stuff to get done

The shower is still dripping..more like running now.. the tub spout is leaking and it was running under to the wall then dripping down to the lever cover..getting behind and dripping down the bottom of the tub..I now have water spots on the ceiling under the tub.. so I put some flex seal around the lever cover.
I was told I should call a plumber and I keep thinking I can do it.. I should replace the whole valve. Meaning. . Cut the closet wall, undo the soldered pipes.. add a pair of shutoff valves and replace the shower valve..solder in a new one..I need to replace the tub spout.. if I can get it off..if not I will have to replace that pipe and spout.
I was thinking.. since I destroyed the valve seat.. maybe I can drill a couple shafts into the seat and put in some stakes..screws..bits.  and try to twist the seat out..
If it works I can reinstall the new seat..and It should be good..just replace the tub spout.. if not.. unsolder the whole mess and replace it..I was gonna upgrade to a moen, but really no point.. if it works it should be good till I replace the whole shower..
..
Next I need to work on Revington.. I am gonna try the smaller bolts..and see if I can get the rear door up and back enough.. if that works.. then remove the door covers and mirror and seat from the parts car.. and reassemble . ..
..
After I get the doors installed..and can close them water tight..I can park it out of the garage..and work on Betty.. stop that oil leak.. 
..
And I have radios.. two on the bench one just came and the base amp
.. and maybe a few more coming..
All good..just have to make time to do them..
..
The rest is the same..
Trying to loose weight..still hovering +/- 5 lbs.. better this week..down 3 up 2 ..down 1.. not rigorous fasting..but it works when I can follow the schedule.still 8 or 9 lbs less than July...
..
Now if I can just figure out my sleep..
I have to stop answering the phone on my mornings off..I need to silence the phone.. at least, when I was sick, I was able to sleep till noon..and awake fresh.. sweat and sleep..and it was just 24 hrs..and I was back ..
Worked a late Sunday for the SuperBowl and felt ok.
..
The rest of the work week was busy..and the last couple days.. with corporate interference..urgent password changes..fear of a network attack.. admins locked out.. 
Supv is out...his wife has been worse.. soon in hospice.. only a little time left..
He will be out for a while.. understandably.. and we have no Manager.... Tons to do..
..
We will do it..
