I bought a 26 oz Rambler from Yeti online 4 months ago. Last week I noticed water was leaking (where the gasket is located) . I filed a claim last week. Today I received the straw cap replacement for free. Thank you Yeti!

Took me 8 hours to put this side table together. I thought it was. When I was about to put the drawers, the slide bars were not level 🤣
I had to dismantle and re-do it. Happy me... Not! tried the drawers and it was overlapping grrrr... again unscrewed the top and flip the other way around. Hallelujah 🙏 it finally fit 🤣

Convo with my husband earlier.

Hubby : where do you like to go for lunch?

Me : don't ask me, you're not gonna like it if I will tell you what I like.

Hubby: say it anyway.

Me : I would like to have some Phó (Vietnamese)

Hubby : let's compromise, how about Shabuya (Japanese)

Me : ok

Few minutes later ....

ME : Think of something else, it's hard to find a parking spot this time of the day if we want shabuya.

We ended at the Brazilian steak house. 🤣

Window shopping and bargain hunting. It's free to add in your wishlist 🤣 unlimited browsing. The sale associate was nice. I told her from the beginning that I am not buying, just browsing.
