Will see how I feel after a rest. Till later…

Still got all the stuff I needed to get done today to do. Don’t think any of it will get done as I am exhausted.

Stocked up. Should have gotten more but sale will be on till Tuesday so may go back. Got milk at the Shell station and saved a $1+.

Just made a run to Food Land in Alexandria where assorted Bush’s beans/blackeyed peas were 2/$1, sausage 4lbs/$5, ground chuck $2.29 lb.

After all the prep was done took about 20 minutes and that included finding rubber and steel washers to anchor the tank to the wall.

Cut the shape of the base out of the plastic as well as a 7 1/8 inch circle out where the flange fits. Installed it and then the toilet.

Got back, found a 1/4 inch sheet of plastic and cut a spacer to set the toilet up a bit as the cement floor has sunk but the flange hasn’t.

Got an additional wax ring in case the one included didn’t include a funnel, which it did so will take the other one back next trip.

As Marvin’s was about $10 higher per unit went on to Lowe’s where we found the cheapest one out of stock, so got the $79 one instead.

After taking the tank off, found additional cracks in the base so time for new toilet. Got ready and went to Lowe’s with a stop by Marvin’s.

Upon investigating found the tank had a weeping crack all the way down the front??? Not sure when or how it happened but had to be replaced.

So much for the things I wanted to get done today. Went into the bathroom and noticed water on the floor behind the toilet.

First, more coffee though…

Ended up reading about machining and clock repair till I made an early night of it last night. Hoping to get several things done today.

Supper started. Or breakfast for supper. Doing hash browns, corned beef, and eggs. Too tired to get fancy tonight.
