2/16 (it's a measurement not a date)

Hello Sportsfans,

I know it has been a long time and I know that many of you have probably stopped checking this so that means that I am just rambling into cyberspace, but I have missed writing. It is somewhat therepeutic I believe. It is also the last time that I will be calling anybody that is bored enough to read my ramblings, "sportfans". See, I couldn't come up with anything clever and since "Dogg Pound" has been waaaay overused it was all I could come up with. However, I was watching Scrubs one day and they were ridiculing the use of the word "sportsfans". Since I get most of my medical eduation from that show (well at least the most important stuff anyways...HAHAHA!) I must stop using this word so as not to be termed "a dork".
So I am not really a handyman in case many of you were not aware. I like it when I fix minor things and I like the idea of being Mr. Fix-it but I mean let's face it. I am not 6'2'' orhave bulging biceps, and the thought of me walking, no strutting, into a room with my toolbelt saying "I'll fix it" is frankly quite hilarious. Anyways, over the holidays our utility bill was twice what is normally was. Merry Freakin' Christmas from MLGW huh? Well, this window in the attic had been busted since we moved in and I being the Sherlock Holmes that I am just figured that was where we were losing heat. So off to Lowe's I went. I had my measurements, the tools, I had done research, I was ready. I needed this. Especially after Casey and I tried to change a light fixture that almost caused the third world war. So imagine my surprise when I got home and the window didn't fit. So I remeasured the glass which was cut long. So back to Lowe's I went. The glass was recut and off to the attic I went. I put the glass in and at the very last glazing point (which holds the glass in place) I heard CRACK! Yup I broke it! Then I decided to wait for my father-in-law who was coming in town for business and who pretty much built his house from the ground up. So we tried to put in the spare piece and it was to big. So it's Thursday by this point (about 3 days later) and I went back to Lowe's for the third time. When I got home guess what? It didn't fit. So for the 4th time in almost as many days I am back to Lowes'. I had them cut it small and the spare piece smaller. I was putting a window in DANG IT! At the end of my time at Lowe's the guy noticed on the recut that his machine that it was cutting 2/16 or 1/8 of an inch long. I mean does nobody measure anymore! GAAAAAAHHHH I wanted to rip my freakin' hair out! But for now I am going to relish the fact that for a brief moment I was Mr (Almost) Fixit!

Until Next Time,

Jeff
