The Lamsion: Taco Thursdays...

Sort of. Keeping with the tradition of going to Lowe's with J [he is the white guy who wore Oakley's as eye protection in the previous post.] on Thursday and grabbing Tacos, we went to THREE god damn Lowe's today. We needed to buy the following:

15 CFL Dimmable Flood Lights
4 CFL Regular Flood Lights
16 Recessed Lighting Housing
20 Recessed Lighting Trim
3 Dimmer Switches
and some minor stuff for the Sliding Door Install [yep, I capitalized it. Shit is real. Stuff: 2x4 4x6 flashing etc]

Anyways, went to the Lowe's on Brokaw [love that one by the way, big up to Jordan he is the MAN there]. They only had 12 Dimmable Flood Lights. Is Dimmable a real word? I keep on getting the red squiggly line, oh well. So I had them check the system, and then we had to make a decision. 15 lights at the one on Coleman or 44 at the one in Sunnyvale [don't act like you don't know where this is, next to CHEETAH's. All Nude. All Day. yep. honestly? Don't go there at lunch.] So we figured Coleman has to have it, yeah...no. They had 9, they were 1 case short. FML. Went to Sunnyvale and boom, they had 20 or so on the floor, gobbled them up. Then it came to the lights, which was a easy pick. 8 bucks a pop for a 6 pack. Bought 2 extra but it was cheaper than buying the individually. Then true leadership came through, we had to make a decision. Save a dollar on trim [times 20] and get a trim that was "off-white" or be a boss and just splurge the extra dollar. You know how we do. We got the Halo brand and balled out at 7.98 a piece. Once it was all said and done, we wasted 3 hours to pick up 500 bucks worth of stuff. Useless. Yes, get back to the house and realize we can't work on anything. The copper re-pipe was finished and they just finished putting in the gas line in the kitchen. Yep, we will have some fire coming out, so you know that real Chinese food will be cook in a wok, by who? Who knows. So we figure we will just cut the holes for the lights and hopefully they will be done and we can wire it up. But, we have not learned anything yet, nothing goes to plan. The two lights we try to install on the stair case has a beam running through the middle. No idea what to do. The living room has all of their stuff in it, so I do not want to get their stuff dirty and cut holes. So we say fck it and I treat J to Chalateco.

After Alambre Special [which is tacos with pastor, carne, bacon, b pepper, onions AND cheese], melted queso with pastor and 4 papusas and 2 large agua frescas we are done. Go back to the house, don't even walk in and just go home. Heading to Kirkwood in 6 hours. I will leave you with some pics and wish you a Happy Friday.
