Morning all

My Brother will be here later this evening

 

Do you have Natural Gas available to you? Or , can you get propane gas? If the answer to either is yes --have you thought of getting a Tankless Water heater? If you only have electric -- forget the tankless. I have been using a tankless for about 25 years. I had a Takagi for 18 years -- till I replaced it with a more efficient model (condensing type that uses PVC for venting). The Takagi was still working when we removed it - I even sold it for 100 bucks. If you have access to gas of either type -you will thank yourself down the road.

 

I have propane and have looked into tankless.my bud at work builds houses on the side and talked about it. he has put up quite a few houses with it. little tight right now. were redoing the house preparing for when we retire. new roof,new ac/heatpump with backup propane. inside is all new flooring,paint and carpet.tearing the 25yr old deck out next and replace. thanks for the input

 

This is top secret brother but before I die, I'm getting a Tonka Truck, Front End Loader or Track Hoe and going to play in the dirt for several days. Maybe build a bridge from sticks and rock. You in?

What'sa matter weesa?

 

Battery in the work van has been failing.
This morning it took 3 tries to finally turn over.

So I call the fleet service and they tell me to go to pep boys. He was upset that I called and should have known.

So I go to pep boys. They said it would take 2 hours to get approval and an hour to put it in.

2 hours later they said it was denied because it would cost too much.

Same story at the Firestone place.

So I go to the dealership and they said it is under warranty, but they need to monitor the obdII for 12 hours to get a warranty number.

I walked a mile to get the rental for overnight and I may still get denied a new battery.

I am still running on a low front tire from the last denial of service.

I'm home early because I can't work without parts.

Oh well

 

I was able to do quite a bit of nothing on my snow day. Puttered in the basement after the wood stove warmed it a bit. Talked on the ham radio for a while with a few from Lithuania, Italy, and Namibia. Then I did a clean up before dark. Snow is still coming down so I’ll have to hit the driveway again tomorrow morning before work.

 

You got up

 

They are bakin the cah in the garage too!!
