Thanks for the link to 'Il Divo...Hi Julian,<br /><br />Thanks for the link to 'Il Divo'. I'll definitely look them up.<br /><br />One of my favorite operatic moments is when Bugs is giving Elmer a haircut... (I couldn't resist it).<br /><br />One thing I didn't mention in the story of kitchen disaster - yesterday morning, when I make coffee, I did that. As I was sitting surfing the news channels on the TV, I suddenly realized I wasn't hearing the burbling of the coffee maker. "Dangit, I forgot to turn it on", I thought. So, I dashed out to the kitchen.<br /><br />To my dismay, the red light was on, but no worky-worky from the machine. Deader than the proverbial doornail.<br /><br />Luckily, we had a spare down in the pool house, which I retrieved and was able to create some magic juice and save the morning.<br /><br />I dissected the dearly departed, but could find no discernible problem and, it's probably not worth the trouble or expense to repair. I think we got about 10 years service from it, so it was time.<br /><br />Thinking about this is making me want to fire up the newcomer maker a tad early. Might just do that anyway and listen to 'Il Divo' while I'm at it.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-65404958621135524912012-01-26T20:14:50.595-06:002012-01-26T20:14:50.595-06:00On that link I sent you earlier -- be sure to copy...On that link I sent you earlier -- be sure to copy both lines together and paste into your browser.<br /><br />JulianJRinSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221452682380379316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-90331304213239287902012-01-26T20:13:39.616-06:002012-01-26T20:13:39.616-06:00Hi there,
I just thought of something to take you...Hi there,<br /><br />I just thought of something to take your mind off your worries -- a little bit. We've just discovered (4 years or so late) a wonderful singing group known as "Il Divo". Simon Cowell, of all people, found these guys and put them together. Their music is called "popera" or "operatic pop" or just "classical crossover."<br /><br />Whatever the genre -- what you have is four great soloist, each having a good career of 10 years or so, put together and told to come up with a new way to sing some "non opera" music with their great, trained voices. They really are awesome. Here is a link to one of their videos on youtube:<br /><br />http://www.clarrissegill.com/videoclips/amazing_grace.php<br /><br />Enjoy -- I sincerely hope you can view them and see what I mean.<br /><br />Good luck,<br /><br />JulianJRinSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221452682380379316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-17034055245656820052012-01-25T12:20:40.661-06:002012-01-25T12:20:40.661-06:00Hi Colleen,

See, that's the problem and the ro...Hi Dennis,<br /><br />See, that's the problem and the romance of a third world (excuse me, 'developing') country.<br />This POS sink has no punch-outs, it came with no clips, it does have a ridge underneath for clips. But, and it's a big 'but', the only clips available anywhere are these cheesy things that come with no instructions or even a drawing of how it's supposed to work.<br />Now, we add in the fact that there's only about six inches under the bottom of the sink to work in for half of the sink. This includes the drain pipe assembly.<br />So, anyway, long story short, as they say, it's all back together with no leaks. Good enough, I say!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Dave<br />PS - We went out to eat last evening since the kitchen is a wreck - still need to clean up after all is said and done. We each had a bodacious burger at Primo's and the Belikin was ice cold. - dDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-45006379796295908442012-01-24T21:53:56.447-06:002012-01-24T21:53:56.447-06:00Dave, Dave, Dave ....

I have had more experience with loosening them (and having them fall on my glasses; yes wear safety glasses!). Google sink clips! Including http://www.nextag.com/sink-clips/products-html for other images. I hate sink clips!!!<br /><br />DennisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
