What’s a guy to do?
So, my wife is away for 2-ish weeks and I get a full run of the house with a sidenote that it needs to look respectable when she arrives next Saturday.
What does a married guy do when left to his own means for more than two weeks
Eat Food…

|
Watch an extra dog for a few days (Izzy got to go to work with Liv)
|
More Holiday Gifts… some wicked strong coffee…
|
Break the PS3 Rock Band Guitar because I rock THAT much.
My whammy bar went limp :(
 Tiny springs make Mark ANGRY! |
Endeavor to fix it.
I chose a random retired (though functional) household electronic which has moving parts in the theory that it could have a similar tiny little spring. I was right on my first guess. Sorry CD/Clock/Radio alarm, you served us well but Rock and Roll needs your parts.

 The Victim… um… donor |
 Broken and Donor springs |
 FIXED! |
Oh Mark, you need Katy home soon! BUT, the pizza looks really tasty!

Mark, I’m so sorry your whammy bar when limp. I believe when Kate gets home she can help you with that.
ah. bachelor hood. that pizza looks way too gourmet though. totino’s is where it’s at.
(i’m glad you fixed your own whammy bar instead of going out and buying a new one)
I knew someone wouldn’t leave that double entendre alone.
As for the pizza, I had a somewhat aged Boboli crust laying around as well as a packet of sauce and some kind of white cheese… I ran out of Totinos a while ago and have trouble rebuying when I read the nutrition label. I have also been trying to make my own pizza crusts because Dylan made one in his camper last fall and I was thinking… he did that in this tiny little kitchen? I better step up!
Next, I brutalize the cabinets in the Laundry room so I can block a heating vent underneath them which is the first junction after the furnace and sends a crazy amount of heated air into a completely useless and stupid non-living area (Note: It was designed this way. Um…. Hello architect? Get an F in HVAC?).
Angry Mark is scary!
Maybe the pizza crust dough kneading developed more forearm strength than your whammy could handle…
He he he. That must have been it.
Update, I did get that heating grate blocked off yesterday. I had thought I was going to need a tiny crowbar and a keyhole saw to get in there, but I made it work with the removable blade from a bow saw and just tugging on it with my fingers (no crowbar needed with fingers like these!)
In my imagination, I just cut my heating bill by 20%. Only time will tell what the real savings is.
I love the photo emotes. I hate little springs too. When they aren’t broken, they also tend to shoot out of things when you take them apart, creating much consternation.
Hee hee hee! I came to the comments to see the double entendre pointed out and I was not disappointed!!
That pizza looks outstanding. Please mail me one as soon as possible.
