Well boys & girls, this weekend marked a milestone in the Mike Choi manhood chronicles.  After eating breakfast with Rosa, Mo & the kids, I replaced the kitchen faucet!  Woohoo!

If you are an avid do-it-yourself-er, please move along and don’t attempt to rain on my parade.

As some may know, we’re in the process of trying to sell our home.  We noticed some drippage coming from the faucet that originally came with the home, and we opted to replace.  Actually, I was contemplating whether or not to do it.  Rosa was thinking we should have our regualar plumber come out and do the replacement.

Anyways, after a couple once-overs at lowes.com on how to replace a faucet as well as a couple viewings at youtube.com, I took the plunge.  The entire job took me about 2.5 hours…an hour to remove the old faucet & clean the area…and another hour & a half to install the new one.  Other than some trouble getting this washer over the connections, the entire thing was cake.  Our plumber said that he would do it for $65.  I’m glad I didn’t call him.

Well, there you have it…another chapter in the man pages of Mike Choi.

I usually like to check up on the photos that I host with flickr. Yesterday when I went, I came across this message: Due to changes in your AT&T Internet Service, your Flickr Pro account will expire on 1st February, 2009. That’s in 57 days! You can renew Flickr Pro for just $24.95 for a one-year account. And to thank you for staying with us, we’ll give you another two months at no cost.
Why is my Pro account expiring?

It turns out that AT&T has modified its relationship with flickr where one no longer gets a free pro account with flickr for having AT&T dsl. I’m not sure why. All I know is that I need to make a decision: cough up 25 per year to keep my stuff up at flickr…or go somewhere else (free or paid).

Any suggestions (I’ve already heard about smugmug)?
