    Good morning Wrenchmen :hattip:

    Sometimes my excessive planning pays off.

    Long suffering readers :rolleyes: might remember the 2023 saga "Old Man and the Furnace", I installed this manifold for future expansion. The left line is the source from the tank/regulator, next is to the furnace and on the right the range.

    Mrs Green comes home today from visiting her mother, this week I installed a 6000 btu propane heater in the bathroom as a surprise. Easy using the above manifold, the bathroom is on the other side of the wall.

    Ordered from HD, just over $100 with free delivery.

    You should try retiring - every week is a no day work week. :fistbump:

    The down side of that is that tomorrow is never payday. :pout:

    I seem to spend a lot of time being busy.

    The thought is always "if I just get this caught up then I can do what I want..." :rolleyes:

    However, life is good. :)

    I could never really take time off because my work just piled up like a bulldozer.
    If I was off I had the same amount to do just less time to do it.

    Good Saturday morning friends! Hope you all have a wonderful day and amazing weekend :hattip:


    Weather keeps mentioning the “S” word for tomorrow night and Monday, we’ll see.

    Cole and I hustled over to my buddy’s yesterday for a last minute hunt for a doe or two, saw 12 deer but they all had horns or button heads.

    Sadie and I are going this afternoon for the last hunt of the season.
