I've featured this band before, and if you've followed their recent work, before the current release, they created a trilogy of albums that is quite good. Each album has a theme:
- Hombre Lobo ~ Desire
- End Times ~ Loss
- Tomorrow Morning ~ Redemption
Below are videos of two songs on the new album. Both connect to my moods this afternoon.
I went into the office this morning after dropping off the kids to do some work. I was finished by 11 and went home to install the cabinet above the toilet in our half-bath we just remodeled.
Days ago when I first tried to install it, I had trouble with the wall anchors and screws. It was frustrating. This morning I tried it again, and they did the same damn thing they did previously ~ anchors not staying in the wall correctly, which makes the mounting bracket not be secure.
I tried it again. Same deal. Madness.
Curse words yelled at inanimate objects, invective lobbed at the manufacturer of the product, these were the sounds inside my house around 11:20 am.
I went to the hardware store again to get bigger anchors to see if those will work. I returned home and tried it all again ~ curse words yelled at inanimate objects, invective lobbed at the manufacturer, the dog scared and hiding out in my son's room.
I returned to the hardware store yet again to find a solution. A gentleman who works at Ace asked if I needed any help. I responded with an emphatic yes and told him the situation. I showed him the manufacturer's anchor and screw, and he asked a great question about the weight of the cabinet. He then directed me toward the same anchor I had used before, which initially raised ire inside me, but then he said the manufacturer should have provided a fatter screw.
I bought the new-old anchors and the new screws, went home, and installed the damn thing with no problems. Kudos to you Ace worker. Kudos.
So below are "Bombs Away" & "Peach Blossom" that signify part of my day so far.

We have a cabinet that we've tried fixing two at least three times and while it is functional it hangs slightly wrong and there's a gap that makes me say internal curse words each time I get a cookie sheet or cutting board out of it. Maybe our problem was going to Lowes, Menards, and Home Depot instead of Ace Hardware?
I love a good hardware store. Looks like I'm going to Ace again tomorrow to purchase anchors and screws to hang some other stuff.
But we've gotten good advice at Home Depot before. I wish we had a Lowe's in these parts. They tend to have a better selection of wares compared to HD.
