What did you accomplish today?

Mine is an "explosion proof" natural gas one, which means the small openings to get air into it get clogged up and put the pilot light out. I just blow it out with the compressor and it stays lit for a few months.

Must be what this one is too. I could have probably just blew it out with the air compressor, but it only takes 2 minutes to pull the burner. The pilot light was still lit, but just barely. So it would probably kick on for a minute or 2, then choke out, making luke warm water. As soon as I cleaned it, the pilot light got normal sized and it started working right again. Thank you YouTube! My plumber friend told me to call the utility company as he thought it was a bad gas meter, lol. Nope.

I use to have a good friend that was a master plumber, and he did all my work for $25 an hour cash, and I would always be his laborer on my jobs to learn, and save. Over the course of 30 years and a few dozen houses I learned a lot....pretty much do it all myself, but as I said, stick a spork in me, I've about had it.

Tonight I was dealing with a whiner about his parking space. I told him "enough, I am annoyed!" and I was!!

Tell him you may have to dig up his parking spot for a few months and show him where "alternate parking" is going to be.
Play that like an Ace dealt from the bottom when you get that crap again. He just doesn't get the lord part of landlord.

I can't imagine living in a western country like that now.
You can leave your shopping hanging off your m/c handlebars, and your helmet on the mirror all day, and it'll still be there when you go back.

I live in Mayberry (or Stepford) with Opie and Gomer.
Someone broke down on the highway and stole a car a few years ago, but mostly neighborhood chickens in the road for 911 calls.
Jogger found my wallet and put it at the door.
Lost something out of my truck and it was at my house when I got home, no idea who.
A car crashed in the neighborhood, the kids tried to run.
The Stepford moms rounded them all up and gotten confessions and called their parents before the cops got there.

So far?
Cleaned the kitchen, made coffee from fresh ground dark roast and sat on the deck with a fire, smoked a roach and watched the sunrise while listening to a cannabis podcast.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Plumbing repair #3 of the week for me.....Deaths and plumbing problems always seem to come in 3's. But I at least learned something new, and it was an easy fix.

The call...hot water not hot enough. It wasn't a case of just needing to be turned up, like I hoped, and it was making luke warm water, turned up on high. It's a 3-4 year old Bradford White gas heater, which is a decent brand....Well these particular water heaters have a filter in the bottom, and when it gets plugged, the system can't get enough air and won't burn properly. I had never seen this before. Did I mention it's a dirt floor basement?? lol, I popped the burner out, vacuumed the filtered bottom out good, put it back together, and works perfect (knock on wood), or it seems to anyways!!

Stick a fork in me, I am done!

I have a Bradford White gas heater too. I really like it.

I was so glad it was an easy fix, and kind of shocked how easy.

It was supposed to rain all weekend, but I managed to get my lawn cut last night just before dusk, and now the sun is shining...Nothing on my plate for the day, so just vaped some GG and about to get into something...Think today is the day to flip my girls to flower mode, and give em a squirt of Regalia & Venerate...I so love that stuff.

Regalia has been amazing! I keep thinking I need to try Venerate and their other one whose name escapes me at the moment. Enjoy the day you really earned it.

Pulled out the raised floor in the grow room and super-cropped the girls, only had one ah shit while doing it.

Broke one of the tops all the way off instead of bending it over, guess I didn't mash it enough before trying to bend it. These plants are a little, more fibrous(?) than the last ones I did.

Mash then twist as you bend down, that helps reduce breaks.
After starting to use silica, had to change technique.

I remember the switchover, many of us contributed our last dollar bill for safety.
The club had all types of bake sales, fundraisers, donation jar, management matched it and all the girls got new ones.

Seriously one of the jobs I hated the most was removing ruptured breast implants. We actually sterilized spoons to scoop it out, nasty affair.
