    Congratulations on your retirement. A long career of helping people brings a satisfaction that few take the time to reflect on. Your head is in the right place. Enjoy yourself!

    Sorry to hear. Do you have a back up plan? Heating water on he stove? Solar shower? Campground facilities? We have a Coleman H2Oasis instant hot water unit that works nicely but realize time is a factor for you.

    right now hoping that i can get into one of the RV dealers i'll be passing in a week. theres a bypass valve so i can still fill up the fresh water tank and leave the water heater empty. i've tried everything i can think of but dontwant to get carried away for fear of making the problem worse. night give it one more go in the morning. i dunno. just frustrated.

    Evening all :hattip:

    Just got back home from the car show and had alot of fun . Alot of people came up to me and told me how awesome my Camaro sounds . I must have started it a dozen times while at the car show . I also got flyers for other car shows that are coming up

    Even the drive home was fun as I was following a nice Pro Street 67 Nova that had a blown sbc . The look from other drivers at stoplights was classic when they heard both cars cackling away


    Here's a few of the cars there tonight

    Good deal! :thumbsup:

    BTW, my 2007 2nd Gen Access Cab had 124K miles on it when I traded it on the POS Ram ... the last few years I owned it I checked the brake pads (front) and shoes (rear) every 6 months for wear, but I never had to replace either. Only vehicle I ever owned that I never did a brake job on, aside from my wife's Highlanders and the POS Ram which only had 28K miles on it when I traded it on my current 3rd Gen.

    Good luck with your Dad's move. I'm sure your Tacoma is up to the task. :)

    Weesa, also check with a plumbing shop while you’re in town. They should be able to run a tap through the threads on the water heater to clean them up. If this is a regular problem you run into you may just want to buy the appropriate tap from a hardware store. Good luck with it.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Good morning all. Happy Saturday - it’s my Friday!

    I was lucky enough to have gasoline in my vehicles for this recent shortage. I’m going to need to refill before next Wednesday. There’s 3 gas stations about a mile from me that have all been out of fuel several times the past few days. When they would get a tanker truck for re-supply, they were limiting each customer to 10 gallons.

    Anyone else have issues with the pipeline shutdown?
