One of my favorite tools
Lest you think I do absolutely nothing to earn my keep. Today, I reconnected the dishwasher. And I am not fond of working with water OR electricity. Especially so close together.
This is where the hot water connects to the unit.
This is where the electrical power connects to the unit.
What? What is that, you ask? HOW do I know how to connect a dishwasher?
Well, I don't. That is what the internet is for. Go RepairClinic.com!
And how do I muck around under the dark dishwasher while keeping both hands free?
Headlamp. REI headlamp.
This is my homage to Olivia Newton John, circa 1982.
Because nothing says "EIGHTIES!" like a headband. And nothing says "HOME IMPROVEMENT GEEK" like a headband with LED lights on it. It's one of my favorite tools. Also awesome for reading in bed at night.
(C'mon. You're singing it in your head now, aren't you? Aren't YOU?! Admit it. Yeah, right HouseMade! I hear you!!! You too, Ninja.)

Hot!
I used to love that song until I saw the music video. Then I thought ONJ was awfully mean for flogging those poor flabby people into an aerobic workout on the holodeck of the Starship Enterprise. Tsk.
In other news, I think I might buy Don one of those headlamps for christmas. He'd love it.

I have a headlamp, but I use it for backpacking and not for my home improvement endeavors. I'm sure that will change once we start getting into plumbing and electrical-type stuff. Maybe REI should start targeting their ads towards DIYers...
