on a toilet if you are pissed/frustrated/depressed over your team losing a ballgame. After the Vikings lost their playoff game tonight, I decided to do a very simple procedure and replace a toilet seat. Very simple right?
However, as I was replaying every play by Joe Webb in my head, I realized too late that I was loosening the wrong bolt. I loosened the one that connects the tank to the toilet instead of the toilet seat. I quickly started re-tightening the bolt as soon as water started pouring out and then heard a cracking sound . . . not good. Now I get to make a run to Lowe's in the morning and buy a new tank.
Oh yeah, to make matters even better, my 7th grade daughter has two of her friends here for a sleep over. They think it is very novel to have to pour a bucket of water into the bowl to flush it. I am sure I will be the talk of the 7th grade on Monday . . .

Carolina, that is a classic! +1
As a footnote to my fiasco, went to Lowe's this morning, bought a new tank and easily installed it in about 15 minutes. All is now well.
frosty, you nailed it regarding the Vikings QB situation. I am hoping they do as well with this year's draft as they did last year. Kalil, Smith and Walsh were difference makers as rookies. I also follow some Vikings' boards and Bray and CP are often mentioned!

While your at the store swing into COSTCO and pick up a memory foam bath mat. I know it sounds crazy.... bought one today and the wife and i seem to walk into the bathroom just to stand on it.
I see a few more in my near future.
