Here's the spoiler: had First Chair and Second Chair brought the Grey Books out of the storage facility for the kidnappers to view, then the point of episodes 5 and 6, and part of 4, vanishes. That's how safe deposit boxes and closed stack libraries and special collections all work: you request an item, your qualifications are checked, and if you are allowed, they bring the specific box or book to you in a little room. Jeezes petes.

Have MI5 check what is in the boxes before the kidnappers look at the files and poof, the plot vanishes even faster.

Or is the point of the episode that First and Second Chair are oblivious to a simple solution? And Lamb doesn't suggest it because he "can't be arsed."

At Menard's, the no-name brand that looks 95% the same as the Weber branded hose is $15: https://www.menards.com/main/outdoors/grills-outdoor-cooking/grill-replacement-parts/charbroil-reg-gas-grill-4-hose-and-adapter/cb3250193p4/p-1444446256781-c-1461078035989.htm

The Weber hose is $44. https://www.weber.com/US/en/parts--et--support/replacement-parts/gas-grill-parts/gas-replacement-parts/6501.html

Are there actual differences? I don't think I'll cook better with a hose that cost more than double...

The current president is personally selecting the grass to reseed the White House lawn.

I have mixed feelings. I'd like to think that the president could safely entrust seed selection to whoever does turf management work around the White House, and focus on, oh, the economy, an agreement with Iran, improving the health and welfare of U.S. citizens.

On the other hand, selecting grass seed and screwing it up doesn't much affect anybody, so maybe we need MORE nonconsequential decisions for the president.

So: Suggestions for Susie Wiles to distract the Trumpertantrum? Add them below.

History note: Carter was criticized for managing the schedule of the White House tennis courts during his presidency. So: who is waiting for the GOP to paint Trump as a closet Democrat when this term of office concludes?

The walls seem to be dry, but the floor around the base of the toilet is reading 90% or higher moisture on a Klein Tools ET140 moisture meter. . . so I suspect that the wax seal is no longer sealing.

I've turned off the water, flushed the toilet to drain out as much of the water as I can, and set up a fan to pull the moisture out of the floor (there's an access panel on the opposite side of the wall).

I checked the walls and ceiling on the first floor under the location where the toilet sits and they are reading at 17% to 20%, which is what other walls in the house read. I also checked the wall behind the toilet and it's also at 17% to 20%. I have been careful to change the mode on the moisture meter to "masonry" and "drywall." Checked other toilets in the house and they are at 40%, which seems high as well.

I'm inclined to call a plumber to repair the toilet even though I've done other plumbing work before. Opinions?
