Way cool shirt. 

My eyes were drawn towards the purple.

Mine are drawn to the photo/painting in the background that appears to be not quite level.  I need to get some sleep.

Most excellent lunch with Colin. Think he took pictures. Afterwards retreated to my spiritual home ...

i think today may have been the slowest work day ever.

Reminds me of the local "Lord of the Fries" place around here.

Awoken at 2:00 am by a commotion in the garden. It was the fucking foxes, fucking

And by foxes, do you mean...actual foxes or the british slang for hot women? Either way, pics? 

Would be cool/odd to see pictures of either. Not in a sexual way. Well maybe not about the latter guess perhaps. 

Yeah but foxes are typically wild animals. I was under the assumption that Stretch did not live in the wilderness. So if it really were fox, it would be cool to see them in an urban environment. The fact that they were having sex doesn't really matter to me. 

Urban foxes are well known in the UK http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24563919

Didn't know this. Thanks for the link. 

You don't go outside much, do you?  

This synopsizes my thoughts on the last several posts.

I fully expect Stretch's next post to be this.

 

That's not allowed anymore. But the foxes are doing their best to swing public sentiment behind a revival of the practice!

Replaced the driver's side mirror on my car, was a victim of the winter and slippery road conditions.  Inexpensive (cheaper plastic housing, but Nissan's wasn't much better) after-market via Amazon, $43 shipped.  Everything works fine.

 

Happy boy.

Walked downstairs to go grocery shopping and, for reasons I can't even recall, took a look into the storage room.  Glad I did, as the boiler was dripping hot water all over the floor and had already created a small puddle.  I put a Solo cup under the offending pipe and it relatively quickly started to fill so I called the heater repairman who informed me that I'd be paying $200 simply for the pleasure of interrupting his weekend.  Currently waiting for him to arrive to find out how much on top of the flat fee I'll get to shell out.  I love spring.

Glad it worked out. A couple years back we did similar with an aftermarket and the mirror wasn't even glass. It was funhouse-like warped plastic. Sadly never attached to see how wild driving would be.

That sucks, Nate.  I hope it won't be too costly.

This.

Bummer Nate. Hope it's an easy fix.

It wasn't too bad and my repair guy, who I've been using for 10 years cut me a break on the weekend service call cost.  So I overpaid him and did it in cash.  No more drippy boiler.

I went to the maui swap meet, then drove up to Makawao and then along the Hana highway back to Paia.

That sucks Nate, sorry but lucky you caught so fast, like when our pipe froze last Feb and I was up and was able to shut off the water before it did more than $2K in damage in 90 seconds...

Yeah, I definitely got lucky.  The expansion tank had failed which is definitely something that can flood a basement in a short period of time.
