Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Why I avoid any limited access roads even if it is 20 miles more.

 

I almost always go through the self checkout because if there are lines open, they're backed up. I can usually get through faster than the person whos job it is to scan items. I also back my stuff to not bruise/crush fruit.

 

Mornin’ Folks.

 

Good Thursday morning friends, have a great day and get ready to rock the new year in tomorrow night. 2022, who woulda thunk it?

 

Morning all

 

Didn't think I was gonna make it there for awhile

 

Still got all my time outs & the two minute warnin’ to play with.
Still feels good gettin close to the end zone.

Mornin

 

Looks alright for a metal worker

 

Cat loves the new screen door at the store. Wonder how long it’ll take him to shred the new screen? I priced a piece of polycarbonate to put on it but it was $95, new screen was less than $11, it was a no brainer

 

Is there rerod pins in that?

Here in Michigan, 2 seasons and it will be cracking free with no pins to keep it locked in place.

 

Yours is a lot cleaner than mine, the one at work isn’t any better

 

No, hopefully it’ll hold

 

My gas fireplace is pissing me off!

I've cleaned the pilot assembly, polished the thermo pile and thermo coupler.

I light the pilot, turn on the main burner and the burner and pilot light goes out completely 10 minutes later.

3 year old Nepoleon gas fireplace with its own air supply and vent.

Anyone out there got experience with these things?

 

If I had to guess I’d say a bad thermocouple or whatever it is attached to on the other end malfunctioning.

 

Air supply blocked ?

 

This was my next attempt. I was gonna run it without the sealed glass front to see if it made a difference. I figured if it still shut off after 10 minutes, it wasn't an air issue. Does this track?

 

Second the thermocouple, had a water heater pilot light kept going out, tried couple youtube "fixes". Finally just got the burner assembly with new parts and worked fine

 

Can't f**king stand them, WILL NOT use them. There's no way to pay, and until the store offers me a discount for doing their employees' work, it ain't happenin'!

 

Shopping is a game of skill, NOT endurance. The goal is to get in, get your shit, and get out as quickly as possible, and interacting with as few people as possible. Any time I'm going in to a store for more than one thing, I have a list, the list is written out in order from entrance to check-out. I don't look at stuff I'm not buying, and I almost NEVER make "impulse" purchases. Of course a lot of this is made easier by shopping at my small local "Mom & Pop" stores. I avoid big-box places like the plague.

 

brother!
I had to go to "The Mart" Tuesday - zoomed through the store, picked the prettiest cashier and got the heck out.
