1.In case any of you missed it, here is a link to the first installment of My plumbing nightmare.So. After being confronted by the oatmeal sodden fixtures and lump-like wad-o-directions. I did a “strategic withdrawal.” I.E I poured myself a beer, and sat and stared at the mess, considering what needed to

I must say, I was very pleased when you informed me that the Texan approved of me, even if it was mainly for my chest size! Ah well, I guess you can't expect much subtlety from a voice that suggests you confront a bathroom installation with dynamite and hooch.

The Derby was certainly very fun to watch. Not so fun was wandering the bullet-hole-riddled back slums of Holyoke in search of an ATM, only to find one that froze on you the first time, and gifted us with a loading graphic of what appeared to be a dancing cookie. I still can't figure out which place I'd rather shop at, Save A Lot, or Sav-Mor. I think I'm going to go for Sav-More, despite its sketchy ATM and dubious wares such as votive candles of no discernable brand, and XXXtremeHold Hair Gel. Not just because "more" is obviously more than "a lot", but because you can tell they care about lowering overhead costs by using their vowels sparingly. I think the bullet hole count was about the same, though.

Holyoke

Where in Holyoke? I'm presuming the old section, the section that used to house the Irish and polish immigants that worked in the factories that made Hokyoke the Millionaries playground in 1870.
Where they cut down all the trees and named the streets after them ;).
Walking there takes nerves of steel.

Why yes, we spent most of the time walking down Maple st. Tho we did visit oak st. briefly as well. I am used to neighborhoods like that, having lived in more than a few of them myself while growing up.

Now that is one epic battle. Glad to hear you got the best of the situation by the end of the day. And here's hoping you got to enjoy that bottle of hooch The Texan was recommending. You should always take under advisement your subcontractor's advice. ;)

That's fantastic that you were able to work the plumbing situation and get paid for it. Fucking bravo! :-D

[scarletcarsen]

I got a feeling that if you started larping again, all those voices would come back. Just a hypothesis!
Also I think your mother and my mother are long lost sisters. Only thing is, I can't lie to her, she's to much of an instigator. And yes, even over the phone.
Once your done with this project we should meet up half way again for dinner in Gardner.

[sothe]

yes, meeting up in Gardner sounds really nice. It would be great to see you again!

And for now, the plumbing project is done, yay!
