    +1. nothing to worry about.

    and i bet she's not as OCD as my ex. she used to take my screwdrivers to remove the faucet handles from the kitchen and bathrooms to clean the valve stems. and once, i came home and found the stack washer/dryer in pieces on the floor. she wanted to clean behind it and couldn't move it, so she dug out some tools and tried to disassemble it, hoping she could make enough room behind it to clean. O-rings are no big deal.

    Don't get me wrong, I like having a clean wife, I can't stand a filthy disorganized household.
    And yes I do love my wife. I'm queing 3 racks of ribs right now and made macaroni salad, will pick her up after work and take out to her bosses house for dinner tonight. Boss is a parapaligic and it is to hard for her to get around in our house so we go there. It's nice to have a boss she can get along that well with.
    We men have to make it sound like we are in total control now and then.

    I'm still fairly new so I might be missing something. You're referring to replacing it at the 1K mark right? Because unless I'm losing it (or just not understanding), Crane o-rings come stock on BCM and LMT BCG.

    There's your problem! Maybe she wanted you to do it.

    LOL - my wife is a box of dynamite. It took me some time to learn for sure, but after nearly 11-years, I'm getting the hang of it....

    She hates it when I do laundry - dishes too. She has a "way" she likes it done and even if I were to replicate it - she would still find something wrong with it. We're kind of traditional that way - she does the inside stuff - I do the outside stuff. With the exception of the cooking, (she's not a whiz in the kitchen). Besides, I'm working 3 jobs to get her through the final 2 semesters of nursing school, so I'm thankful she does it. I give her all the credit - getting her Masters at 46 - my brain shut down long ago...

    For those with a need for O-rings, you can order a known-good here:

    http://www.marcorubber.com/orings.htm

    Order p/n V1000-006, Viton o-ring (75D), $5.20/50. Order five bags and they're $2.00 or $2.50 a bag, something like that. For what they charge for shipping, you may as well order a bunch and pass them around.

    I'll bet that if you contacted the company that you got them from and told them what happened they'd send you a bag of them. Sometimes when the wife does something like that you just got to hug and kiss her and tell her "thank you". All with a on your face.
