install the new seat.

Weed whacking.

No 70’s today. Only made it to 69.

 

[FranC]

65 and dropping. Think I’ll shut my wide open window a little bit.

I used to work maintenance in group homes and I replaced a lot of old seats. At that age it might have metal bolts and nuts, which will be rusted solid. Even nylon nuts seize up. The bolt goes down through the top with a nut underneath. Give it a good spray underneath with WD40 once a day and there's a chance the nut will free up. Probably not though. If it's a nylon nut you could break it with a chisel. Or use a Dremel. If you have one you can chop away the top of the bolt and it will fall out the bottom. That works with metal or nylon.

Guess what I'm saying is it might be hard. If I lived close enough I would have to figure out an excuse why I couldn't come round and help. Good luck.

Mowed the lawn today. Major rain starting on Wed so it had to be done. Tomorrow is weed eating. Not too bad because it was down in the 60's but I can't stop sneezing and my eyes feel like sandpaper.

One of my mixes kind of surprised me today. Took my first vape making sure the wick was properly soaked. I wasen’t really thinking of taste at that time so it surprised me I really liked it. I guess I’m good to post it now.
It’s a very simple recipe and the cream is the star.
