    Mornin' y'all

    This week has been a real Hell week at work. I need to retire.
    You do?

    You come visit!

    Brang lots of ammo.

    I can put yinz up.....even send yinz home w/bullets (am a commercial caster)....

    You brang primers? We can even send yinz home w/loaded ammo!

    Fixed the blame smoker yesterday! Spare Parts ate the cord off it. ...

    Smoked us up some chicken quarters, last night! Oh yum!

    Later, Mark

    LOL I am, but not because of the heat. Our A/C runs 24/7 and so far our highest bill has been under $250. :)

    My meltdown is from a late night text from the bank's fraud team..."Did you attempt a purchase of $****** at X******? Type YES to approve or NO to stop."

    Oh hells no. :asniper:

    Called their overnight number, advised them card compromised, requested permanent block. So today, road trip to Woodville branch for new card (maybe). Might be time to switch to cash only. :shades:
    Glad yinz caught it...

    Have mine set to (whatever the nice Lady told me) "Alert Limits"...out of town/unusual/amount number....

    Have two drug addict family members (female) that periodically try to do the ID "theft" thing with the rest of us....

    We can not prove it...but? When ever they are in re hab or jail? There are no "attempts"....?? Happy coincidence?

    Oldest son got his card scammed getting gas at the SHEETZ where he lived at the time....

    Scammers somehow read his card at the pump...

    Up to me? All the scammers would be in the Gulf.....chumming...

    At least it is on ground level.

    I had to get mine out of and back into the basement....two years ago?

    Had my buddy wire it....(all I know about electric? what comes off the end of the tungsten)

    Local, FAMILY Owned Lumber Yard, had one in stock. ...I'm thinking? About $400? $450?...(like $20 less than the much hated Lowe's)...

    I have a friend who takes my welding scrap....I had him take the old water tank.

    Had a couple 3/4" copper fittings. Do have a "B" tank....Some solder, some paste...I am good to go.

    Having a lifetime of experience with this crap.....every couple years the hot water tank firms change the location of the "Inlet", "Outlet" and where the gas piping/electrical connections go....


    It is never a straight forward replacement...(they do it on purpose)

    Good luck. Get help lifting it on/off yer truck....(I know...yinz ain't in shape! Yinz own a Chevy...don't get to push near so much as us Ford Owners! :roflfunny:
    )

    Later, Mark
