The Semi-Consolidated Leakage Thread again!!!

[Wat_Tyler]

Well, I was a-waitin' to see my bronchitis from last Spring go away on egg drop soup alone . . . .


It woulda kilt me if'n I hadn't gone and gotten some drugs for it.


Off to see some more, albeit fewer, weasels . . . .

I think I'm getting a little better.



I'll know a little later tonight when its time to go to work...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Allah is merciful and has allowed Friday to roll around again, without a weekend load of shit to do for work.


Of course, he's not merciful enough to have done all my household chores so's I can have the weekend off, or allowed it to become warm enough so the heat will run less. Damn camel-fucking god of deserts.


I got a chance to hear a CD of a talk I gave three months ago, and I was funny as all fuck. Some of the crowd even agreed.


The world is full of slow learners . . . and lots of them post at Lit.

Happy Saturday!!!


The weather is keeping it simple here - simply cold - until later, when it warms up. We can haz freezing rain this morning - lucky us.


I'm not going to get more roof done today, it seams.


It is what it is, and I ain't in charge . . . .

If they would just come in July during our slow season...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah, and it'd be warm enough that it'd suck so much less.


And let some of that damned August heat show up in January when it's so fucking cold.


I came home from my morning outing to a frantic housemate and water all over the kitchen floor. It seems that the relief valve on the water heater had begun to fail and was starting to leak. After examining the situation for a few minutes, and calling a plumber buddy, I shut off the water, turned off the gas to it, and removed the valve. Going to Lowe's, I actually found the correct valve all by myself. I got it replaced and it all checked out, and then I decided to drain a bit of sediment from the tank to make it more efficient. At which point, the tank drain valve took a giant shit right in my hand. With the water turned back on, of course. So I flooded the kitchen floor again while I ran out to turn off the water, again. It took forever to get the tank drained, half a bucket at a time. So I took the shitty plastic drain valve with me to Lowe's and found . . . fuck-all. After pondering for a bit, I found a female end hose bibb and a pipe-thread piece of 7.75 x 2" nipple. A bit a teflon tape and a few turns, and it's all back together.


Of course, when the tank shits next year, I hope that I remember to salvage all the new-ish parts from it before it goes.

I would consider an instant on hot water system when the tank tanks. Why heat and store the water 24/7 when it is only used now and then?

 

[Bidin~Time]

My bosses need to start figuring out pretty damned quick why they keep losing their quality people to other departments and facilities. A few with management backgrounds have tried, but apparently it's like talking to a fence post.


also, finding affordable Christmas presents with a wow factor for the menfolk in my family is proving to be a test of my creativity.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I like the idea of the insta-hot heating systems for water. Thing is, I'm not sure I'm down with a grand to replace a $200-something tank. Plus I have to replumb it, and I'll be hatin' that.


I noticed what a bunch of geriatrics we are at the Xmas dinner at work. Funny thing is, the VP is maybe 40 at the top end. The PM is 67, and he hired all us old fucks.


The joke is on them - I'll outlive them all. Fuck, someone has to . . . .


Maybe we need a Xmas tits thread . . . .

Happy hollidays to you guys and your families!

Other than sparkly decorations, Christmass is too comercialized and no longer holds much appeal for me. And God, I no longer enjoy going to mass on Christmass or Easter either, because here it's just like going to a club.
But I surely enjoy New Year's Eve's festivities.

 

[hashtag4]

I'm starting to get fed up with this forum.
Political posters are starting to lose interest and are posting less and less.
And as for mine - they're more likely to atract cretinoid posts by my stalker and Rob, than anything else.

If it weren't for you guys, Ann, Lance, the BB franchise and a couple more, I think I would've stopped posting a long time ago.
Plus real life is starting to catch up with me.

I'll try to take a short sabatical, although I'm not convinced that I'll have enough self- discipline to sustain it.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Holidays/ Merry Xmas to you, too, Hashie-darlin'.


I think we all take a break from here from time to time. I know that I did. My participation is largely on my own terms any more. Mine, and some tits.


And an Injun.


And whomever else decides to wander in. Most are welcome. A couple would improve the world by leaving it.

I might be using your thread once more as a blurt, thanks for your patience Watt.

Fuck the sabatical!
Those few posters as in the content of their posts have become too important for me. (both as entertainment and as eye-openers, so to speak).
On the other hand, many aspects of the forum are very distracting and act as huge time wasters for me, since I often get caught up and wrapped up in them, even if I have very limitted interest in them.

So it just occured to me: why not copy LJ's attitude and use this forum as my own blog (as bronzeage once described him, tongue in cheek)? While putting p everybody on iggy but for those 12 or so posters who truly interest me?

Ironic attitude, I know since so many posters find Me to be tedious and intrusive and have me on iggy.
But I think it's a brilliant idea and I'll give it a try.
Thanks for your patience, guys. I'm done now with my whining.

I just Loved Christmass at home.
Don't get me wrong - they surclass other countries including mine in so many aspects, and I'm greatful to be here. But when it comes to Christmass - tedious as hell.

First of all - minimal decorations or lights in town. (their excuse is that it's because of the heat.) Plus other than people rushing around to buy gifts or stock up and the anticipation of another public holliday, one doesn't pick up that specific excitement or even exhillaration at a mass level.

Going to Mass here - boring, just like on Easter. People are so restrained and polite and afraid to bother their neighbours. They never let loose and express what they really feel. I gave up after two years - I felt like going to a club or an army drone attending one of those routine army exercises.

And who tf heard about spending Christmass at the beach or barbecueing with your friends and neighbours?. I hated those intrussive and nagging family gatherings on Christmass, but I sometimes wonder what's worse: boring or stressful?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Sunday!!!


I think that stressful is much worse. It wears on a person like carrying rocks out of a quarry by hand. It makes a pack animal out of us, and it wears us down. It is a millstone. Boredom, on the other hand, I can control. If I find myself bored, I can get off my ass and go do something else. I can click on that red X up at the top right of this screen. i can go for a walk, go out to dinner, call someone to meet me, find a book and open it . . . the list is almost endless. But I have control over it. Stress, not always.


It's 40* F warmer than it was three days ago. And a tad rainy-n-humid, too. I was going to go back out on the roof and play some ore today, but that won't be happening. So I guess it's household chores then.


Maybe I'll cook something . . . .

By Buddha's big bouncy brass balls! Bang a gong and light some josh sticks but the ice passed to the north of us! We got some ice pellets and it's currently 18, but it's dry and that's about all you can ask for in December.

Water heaters can be a pain in the ask me why and I'll you, that they're just a pain...

The good luck for me is that it is in the basement right next to a drain and the concrete floor is sloped properly.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'm limping this heater along until Allah sees fit to call it home to him. At that time, I'll do a proper install.


But, as I told the hosuemate yesterday, if it had been installed properly, that valve could have been leaking for weeks and wasting hot water and draining it outside and we might not even have known.


And that part of the kitchen floor is as clean as it's been for awhile.


Do we want a Xmas tits thread???
