We went to SportsClips yesterday. A regular haircut is $16 which is more than I'd usually spend, but we had a coupon for $8/per. It's great for me and N, not because they have ESPN on or even because you're guaranteed to get a decent looking hetero female stylist. The big deal is that it's not a beauty salon like all the rest. Although it's not discussed, these are mostly female only clubs that guys just have to deal with. I've been to a Barber Shop, not for me either. They are a little strange to me. Oh you can be sure the guy cutting your hair is straight alright, but so is his razor. Sports Clips will probably see me again, even without a coupon.

Maintenance News! - The dryer is still not fixed. The tech is coming out again tomorrow morning. I've figured out a way to rig it functional so we can dry clothes. The gas engine procedure in the attic helped a lot. He's replacing the main control panel tomorrow. This is week 4 and I'm probably going to demand an additional year of coverage over this drawn out process.

Ben the Plumber - Day 2: I've been thru 2 new wax rings already. 2 lifelines to dad and I'm still no further along than I was before I started. Except for knowledge. I've learned a lot from it. They main thing I've learned is that I hope I have the money to pay someone else to do this next time. Lining up the bolts with the bowl holes is a real pain. I probably should have taken the tank loose from the bowl, but figured that would cause more leaks. I'm sore from wrestling the thing around all day yesterday. The real reason I'm still working on it is because the flange was broken and all 4 times I aligned the toilet over the bolts and then tried to tighten them, it would slip out of the lock. This part is not easy to replace unless you saw off the main pipe under the floor. I got some compound putty and let it dry overnight. This will probably make things easier.
