not that far off. working on a project in borrowed space in a former engine manufacturing facility that is being repurposed as a parts distribution facility. very cleveland like in that it's old, gloomy, and dirty. Which is also VERY annoying considering our group's real shop is a Taj Mahal of wrenching facilities.Quote:

Yet another nail in the Boomer coffin.
Replaced most of the plumbing in my house over the weekend; ripping out an abomination of a mixed bag of straight copper, flexible copper, CPVC, iron pipe, and pex; no real rhyme or reason to any of it. My girlfriend didn’t really want me to do it then because she had her second COVID shot on Monday and didn’t want to fuck around with plumbing issues. I assured her it’s fine…. Fine…. Don’t worry….
Had a leak spring up 12 hours later around one of the soldered joints, I was stuck at work and my girlfriend was working from home, so I had her turn off the water to the house until I could fix it. Went home early, had to cut the copper adjacent to the leak so I could drain the water from that section and get it hot enough to work on. Fixed it, though, nice and clean….
Yesterday she calls that there is no water in the entire house. Wtf? Some kind of airlock? Had her do some troubleshooting, nothing made sense….. turns out the city was working on an expansion and broke a water main.
Been an annoying plumbing experience, and it started out as such a victory….
All plumbing is an annoying experience.
ahhhhhhhhhhhh.... yes that cotton is horrible. Fills my barns, water troughs, covers the grass, sticks to screens, it's everywhere BUT the trees sure are pretty when they are leafed out.Quote:

Always, always include some butter or oil in your rice!

If your burners are all to high, pull the knob off and turn the flame down with a thin flat blade screwdriver.
FFS rice isn't that hard to cook. Use a timer.
I think 90% of the world population has it figured out without a timer. JFC, rice. Rice. WTF?Quote:
