Morning everyone. Looks like I just made it.
I heard Slash graces the new Barbie movie with his guitar licks?
Love me some tricky triangle of Pocono raceway. We have all top 4 series there this weekend.

Made a couple of the "Trans Am" series at both Watkins Glen & Nelsons Ledges tracks.
Gosh...been 50yrs......already!
If I recall? Watkins Glen was "slower"/more & sharper turns.
And Nelsons Ledges was "faster"?/more straight aways?....
Mustangs, Camaros & Barracudas........I think? They all ran small blocks...as the 350lbs more iron in a big block changed the balance of the car? (small block about 500lbs vs big block 850lbs)
Saw one fellow using a six pack on a 340 Mopar...every one else used on four barrel. They sure could rev them up (for the day)....
Couple of the Camaros used the 302....That would plain SCREAM!

This girl is an absolute goon… the wife caught her in the pantry, just helping her self to snacks x)
At least she wasn't double fisting twisted teas too. Might be time to put those up a little higher before she develops a habit. Lol
Pawn Shop, a slice of life.
I tried a new transfer shop. It's a local pawn shop, as in under 60 miles away. While in there checking out the store (pile of shit guns) a looser came into pawn with a play station, and to pick up his gun. They gave him 10% of the value of the PS5, which covered the 40 bucks he owed to date on the gun. As the door closed behind him I heard an employee say, " he will be back on Monday". Ya gotta wonder where he gets the cash to buy his meth.

We keep the M&M's on top
Took a trip to Home Depot. I now have a Rheem, gas, 50 gal 12 year warranty, still in the box water heater.
I also got all of the parts, except the 2 supply lines, to replace my 13 year old, leaking water heater.
Old water heater is drained and, almost ready to be changed out. Still need to disconnect, un solder the
pop off valve copper piping. I have all of the parts to bring it up to the new plumbing codes.
Total cost so far... $923.07. Still need to get a torch, solder and flux. But before I get this, I'm waiting
on some help to get the new water heater out of my truck. With my partial refund from AHS, my total
cost should be around $500.00.
With a little luck and God willing, I should have hot water tonight or early in the morning.

Let us know how that new lead free solder works. I have done a bit of the 60/40 over the years and I hear lead free is a horse of a different color. That old one is going to weigh about 75 pounds more than the new one, even after draining. I helped a friend in Garland a few years ago. There was about 75 pounds of very fine sand still present after draining.

The harder the water, the worse that problem is. There was over 150 lb of it in my dad's water heater when my brother in law replaced it with my help...a couple of decades worth of settling from the well water out there. It took both of us to get it down the stairs.
YES!
If I lived a bit closer...I'd be there...We'd have it soldered up in no time....
Do. Get the same brand solder/flux. As in OATEY...
Do Not. Get one brand solder another brand flux....
Do get some sand cloth.....mayhaps a good FITTING BRUSH?
Cleanliness in solder is a good thang....
If'n yinz owned yinz a blame FoRd?....Yinz be in shape! We all do us a bunch o pushin'!
Meanwhile in Phoenix
Got the old water heater drained I can push it with one hand. Got a friend coming in the morning.
We'll unhook all of the lines, water and gas, remove the old heater and put ti in his truck. He will
take it to the scrap yard. Then we'll put down a new floor and install the new water heater and lines
The copper will be soldered with Oatey solder and flux. And, yes. It's lead free because that's all they had.
