You do know replacement rubber doodoohickey thingies cost less than $2 at Lowe's?

Yes. Not to mention that it mould have meant having to put on a shirt and shoes, and going to the hardware store, which would take a minimum of a half an hour (and probably closer to an hour, as I'd be riding my bike), and it would cost me money. If you don't value your $2, feel free to send them to me, but now I have $2 I can spend on something else (like enough gas to shuttle a bunch of kayaks up-river for another run). Also, we're not talking about something that's going to sit on display in my living room, so I don't care what it looks like, as long as it functions.

Yeah, but where is the fun in that?

Exactly.

Total cost the other way: 1 hour + $2 + inconvenience factor
Return on investment: a working toilet

Total cost my way: less than 15 minutes + $0
Return on investment: a working toilet + enough satisfaction to post about it.

Looks like the return on my investment was way higher, too!

Remember.... money can't buy everything.

Cheers,
