So, this is the first time in a week I have had the opportunity to catch my breath. OK, breathing is good. Now what? Well, there was that thing in the kitchen I need to fix….
See this….
I tried the steak knife down the side annnddd broke the tip off the knife. I tried hot and cold – I tried one hot and the other cold – nothing budged. I tried pouring vegetable oil down the insides. Still nuthin’… So, I decided today it was time to break out the big guns.
As a last resort – I dug up the old faithful hammer and thingie you pound with the hammer.
See this….
Yup I did it. Somehow, last week while I was washing dishes. Looks like fun don’t it? Ya not so much. So, to preserve this….. I have to get the little one out of the big one without breaking the big one. It is very important you know.
Mr. Grumpy’s favorite coffee cup. Very Important!

OK, so it’s just a power tool – but it is powered. Well, it’s powered when you remember to charge it…. I wasn’t the last one to use it so I cannot be held responsible. And it didn’t work.
Then came the BIG ONE!! And a much larger bit. And still nuthin’… Hmmfph
As a last resort – I dug up the old faithful hammer and thingie you pound with the hammer.
Nope don’t what it’s called and don’t care. Please don’t tell me cuz I won’t remember. Then you will think you’re having an aneurysm or something. Cuz I will have no idea what you are talking about and your head will try to explode. Or Something like that.
TA –DA!!!! SUCCESS! Check it out. A plain old hammer and poundie thingie broke through the super thick twenty year old little bowl. It’s at least twenty years old anyway. I can’t remember not having it. There was one terrifying moment when a loud “CRACK” resounded through the mud room, laundry room, fix-it room when it is too hot to be in the garage room. I panicked and stopped pounding for a minute. After thorough inspection I decided the cracking sound was the little cup. And prayed I was correct. I did not want to tell Mr. Grumpy I took a hammer to his favorite cup.
Dug the pieces out of the cup; washed it and it is ready for use. I hope I didn’t cause any real damage to the cup.
And the blood letting was minor.
All in all a successful day.
