G-MAX flush

I got up this morning at 6:30 and decided that there was plenty of time to grout my shower tile before work. See, I hired a plumber to install my shower fittings, sink and toilet, he comes on Friday. As of last night I was a bit ill prepared for finishing work on the new bathroom, thus I must make it happen. I dreamt about it all night, little scenes in my head of grout, taping, mudding, painting and oh yea, getting a toilet. Now not just any 1.6gal wimpy Home Depot toilet, no no, I was introduces to the G-Max ToTo toilet this baby gets the job done the first time I hate that low flow toilet that you have to flush multiple times just to get the paper to go down. Anyhoo, so at 7AM I went out and started mixing up the grout. The job was annoying and I probably should have had my mocha before I started. Gravity is not your friend in many cases, 1. when you are no longer rubber side down, 2. whe you step on the scale and 3. when you are putting grout on a wall and it keeps plopping onto the floor. I finally worked out a technique of keeping most of it on the wall before smooshing it in every darn crack, 4X4 tiles look pretty but that is a lot of surface area to cover in between each one. I was down to my last two rows and the bucket was lookin' a bit shy to complete the job. Momentary panic as I had no more grout in the bag, only those plops on the shower floor. I scavenged up every bit of loose grout and narrowly escaped another mishap with this fun little project that I have taken on. Sponging off the tile made me feel better, it looks really nice. My hands an wrists are supper sore but it is just one more step closer to getting done.

And now... a little rant. Things that need to be G-MAX flushed. 1. people talking on their cell phones while trying to park, resulting in blocking traffic as they try to manoeuvre their car one handed oblivious to the line of cars (and bikes, me) waiting for them. 2. The next person on their cell phone trying to back out at the same time as #1 not paying attention creating a multiple car SNAFU neither able to negotiate either pulling in or backing out because they are too busy talking on a phone. 3. It the third person on the damn cell phone who gets impatient and tries to pull out from behind #1 and #2 almost tagging the car in oncoming traffic over corrects and almost hits me! 4. Is the guy in the Beamer 5 minutes later talking on, you guessed it his cell phone as he flies past me so close that I am almost knock off my bike, plenty of room and no traffic in the other direction. I sit up and give him a very uncharacteristic for me f/u and the accompanying gesture. Yep, G-MAX to all those people who can't hang up the dang phone or at least use a headset and pay attention to something outside their little self absorbed existence. OK, I am done.
