Pretty zapped.

I did get a shower in.  I didn't shave though.  Forgot.  Dinner was just eaten.  I did make a couple of calls, and have a part on the way, plus I called my friend.  He thinks dinner tomorrow would work, shooting maybe Thursday.  I has been a while since I shot the .45, so that will be good.  Two pistols for me.  He has a whole lot to choose from in his collection.

I would still like to get into town.  Not sure if that will happen.  Tired.  Very tired.  Then again it is Walmart.  A nap and a late rise wouldn't be all bad.  With going out to supper tomorrow,  I best do some laundry when I wake.  I'm not quite desperate for clean clothes but it's close enough.  Not much else is probably going to happen until I get a little sleep.  I did need a day of rest.  Tomorrow should be rather light, and then another day of rest before the part shows up.  Then... I'll tackle it all again.  Hopefully one last work attack in the kitchen.


After that, as I said, getting my home in some kind of order is the next bit.  I need to clean, and organize, to within my capacity.  Then I can begin on the bathroom valves and faucet.  And, I just noticed, from time to time, the tub faucet is dripping.  Just for a while, after use.  But it is about to give out.  I'll be doing research on that in the meanwhile, probably right now before I head to bed.  I'll review, then bookmark it.  I think those faucets aren't too difficult to fix.  Just replacing the washers?  Now, getting to the washers might be a trick.  Bleh.

Ah, here we go.   Now, if I am going to replace one I will simply do both at the same time.  And, it looks like I will get a new tool after all!  Might as well have it on hand, even if it isn't needed.  I doubt if it will be, for the leaking bathtub faucet.  However, rather than try to change the water shut-off valve, with this tool and new information, I might well see about fixing them.  Just a thought, anyway.  Finding a multi-packet of washers.  Might as well have some on hand.  Even if they don't fit, they can tell me what sizes they aren't, and give me a chance at guessing which size they are.  Measuring isn't always exactly what it might seem.

Hmm, a stem few other tools are on the list from having looked at another video.  I'm not sure they will be needed, but from the looks of things a handle puller and stem puller will be needed, with scale removal gunk and valve packing will definitely be needed.  Assuming a repair is possible.  These tools would at least buy me some time.  Changing those valves will not be easy.  And, as they are, a plumber might be the better way to go, if fixing them doesn't work.  Valve replacement, as complicated as these seem, might be a bit out of my league, though I will continue to look for more information.  The thing about trying it myself first, and failing, is that plumbers can be difficult to get in.  A week?  Two weeks?  Depends on the time of the year and luck of the draw even in typically less busy times.  Bleh.  Then again, I do have water stored and now how to use it.  Well... and I could cap off the inlet and still have water from the outside faucet...  Urhm... if I cut the correct side.  :p  *laughing*  Oh yeah, there is that.

Good night.
