Before I silicone the heck outta this..,

The screws in the mounting plate underneath this fixture are not level. The tiny little screw that attaches this fixture to the mount is not strong enough to keep it from wiggling off level.

I can’t think of what to do other than put a bead of silicone around the four sides where it meets the tile. Does anybody have any better ideas or hacks on how to keep this fixture level?

It’s very obvious, of course, when it wiggles out out of alignment with the grout in the tile.

The playoffs make strange bedfellows

Because I’m half Canadian I have always had a Canadian team - typically the Leafs because I grew up near Tronna in the Sittler era. But that does not diminish my loyalty to my adult/chosen team, the Kings, who I followed closely before and during their rebuild when I lived there. I was at the prospects game in El Segundo when Kopi and Patrick Sullivan first wowed the home crowd.

So who to root for in the playoffs? Always have to give a Canadian team some love - and it’s easy to cheer for the Habs’ young team. (Plus Danault!)

But I can’t believe I’m also cheering for the Ducks. I know…blasphemy. But I’ve never been a fan of the Knights largely due to my love for the Kings. And watching the ducks right now is pretty fun. They totally ran over the Oilers, which was pleasant after seeing the Kings repeatedly eliminated in the first round by them.

Hey, I’m here to watch the best hockey in the world, at the best time of the year. Go Ducks…for now.

I was driving through Tacoma yesterday on I-5, a bit punchy after a long weekend of travel, and for the first time in my life realized that if you simply added the letter N at the end of ‘Tacoma’, it would spell TacoMan.

57 years old, 20+ living in the PNW. First time I ever saw TacoMan.
