I found a gas leak to my water heater around 8pm Sunday night. I cut the feed ,called the gas company, and they removed the pipe.
I fixed it the next day with a $30 kit.

All I thought about is how much I'd have to pay someone to rush over and fix it Monday. Then I did it myself.

I've never fucked with gas lines other than swagelok stuff in labs that isn't hooked to an unlimited supply. Scary stuff.

I'd be too scared of missing some crucial thing and blowing myself up later. Would definitely call some kind of expert.

It's threaded pipe, breh. Wrap some teflon tape around each end and screw it in. If I paid someone and watched him/her do what I did, I'd have looked at the mirror with a huge

New freezees are dildo shaped, so they don't cut the corners of your mouth. Feels good man.

Does that not look like something one might be tempted to stick up their ass but doesn't due to social norms? Also they are bigger than they look in that pic. Here they look more like tampons than dildos.

The top tube on my race bike has a fair amount of duct tape around it to protect the external cabling from my drop bars because they're both the same height until I have a chance to fuck around with lowering the stem / slamming the stem. Shit works.

I lost the screw that holds the brake pads to the frame so instead of buying a new one I just taped it all together. I'm not exactly handy but it'll work for now.

I broke part of the shower caddy thing that hangs on the shower neck yesterday. It holds all the soaps/shampoos and shit.
I lost the screw for something down the drain when it broke so I used this band of metal and some pliers to wrap the metal around and rig that shit.

It looks ghetto af, but fuck it. It works.

Really buff old gay dude tried to pick me up while I was walking Nami and a pretty girl in a sun dress on the bench in the park smiled at me (to which I quickly adverted my eyes, looked down at the ground, glanced up, looked down again and shuffled off).

Discovered a small bump on one of my balls and decided to head to the doctor. Turns out it's an ingrown hair or something, likely caused by the last time I shaved down there; I twirl the hair strands and cut them off with scissors. No cancer for me, brehs.

but the struggle is that it does look kinda suspect. I'd hate for a chick to see it and think it's something else lol.

Salmon River Shiver IPA

Unusually, I liked the red better than the IPA. It was dreamy.
