We spent the weekend being grown-ups.

gridloreAnd damn, does that suck.
Saturday we replaced the shower head.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kshandra wanted something with a hand-held head, and we found a nice dual head model for cheap at OSH. Installed it with only a couple of missteps. (yes Doug, they included the washers for a reason.) Works great, and the massage setting is amazing. But we had another bathroom issue. The toilet seat had come almost completely off its mountings. The seat and the hardware were plastic, and had broken in several places. Kiri make another OSH run, coming back with a much sturdier wooden seat with stainless steel hardware. One problem: At some point someone had replaced one of the mounting bolts; this set was brass and I couldn't move the nut for love or money. Punt. Call the landlord. Luckily, he was able to make it out the same day, and not only fixed the problem but also got the light bulb base out of the kitchen light. Amazing what you can do with the correct tools. Now we just need to get new bulbs. But that's going to have to wait, as there is a state disability fuckery going on.
Somewhere in there we managed to fit in a trip to Outback Steakhouse (we had a coupon for one free dinner.) Great Halford, that food is amazing. Just a basic 6oz sirloin with fries was heavenly. I also approve of their beer mugs. It was sobering to see that Kirsten's meal alone was about we spend for both of us to eat at Chili's. I also watched a lot of football. The Niners won again and are now 6-1. The highlights of the game were Frank Gore passing Roger Craig for second place on the 49ers' all-time rushing list, and completions of 17 yards to Joe Staley and 18 yards to Isaac Sopoaga. Why are those highlights? Staley is the 49ers' starting Left tackle, and weighs 315lbs. Sopoaga is a defensive lineman and weighs in at 330lbs. Coach Jim Harbaugh is pulling out all the stops. Staley had an impressive first down move. He says he practiced it at home. He also say he has a touchdown dance ready. Know fear.
