Instructions???

This is NOT what I wanted to face after being up 16 hours…

Knobs, two shower heads, and not a hint of what to turn or how to get what to work…

Pull, push, turn (in which direction for what)… Sigh…

Finally got the ‘thing’ to work, and got on the right shower head. I’m too damn old to play guessing games at that time of night…

And for the ladies, SHOES… Saw this display of different high-heeled shoes.

The interesting part is, these are miniatures!!! Apparently these give you the choices, and you pick the style, then they go get the size(s) you want to try…

I know this is a holiday weekend, so I hope each and everyone has a great weekend with family!

Instructions??? — 12 Comments

  1. On the shower controls. I was helping a friend set up some shelving in his new house. It came time to leave and all I had to do was set the deadbolt. I absolutely could not get it set. One of the carpenters saw my struggle and showed me how it worked.

    Now I am officially dumber than a doorknob.

  2. There’s a metal ring around the spigot in my tub. You have to turn on the water, then pull down the ring for the shower to operate. I have to demonstrate this to houseguests – it’s the weirdest thing.

  3. Dude, you are retiring. You should be downsizing and slowing down. Let the young’uns do all the work stuff.

  4. That plumbing set-up looks like “Hilton”. Took me a few tries first time, too.

    Fair winds and a following sea, my friend.

  5. Better a shower than no shower at all. However, after 16 hours you needed a hot jacuzzi with jets that would nearly pulse the skin off you.

    I’m sorry you’re having to burn the candle at both ends.

  6. That shower looks like a test: how are your problem-solving skills after a 14 hour flight?
    Reminds me of the shower in my hotel room in Santa Cruz, Bolivia years ago. Two wires wrapped in Masking Tape going from the wall to the shower head. Instant-hot water heater! I was worried about headlines that might appear the next day in the news: “US Airman electrocuted in Bolivia”.
    Safe travels, I promise not to eat too much of the dog food while you’re gone.

  7. After entering, close door “A”
    Open waste tap “B” and flush tap “C” with lever “D”, causing door “A” to be blocked.
    Open cover “E”.
    Move lever “F” to “use”.
    Use lavatory “G”.
    Open waste tap “H” and flushing tap “I”.
    Move lever “F” to “flush” position (do this more carefully the deeper the submarine is submerged) until compartment “J” is barely filled.
    Open shut-off valve “K”.
    Move lever “F” carefully to position “eject”.
    Compartment “J” is filled through “K” and “L” with air from the 12 ATM system.
    Move lever “F” carefully to the “air waste” position. In this position, the air flows out of compartment “J” through valve “M” to the foulwater tank and on to the battery compartment through pipe “O”.
    Lever “F” stays in the “air waste” position when the lavatory is not in use.
    Close and lock taps “H” and “I”.
    Close lever “E”.
    Close taps “B” and “C” with lever “D”.

    What’s so hard about that?

  8. John- LOL, I know what you mean… sigh

    Mrs.C- I’ve seen those… sigh

    CP- Tryin… the ‘youngster’ on this trip is 48… 7 of us are over 60, with four over 66… sigh

    Rev- Yep. Your tower…

    LL- Thanks, somebody’s got to do it…

    WN- Ah yes, 3rd world… There’s chicken pot pie in the freezer…

    WSF- Yeah, but it got up and left…

    McThag- THAT I understand, I’ve used those a time or two!!! 🙂

  9. Tim- I think she’s at least as old and creaky as I am… sigh

    Rick- Frustrating is more like it…
