Maybe you've done this already but starting a separate thread about the plumbing issue might get you some more answers.  Be sure to give lots of details.

…… grateful for systems that work.. I’ve spent many years setting up and practicing peaceful coexistence with others.. it’s important to me that the home is where mindfulness lives.. such peace comes at the cost of slight personal discomfort ; and this sort of discipline is fractions of a penny comparably to the bounty of knowing peace.. it wasn’t easy to adopt new habits but it was simple enough and I knew it was for the better ultimately.. minding others so that I can have peace of mind—a priceless practice..

…… grateful for star trek (the next generation; “TNG”).. I’m not the greatest fan of the whole saga library, but I am up for watching TNG episodes.. as a child surfing the channels of TV-land, I would skip past any channel that was showing TNG.. just thought it was the most boring show ever made.. now I kinda think it’s one of the greatest ever.. maybe because it came to me in my late 30’s, after having realized where humanity might be headed.. to see a future where servitude and peace mean something.. and uniforms—I love the simplicity of a uniform.. tried fashion; settled on boring, at least for daily attire.. once in a while I’ll get dressed up and done up, but really who am I trying to impress? The store clerk? There are no stores in TNG..

Trying to convince Paul that he needs to issue standardized overalls to the boots?

…… grateful for discomfort.. for most of my life I had adopted the belief that comfort was my main objective.. in time I came to realize that comfort is nearly if not always temporary.. so then to embrace discomfort would become my new comfort.. but how? And is comfort the thing I am actually seeking? Perhaps not.. I believe now that peace is what i most desire.. not necessarily comfort, because once achieved, it tends to wane.. my desire and hope for a lasting peace settles me stomach much better than ‘comfort’.. if comfort is fleeting, I would also conclude that discomfort is also temporary.. and discomfort can simply be an indicator of something rather than an insult.. to peace, and refreshed perspectives.. discomfort is only for a season.. I can learn to enjoy it..

Coydon—actually a nice pair of water proof heavy duty utility overalls could be an everyday thing for me.. Andover imagine that most other people would opt for form over function when it comes to apparel.. also I love pockets.. my current uniform has over 20 pockets and I use all of them regularly , for my everyday carry items.. even if they were standard issue, I can’t help but think most of them would collect dust.. :( maybe when I current uniform gets shredded to the point of no return, I will invest in the ultimate overall.. which isn’t too far away from the looks of my pants.. until then I’ll post a reply to the boots love thread! :) thanks!
