First I stuck around a while and watched RHP finally vanish..... I went to FW site for a bit. RHP is my homepage, so when I got online later I found RHP back up when it should not be. Wrote a post and checked my email. That evening I went down the road to a friend's and recruited someone to help me on Toilet Day.

We played some scrabble and I won, first time winning there out of about 8 games we've played? Some of the stuff these 2 guys say cracks me up. We were playing with 5 people.

Someone throws GLADE up and one guy says, 'Glade? Use it in a sentence, the word is Everglades'.

'Would you like to challenge that?'

'No, but it's not a word. Use it in a sentence'.

'Would you like to challenge it?'

'No'.

Next comes AFLAME. same guy says, 'You can't use a flame, I could use a car or a boat'.

'Dude, aflame is a word... your head is aflame'.

'No, you can set a flame on my head, but it would be on fire'.

'Would you like to challenge it'?

'No, but it's not a word'.

Next, another bright guy says, 'I see HAPPY, can I put MAN down'?

'Sure, go ahead'.

'HAPPYMAN'.

'Dude, what are you doing'?

'I can't use HAPPYMAN? You used a flame'.

'Gah'!!!

Next day was Toilet Day. My friend D and I went to get the handle and water feed portion of the toilet. Climbed in and had the toilet tip top in about 40 minutes. Started to leak at first, but realized we had an extra new part that fit better. Now the toilet is all fixed up.

That is about my adventures for the 24+ hours RHP was down.

I did not see where you asked for a 200 word essay on the subject. I see a lot of quick answers to your question... this thread is for detailed information.

Went for a relaxing drive in the country, then got to wondering what if the wheel balancing weights suddenly let go and the car started vibrating, reached a critical resonance and tore itself to pieces?
Better safe than sorry, pulled over and checked the weights for the 10th time that day, made sure the caps for the air fillers were tight, but not too tight, (of course after checking the tire pressure) checked all fluid levels again (never know when a leak can happen) made sure all lights were working, checked the exhaust for the first signs of oil burning, made sure the parking brake held on a grade, readjusted the mirrors, cleaned the glass, jacked the car up to inspect the wheel bearings-well you know, just normal stuff and continued on. Half a click later I realized I had neglected to remove the wheels to inspect the brake condition so I turned around and returned home with the 4 way flashers on.
Just a fun day.
