GOOD FROZEN FRIDAY EVERYONE. We are in the 30s again this morning. Hopefully the last day of this. Justin just wanted you to feel a part of we missed you. Bill I heard Tucson broke an old low temp reading yesterday at 18 degrees.
Chris, yea keeping the water dripping does help unless you live in an RV. I found that out in my first year of RVing in the 1980s. The water doesn't drip down the holding tank or sewer pipe fast enough. I ended up one night in Jackpost NV with a frozen bottom of my tank & my sewer hose was froze solid. So don't do that unless you catch it in a bucket then dump it down the RV toilet in the night. I cut down one of those sheetrock mud tubs to fit under my kitchen sink. So we only had to dump it a couple of times in the night when we got up to use the bathroom.
Boy cold temps are not far enough away. Last year in Fallon was one of the coldest most miserable winters we ever spent. Temps a few days dipping to -25 degrees. We did freeze our sewer pipe & I had it wrapped with insulation. It was an awful winter for us. So this is a piece of cake.

Man Cody, Talk about bad luck. It always seems like sometimes crap comes in bunches. Is it OK now?

I hope all is OK with your wife. I would take it to the guy that built it & see what he says. That is a bummer though.
