RS, hope you don't have too much difficulty getting the valves replaced.... I don't envy your project at all.... just because it involves plumbing... I hate plumbing!

Hopefully won't have to actually replace any of them, just rebuild.

Sure would be nice to have some new 1/4 turn ball valves in there though ... but that could get kinda pricey, considering that it would probably require copper unions as well.

The thing I hate the most about this, is just the working in confined spaces.

There a big electrical cable that runs within a couple of inches of that one valve and it's live. No real way to move it much.

Pretty sure don't want to be melting the insulation off that ... :laughing:

Good luck on the finishing ... :thumbsup:

Good morning, the temp is a chilly -5°F and going to 10 above. Wind E 11 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

I have nothing planned for today.

Eric;The senior judge, Pru leith, is 80 and has just been shown smiling while she stood in line waiting to receive her jab and then afterwards saying it was painless.
I am more concerned with the side affects. Remember Thalidomide.


Have a safe day all

I remember, as I imagine those age appropriate do.
Your post prompted me to explore.
For perspective Thalidomide scandal - Wikipedia
Challenging to learn that Covid19 kills more people in a week than the total scandal and we are still learning of possible long term covid effects.

27 outside this AM. Heading to upper 30's. Nothing on the weather .....yet.

Ran around town yesterday. Not much planned today, except feed the fireplace.

I recall in my youth, walking down to the local pharmacy and buying all sorts of chemicals. I also recall a friend of mine blowing a hole in his parents house roof, that shook the neighborhood. I bet we all had one of those friends. Heck, some of us probably were "that guy".

Hope all have a great day. Be safe, especially with the weather conditions, and stay healthy my friends.

I’m probably the only guy on here to pack match heads in a chuck of pipe then light it off as a ground surface rocket. Pre Sputnik days, didn’t know I wassupposed to point it up.

well since the vaccine is using gene therapy of some kind, if it malfunctions and we slowly start turning into a vampire
or a six headed slimy lizard from a far galaxy, I guess anything is possible. ;)
Medical folks have been battling flu and infectious diseases a long time. They are apparently using the latest and best technology here
to force our body to kill off the virus. And if there are side effects of that process, Bill has every reason to be skeptical. Pretty sure the stats
here are very, very good. But there is that old saying that Time Will Tell.

My hand is sure raised up.
I want to get back to dinner parties and hugs and cruises to the islands. :thumbsup:

Good points, Drew.
Maybe need some mathematical/ statistical help.
What are the chances to get Covid if not vaccinated?
What are chances to get Covid if vaccinated?
What are chances of Covid related reactions.
What are chances of vaccine related reactions.
If you have a vaccine reaction how does that compare to getting a Covid reaction.

I’m sure any vaccine related reactions will be published to the nines, but they need to be put in perspective. If that perspective is negative we need to know also.

Wnsprd great to hear Coco is improving. No experience with canine CBD oil but sure helped Sophie and worth the cost.

A fellow I know gives his epileptic dog CBD oil and it seems to help. Only a few drops out of an eye dropper at meal times.
I use the human version directly on my buggered up knee and shoulder whenever the need arises. There is zero THC in the oil I use.

cbd oil really helped my sore hand/thumb joints

and as the snow comes down, the cranberry, raisin and pineapple scones
came out of the oven. Need to give them away pretty quick or I'll eat them.
Another homemade fruit pie now in oven, hopefully second time will be better.

Got tractor out a few minutes, mostly to turn it around to come out frontwards when this is over. IMG_7971.JPG

Gentlemen, rev up your engines, engage those snow blowers, drop those plows!

Roy, don't overdo it. At least you'll be staying warm.
snowing pretty hard out now, view out my window is into the woods, watching the snow accumulate
on the branches and frosting the trees in white.

Oooooh! I can't imagine it... :)

On the other hand, with all the rain we have been having I managed to knock out 2 very large tree stumps at last due to the ground being softer.
Much tidier.
