Hey now! When you get back, let's have a beer or three.
Dad had a heart attack in Florida. Wasn't doing well so I came out. Since I got here he has done a 180 and is doing much better.
Today I met phishfood at a gun shop/ museum and checked out a bunch of stuff I'm not allowed to buy in California. Then we went and had a few beers down the road. Good day and nice to meet you phish.
Who's next on the list? Maybe Havasu since he lives down the street from me yet avoids me.
i am building a forge,to make knives, scored 2 barrels yesterday, meet a guy at a truck repair shop, who is over a huge truck grave yard
lots of steel...a playground for me..
ordered the fittings for the forge,
also came across an 18 wheeler brake drum and a pick up brake drum for the forge and fire pit
If you don't turn off power to your electric water heater elements when you drain and refill the tank, you will risk damaging them. Shut off power, drain tank, refill tank, then turn on the circuit breakers. Keep in mind that most new tanks have a cruddy drain spigot and once opened, it may start dripping continuously. Hopefully, the drain spigot is metal and not that darn crummy plastic.
Oh, I definitely intend to turn off the power (at the breaker) to the water heater, but someone was saying that leaving the water running into the tank might help it flush better, but another person said that more water coming in would stir up more sediment and interfere with the process.
So, with the electric, I should definitely turn the water off if I can find a shutoff for it? My air conditioning guy commented that the water heater wasn't installed correctly, but he didn't elaborate what was wrong with it. It has the crummy plastic.
At least I got the phone jack installed and it seems to be working ok. The phone I'm using is pretty crummy and there is a ton of static. It's an old phone. But the new phone has been ordered.
I had to put a face plate over the outlet where I put the surge suppressor for the RJ11 line and conveniently a cover plate just turned up on the floor in the kitchen that morning-- still in its packaging. Normally stuff just disappears on me instead. LOL.
