Good morning, everyone. Today is Saturday, April 27th.

[oldgoldy97]

Rainy morning. Going to touch up paint some of the walls.

[JosieD]

Going to Old Navy to get myself some new jeans for work. I really don't want to go though.

[oldgoldy97]

Here’s our sink courtesy of Amazon.

[oldgoldy97]

Needless to say I just got back from The UPS Store and then Home Depot and Lowes. Ending up getting basically the same thing for $15 cheaper.

[oldgoldy97]

Cheaper and in one piece.

Wow that original picture was it an install piece by piece sink. The only sinks I have installed were metal and only did 2 of them as I am not that handy.

My husband brought me home an adult slushy.

Awesome. I can’t drink till after I drive my son to work and then I really can have only 1 beer until after I pick him up at 8 with my wife being out of town.

Years ago I remodeled our kitchen and bought a stainless double sink from Home Depot.
Got home and opened the box and the edge was bent.
Took it back for an exchange from the store.
Asked it they could double check the exchange before I go home.
They opened it - bent.
Got another - damaged.
They opened ALL of them - all damaged.

The store filed a claim with the manufacturer over their poor packaging since all sinks were
placed in large boxes with no bracing or any kind of protection or support.

Your sink may have been handled roughly by Amazon, but if it isn't packaged
properly to withstand shipping - that's on the manufacturer.

Like mailing a card in a PWE with no protection.

Unfortunately I saw the day change as it happened.

My wife came downstairs last night while I was watching the Yankees game and told me she may have some complications from her fall moving that tree on the road the other day. Her foot was gray and she couldn't get a pulse indicating a possible blood clot. I took her to the hospital and we were there from 10PM until 7 AM this morning; and that's after our youngest SD got her a room faster. Hospital was understaffed, 4 patients in ER coded, 2 prisoners were there, they had only 1 ER doctor, and the radiologist who could read her CT scan was in a hospital in Baltimore.

Thankfully, there was no blood clot, but they did discover fluid on her knee that she has to follow up on.

Needless to say, it was a long night and both of us are exhausted.

As tired as we both were, we still took our dog to the vet for her checkup, shots, and pills for the next six months. Mailed out my Mom's Mother's Day card after that and brought home Chic-Fil-A for our Son.

I'll be in Lancaster county, PA tomorrow for some fire station visits with friends. My wife was thinking of going so she could go to one of her favorite stores afterwards, but the having to get up at 4:30 and on the road at 5 AM changed her mind.

I think it’s best your wife stays home and relaxes.

When I worked for UPS we had someone building a house in the boonies who had 3-4 sinks in a row come through broken.

You can see in my picture that the only packing was a cardboard circle around the drain

I refused to call a game in the bottom of the 3rd today even though it was a 15 run rule. The visiting team had 2 kids that hadn't batted yet, and I wanted to make sure they got to bat.

I am sure the 2 kids appreciate that. I know the parents do.

Just opened our France snack crate. Very enjoyable.

I hope you both get some rest today.

1 of the kids got his first hit of the season. They still lost 19-0, but they left with something positive.

Some takes from this episode:

First off: sorry bout Mrs FT...
How is your SD able to get you a room faster?
Is the hospital not that busy at night that only 1 ER doctor is on call?
Did someone give her an explanation as to why the foot was gray? Presumably a lack of circulation, but if there were no clots...
