    Why did you grind a perfectly good drill bit to a 90° point o_O

    Conversely, I've had all 3 of my shots, have gone to Georgia, Florida, Hawaii and Vegas and haven't had it. At least as far as I'm aware. Been tested plenty, too. Got tested last Monday and volunteered to have an antibody test done just to see if I had it in the past.

    My wife was about the sickest I've ever seen her in December of '19. The antibody tests came out too late for any remnants to still be in her system so it came back negative so we're not sure if she had it then or not.

    Come to think about it, I was pretty damn sick around that time...

    Me and a co-worker got some nasty funk after Christmas '21 I believe. Just so happens three other co-workers tested positive the same time. We're not sure what the Hell happened, but it was only one night of chills and fever and it broke, so I didn't think nothing of it...

    There was a patient at the hospital that tested positive while they were in the recovery room and despite my wife being all PPE'd up, they sent her home for 10 days. She never did get sick from that one. :laugh:

    I do as well but not a the expense of driving I miss eating in my favorite Diners

    Route 6 and 187 I miss my favorite waitresses It was great having the company truck much exploring was done .

    Some people hated the stretch of Route 6 from Tunkhannock to Towanda I liked that drive.

    Sounds like the whole thing alright....ouch.
    Yeah, I've had difficulty finding parts for our furnace and there was one other place open but they only dealt with companies/contractor license

    This practice is quite common the supply house counter person has no clue just what your friend may have quoted you for price.

    The Counter person does not want to piss off a Good Customer. I have seen this from both sides.

    What is even worse is when costs are added after the end user has given you the P.O. Number.

    Just why do you need a variable speed Motor for that application?

    Does your thermostat have multiple fan speeds like a vehicle fan motor ? That you can change the speeds ?

    I think the variable speed fan motor was one of my two options that I was quoted when I replaced everything. I went for the lesser expensive unit didn't have that. I forget exact details but the fan circulates air at a slower speed something something. After compressor kicks off...all the time though:confused:

    Wow it must have been late Seventies early eighties I was out at Nucor Steel in Norfolk .

    The Good days of hauling Swinging Beef Dead Mans Curve on I 80 where the rookie drivers rolled the truck when the load shifted going into the turn to fast.

    That section looks to be changed around since those days.

    Christmas week of '21, all 4 of us had it. First Christmas in our new home and a guy at work that passed it to me ruint it for the 4 of us. We had a week of fever, chills, nausea, body aches and lethargy. I still don't have my sense of smell from it.

    Ok That sort of makes sense I go with the low cost option myself.

    The fan runs at low speed all the time to keep the air moving I remember that option now thinking about things.
