Good Afternoon David,
We toured Ireland in 2007 I believe, and we had a great time ! We really only toured the south west corner never going farther north that Galway. Galway is a beautiful town/ fishing village. Very picturesque with really good beer
! 
We went in May and it was still cool so a lot of the pubs were running their peat stoves, which has a very characteristic smell while your walking through town ! We made every effort to hit those pubs, especially the ones that served fish stew, which I love !
In short a lot of fun memories, so I’m
Sure you will have a great time !!

My buddy that is in hospital with the busted pelvis just got back from Ireland in March. He was born there. His parents dragged him kicking and screaming over to Canuckistan when he was 5.

the lady whose house I'm checking on is doing almost exactly the trip David has shown, Scotland then Ireland.
She seemed to be having a lot of fun.
got my house cleaning done, what a bore. But overdue, no one to yell at me. Or help...
got everything cleaned off teak dining room table and put a coat of teak oil on it.
I've had that table at least 30 years, folding teak table I always found a use for.
has some bumps in it caused by water from plants leaking.
I really need to take a belt sander to the whole thing and make it like new again.
So I set the table and finished cleaning the living room. And decided what to cook on Sat so
that's enough accomplished for today.
internet was having problems earlier, various sites running slow, maybe just FIOS.

I picked it up, it started right up, I drove it on my trailer and left. Got home, wouldn't start. I pulled it off the trailer. should have taken it back then.
This is a friend of mine, who worked at the time in a hardware store rebuilding and servicing small engines. Factory certified guy. He since started his own business, then has gone on and worked in a Massey Dealership for awhile. Still see him occasionally and I'm sure if I asked again he would look at it.
I actually am at fault for never getting it back to him, he would have fixed it. Matter of fact he said if I didn't want to bring the whole mower, pull the engine and he can work on it using a test stand, which is why I pulled the engine. I'm 100% at fault for being too lazy to get it to him.

Mine too, from Portadown IrelandDavid, when you get to Belfast say hello to my relatives.
I've visited England a good bit for work years ago, and did a few days vacation in scotland with my wife. Was a very nice trip. We want to go back, and hit Ireland which we have not been to.

75 deg and started light rain again. Only .62" , most of the day was no to light rain, now raining pretty good all of a sudden.
went to town and picked up lunch at chipotle. Then called Lowes to see if my order was in. Had hard time understanding the foreign accent, but she said yes, come get it. I said I'm parked out front. So they wheeled it out to me at the pickup spot.
Got it into basement.
Was curious, as it looked to be the same hookup as the old Kenmore (built by whirlpool back in the day), so went and bailed out more salt water from the old one, got the quick connect apart, and the new one hooked right up to the old bypass valve. So it is now installed, and the old one is sitting behind the house in the rain. Doing a regen right now to check it out. If if it hadn't connected right up, I was going to change the incoming lines over to Pex A (good excuse to buy the tool....)

Most modern machines are easily selectable between them as well.

Good Evening Dennis,
I’m guessing it’s something small, but it would be nice to revive the WH !
Just curious what model you have !
Thanks for the explanation!

212H and listed in my signature, not one of the older ones that were more like mini tractors. This one came out about a year or 2 before toro bought them out.
