I drove up the mountain today, because icy mountain roads in a two wheel drive are kinda my thing.

Plus, I was listening to a mashup of Boz Scaggs and The Frost Heaves, so there was no fear in Mudville.

I'd be interested in hearing that.

Sure.  I've got the file on my home comp.

ASK ME. ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS.

It took me much longer than it really should have to figure this out.
How do you know this?

Because I gotta always learn the hard way.

I called my landlord and he's fixing it tomorrow.  :lulz:

Shit, it's somebody else's problem... even better.

I have had a leaky shower for over a year  :sad:

I have bypassed the problem but to properly fix it I think we're going to have to fully replace it. I don't think my DIY skills are up to redoing a bathroom unfortunately.

On the other hand, one of my key skills is ignoring small problems until they become big ones so I can probably get another six months at least out of the hose valve I added before it or my girlfriend finally gives in.

You probably just need a new stem valve gasket, depending on the age of the shower. They're super easy to replace.

Have you considered that it might be the stem valve gasket, instead?

Unrelated to anything, I just learned that our facilities department is abbreviated FAPAIM. I don't know what it stands for, but FAPAIM  sent me a confirmation email for my request to have our hazardous waste removed.

Hopefully they have good enough FAPAIM that they don't get contamination everywhere.

New record for driving down the mountain today.  14 minutes 52 seconds from the parking lot to route 86.

If not, let's hope they at least follow proper Jeopardous Instances of Zealous Manipulation Originating Perilous Results protocol.
