Happy Father's day

yeah..i know its early...but this isn't really for my father either. (i'll have to think of something for when he comes back from hawaii)

This past weekend, i decided to be a "handy man" and do some more house related work. I've only done minor work, but this would be a more complicated task. The garbage disposal always "sounded" like it was working, but never seemed to work right. So saturday i ended up taking it out and apart to figure out what was wrong. Smelly was an understatement, as Karen surrounded me with various scented candles in the kitchen to combat the stench.
I didn't want this to get too complicated, and was hoping to just fix the current disposal, as i wasn't looking into spending more money i didn't have. well, after taking it apart, came to the realization the current one was not going to get fixed (plate harness was rusted out). The next day, i went to lowes and picked up a replacement unit. The part i worried about the most was connecting the electrical stuff. I actually handled that pretty well, but what i didn't expect was to have to go through and repipe the whole thing and as well as the difficulty in taking out the years old rusted parts. Thanks to alfred and my aunt's angle grinder, we were able to get it done.

I have to say, i would usually "run" to my dad to get help with house related tasks, but this experience proved to me that i was ready to handle these things on my own as well. Course, working around the house with Dad is always fun too.

In other news,
here is HG's father's day wishes. If you dont' know who Haado Gei is, you're in for a treat (maybe).


Also found this musician and had to order her album. Looking forward to listening to the instramental version of Linkin Park. Never thought classical music could be so hot =p (check the video)
