Big beastie power supply

 I slept until 8PM last night, woke up, took a big beastie power supply apart and put the parts I didn't want out - they were picked up by someone in a minivan in minutes - and then proceeded to... 

Stay up all night again. 

Yesterday has been a rained-out day so no going out, so I guess in a way sleeping through it made some sense. 

Waking at at 8PM as I did, I had about 2-1/2 hours to have coffee, clean the place, and make ready for Ken to come over. Which he did, at his usual time. He brought his usual junk food (burger, fries, huge cup of diet soda) and ate, then brought in some things to list. List another power supply that's not the beast the one I took part is, but pretty big and beasty and thus can be sold for more if it's parted-out. 

Ken was on a roll tonight. He dated my pay check for a week ago which is OK, at least it's not for a week ahead as he's done in the past. And somehow, in turning around in his chair, he managed to spill the big cup of diet soda all over the floor. 

So I dived in with the paper towels and Ken helped out by giving un-needed advice and moving the roll of paper towels out of my reach so I needed to get them again. "Get that spot under the rack", he advised. "I see it..." then as I made ready to do the old lay towels down and walk on them routine, he advised that I do just exactly that. "I come from a family of 5", I retorted, to explain that I know tons about cleaning up spills, thank you very much. 

I, with Ken consulting, got it sopped up pretty well, and I made Ken a tea, and we settled into the usual bull session. After solving the problems of the world he took off, after using the loo and I discovered another special favor he'd graced me with on this fine evening. Somehow, I don't know how, he'd managed to make the toilet stop working and just run all the time. 

I'm not sure how one can do this just by flushing but he'd done it. So I opened up the tank and had a look around and re-positioned the flapper valve and put some of my super-duper cleaner in there to clean things up overnight, and it should be all right.
