So lotta pain to install it and more pain to remove it. Perhaps a lesson there somewhere for some young person.
But good to hear you’re out the other end.
Congrats to flyboy for a successful repair for less than the price of a new house.
This was @Trieste 's actual post:
Baker managed to re-post their own response there upthread here too.
You keep making jokes that bad and you may need two new knees to replace the ones that got baseball-batted. 
As to me …
Her Ladyship returned from book club just in time to get here as tehe thunder hit and the rain began. But it was sun rain and we had a wonderful rainbow with a faint secondary bow out over the ocean. Yaay! The only thing better than a rainbow is two of them, one inside out. Pretty quickly the rain quit and it was nice and clear again.
Headed off to dinner at a semi-snazzy Italian place we’d not been. I had a whole wheat pasta blended with sautéed spinach and toasted garlic with braised short ribs and a bit of gravy on top. She had a meatball & peppers app as her entrée. We also had an app of olives and parm chunks. A decent Tuscan red finished the bill of fare. Nice.
Now home and winding down. Tomorrow is another day.
