“I finally have the toilet on its side.”
“Hmm,
there's no real room to get a grip on the nut, is there?”
“No—wait!
I have an idea. We can use a clamp to squeeze the tank towards the bowl.
That should expose the nut enough to get the vice grips on it.”
“Hold on … okay, how's this?”
“Perfect!
Vice grips!”
“Vice grips.”
“I think the bolt is turning with the nut.
We need to hold the bolt somehow … ”
“Vice grip?”
“I'm already using it!”
“No,
another pair of vice grips.
Right here.”
“Oh.
Unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng!
Oooommmmmmmmmmph!”
Two hours later …
“Errrrrrrrrrrrrraaaarrrrrrg!
How long is this bolt?”
“It's almost off!”
“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrrgaaaah!
There!”
“Got it!”
“And here are the other two nuts from the other bolts.
The tank is no longer attached to the bowl!”
“Hallelujah!”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
