I was half way expecting to see a inflatable girlfriend when I first saw the post

Self removal from the game

Been using dewalt cordless tools since they came out probably close to 30 years ago. The new breed of tools Batteries suck. The lifespan is nowhere near what the old 18v systems were.

Ok what one of you made this gaming chair since your to lazy to take a bathroom break I believe this is taking it to far Also do you have plans available ?

Extremely sad to hear. Great guy to play with and talk with. We seem to be losing some of the best amongst us.

I am seeing the quality of some items going down in the produce sections. I also stocked up on flour and vacuum packed it. I live in CA but months ago there was worry about the wheat crops in the Ukraine affecting the world supply. My wife’s cousin in Greece s saw a bit of a shortage of flour in the stores there so I figured it doesn’t hurt to store some as long as they are sealed tight

I would open them up and see if it helps. In my house I have some tight rooms, if there doors are closed it throws off the air balance in my house big time. It makes the heating or cooling un even

I didn’t catch the one post where you said you plugged the tee and your son heard the air coming out down below. If it’s clear and blowing through like that extend that tee pipe up and increase it’s diameter so the water can separate out Also it almost sounds like the plenum is at a higher pressure than a typical system. Make sure all the vents in the House are open and not restricting the air flow and creating to much back pressure in the system.

In some of my problem facilities we would cut the line and put a union in that could be opened any time needed.

It sounds like the line is plugged up down stream. That’s just the air from the plenum escaping through that pipe.

Chance are the lateral run as it exits the house has a dip in the pipe allowing the water to build up. Over time it also collects a bit of dirt eventually plugging it up. One of the last things to check s to see if you have a air tight house that is creating a vacuum in that area and just flat out sucking the water back up through the pipe. Can always shut the system off and pour hot water into that tee and see if it makes it all the way out of the pipe to the outside

You don’t want to cap that It’s the breather for the drain. More than likely you have a build up of slime mold or some other crap in the drain line from the constant water that pass’s through it keeping it moist for growth. Take a wet dry vacuum and go to where it exits the house and use the vacuum to suck it clean. After that there are some treatments just for that issue. Also another way is to use compressed air with a short burst blowing back up into the line from where it exits the house. Don’t do that to hard though all the built up water in the line will blow back into the pan and attic. This is a very common problem

Great to see you back. Can’t wait to see you back in game in COD2

That’s one on our list to visit. We try and go over every two years to our house in Thessaloniki and then hit a few islands when there. Such a great place to ask someone to spend the rest of there life with you. Only thing I find wrong with Greece is the severe weight gain from all the great foods there

Congratulation's. Where in Greece did you go to ?

Extremely sorry to hear this. Great guy and loved playing with him for years. Another great one that will be missed

Been smoking meats for a few years now. Yours looks great. When I do my Tri Tips I give them the final sear in a cast iron pan with butter and rosemary. Works great. Also I generally smoke 3 to 4 at a time. The first night is the sliced Tri tip and then I take the others and dice them up and a little extra seasoning and onions and make soft tacos with it. The family loves those tacos and the smoked flavor comes through perfect

Was hoping to make it, but looks like possible knee surgery will stop me from making it. But I am planning on making it to one of these sometime, they always look like a great time

Have to ask. What does that clutch pack go to ?

I started this system 10 years ago or around that. At that time it would be a stand alone system that used the internet just to keep updates and allow access from anywhere. But if the internet went down I still had control through my own house system to control it. That’s all gone now.

I loved having it all available at the touch of my phone. Had it set up far enough to where I could sit in my backyard either on the deck ore by the fire pit and control all my lighting out there along with my stereo system that I have wired to two sets of speakers. Inside it’s always nice to be able to turn lights off in other rooms when the wife or kids forget to with out having to get up. I was working on tying the system into my house alarm system so that if the alarm went off all the lights would come on. I figured that would be good for either a fire alarm or if it’s set off from burglary, but that’s in a holding pattern now till I figure out what way to go with it

Years ago I started adding home automation to my house, for lighting I wen with the Insteon lighting control system. It worked perfect for years, we could travel and I could program my house for random lighting that made it appear that we were home by never having a sequence that didn’t look programmed. I had scenes programmed for entertaining that set all the interior and exterior lighting up that gave a nice ambiance. Well Thursday my hub controller went off line but still showed active but still leaving me with no control over my lights. I spent time during the weekend going through every aspect of what the problem could be with no resolve of the issue. last night it finally came out. Insteon has disappeared from the market and shut down all there servers and controls leaving all of us that used there equipment high and dry and no way to use our investment in equipment. It wasn’t cheap even though I did the whole install my self. It’s a eye opener when you really think of it. We add companies web based and cloud based systems to our lives with no guarantee that they will be around tomorrow. I hate how everything has gone to company owned and controlled systems that we have to depend on them operating all the time to use what we have already purchased and installed. This also goes for a lot of the apps and programs we use that we use to be able to buy but now have to have a subscription to use. Not real sure we are heading in a good direction with our technology.

I have seen this before. Seems all to familiar in the world we live in today. sad and scary

No Thanks
