Frodo, thanks for the drain fix recommendations-- that's actually what I told my friends they should do as soon as I saw it. One other issue though: Its hard to see but on the very far right side, the cast iron pipe is resting on a block of wood just after it starts and the wood forces the pipe to angle upward. Do you think raising the trap a little will allow them to alter the angle of the cast-iron pipe at all?
Meanwhile, yesterday I took my friend to a town an hour away to get his vehicle registered. We get there and it turns out the notary back in town forgot to put the date and stamp the page with the date so DMV wouldn't do the registration. Tried a notary across the street and they said they couldn't do anything without the seller present- but the seller is in Alabama now. So we had to drive all the way back to town so my friend could have the notary add the date and stamp it (at no charge since she messed up in the first place). Then we had to drive all the way back (I was driving so I wasn't able to get a picture of the "muffler man"-- a scarecrow looking thing up against a utility pole that had a muffler for a head and someone had drawn a face on it). Stopped to eat and to get a new mouse and an APC so the power outages won't keep shutting my computer off. Headed back to town again and had to stop to get $ to loan my friend to get insurance (he kept calling to get quotes until he found one he wanted). He signed up and was going to get the inspection sticker but it took so long to do everything that we just missed closing time (they all close up at like 3:30 to 4pm). So he has to wait until Monday. Got a catfish dinner to take home to Mom.
I discovered that the creamed something with chipped beef at Golden Corral is absolutely disgusting. My brother tasted if first and made a face and said "This is awful". Then I made the mistake of tasting it. Ugh... I wiped my tongue off with a napkin. The sauce itself wasn't so bad, but the "beef"... ick...
I need to do something productive at home today. And by productive, I don't mean like making the South Park versions of some Criminal Minds characters, which is what I did to relax yesterday and this morning. The south park create-a-character studio thing is fun.
