And now... Home improvement guru!

I am not dead. I still exist. In fact, I exist in a world filled with home repair goodness. I have successfully replaced the fill valve on my house's only toilet. This helps me maintain my good standing as a male in general. This had been in some debate lately, what with a post about women's pants along with gardening and general upkeep of house plants related discussion. It's good to be back as a man, screwing things in, testing water pressure, uttering words like "gasket" and generally showing that I do, indeed have the ability to fix things. I also avoided using caulk because I hate saying "caulk." Sorry. Well, that and the fact that caulk is generally not used in toilet tank fill valve replacement. But that's neither here nor there.

This little glimpse into my life is all you're getting tonight. I hope you've enjoyed it. I hope it has been life-affirming. You even get a picture of my whisper-quiet toilet refill valve. I know you are in awe. Try not to let that feeling linger too long. You don't want to spoil the rest of your life for other awe-inspiring things, after all.
