Back to it.

.

I had to take a bit longer of a break.  I overheated.  It wasn't the difficulty, really, it was the fact that I was bent over while trying to crush the silicon out of the device while also trying not to snap the nozzle off.  I have to attach the bowl, connect the tank, hook up the water, and run another bead of silicon around the perimeter.  If I can get that done, and take a shower and a break, I might head into town for a bit of shopping and another meal.  I've been working up an appetite.  I already had supper, but...  Still hungry, or more, hungry again.  I might as well do some shopping while I am at it.  Just milk and cream, probably.

Back to it.  Later.

Yep, nope.  One of the bolts fell down in, so I had to undo everything, pull the bowl.  I spent a good hour trying to fish it out.  I am almost sure I have a tool for that, somewhere.  I wasted some time looking for that.  I could have sworn it was in my regular toolbox.  On the good side, it looks like the wax seal is very well seated.  The bolts had been sturdy, and seemed to be well seated, when I lowered the seat.  And, just to stand, they probably were.  But to get a nut to tighten on them, not so much. Well, one of them.  And all it takes is one.  In any case, I did finally fish that out, if not the easy way, and used plumber putty to hold them a little more strongly in place.  They really should have a better system for this, bolt tracks, where the bolts can be removed, for example.  It isn't that damn hard and doesn't require an engineer to create.  Gah!  Oh, but it looks like I won't need to calk along the seems.  The silicon I laid in has oozed out so as to cover even that part.  I put in a fairly heavy bead.  It's my first time working with the stuff, so...  All good.

Now I just need to replace the tank, connect the water, make sure that isn't leaking, then take a shower and decide what to do, if anything, next.  I am tired, and hungry.  The two are fighting.  Somehow, either way, I will lose.  If I am full I am not sure I will mind.  More so if the toilet works, dryly this time.  Bleh.

Later or good night.
