wife called me at work, the 1/2" pipe that feeds the fridge burst in the kitchen ceiling, shot a hole through the drywall. She was at the sink at the time and scared the daylights out of her. I wish I had a video of that! Apparantly it got cold here in the high desert last night. When I cut the burst section of copper pipe out there were long ice cycles inside. I think I'll add pipe insulation......fun stuff!

My son texted me it was -46 with wind chill in Cheyenne and unfortunately his job is all outside no matter what, he has to keep patrolling and checking on his troops.

. We dont use the heater very often we just put on more clothes. Because the pipe was exposed and above the insulation it looks like an after thought, like they forgot to put it "in slab", got the walls up and insulation done then realized there was no feed to the refer. It's insulated now! Let the area dry out for a few days then close up the ceiling, then on to finishing replacing my son's bathrooms tub/shower valve. Joe Plumber.

Wow, hope you feel better soon. Those back problems are rough. Got stuck in Vegas Airport years back, couldnt move and could barely breath without excrusiating pain.
What's your son do in Cheyenne? Hope it pays well to endure that kind of temp.

Thanks. Yeah, we've been together for 34 years now, so she's well trained.
And, you can bet the job was done right, she supervised!

Yeah...and our season is over before D1 even starts.
Pueblo isn't gonna happen...there's a sports car race there that weekend. Why they didn't know that before they released the date is anybody's guess
Randy's negotiating with Bandimere for the same date. I hope that comes through...it's a much nicer track.
Not real happy about the back-to-back weekends, but them's the breaks.

The D1 opener in Spokane would be nice since it just happens to be the weekend after Redding (but that's another subject 
), but it's just too much traveling and expense for me.
