Okay.. Thought I would share.. was out working on the wifes car.. no to little heat.. Think I have that wipped.. but I get a call from a friend of mine.. SHe has no heat in the house.. She says it is the thermo couple and ask if I could come over and install it.. Yeah, of course I said. Well I get there, and 30 mins later we have the thermo out, gone to the store and back, installed.. Lite the furnace, she sparks up no problem..we set the temp, she fires up.. I run to the bathroom, out it goes..So, I start breaking out the fluke.. I cant find anyting wrong. So, I remove the pilot light door, re lite the furnace.. away she goes..NO problem.. put the door on, out she goes..I am looking for any thing. I cal my wife ( she works for a heating and cooling company) she gives me a list of things to look for.. as she is doing this, I start thinking, why does it work when the door is open, I bet.. Just then Sheryl says.. Have you checked the stack to make sure the vent is open? Sure enough, snow, all the way to the air intake..Well there is no ladder, but there is a deck, with a railing.. SO I am able to get my hands on to the roof, there is a ridge of ice all the way around that makes a great handle. So, I pull up, clean off the vent.. good to go.. as I am I coming down,, that damn ridge gave way...So.. as I am laying there on the deck, with snow all over.. I am here to share my lesson learned, but never practiced.. No good deed goes unpunished.. but normally followed with some sort of comic relief..
You guys stay safe.. I am going grab a motrin or 2, follow that with a beer, or three, and see how I bowl tonight..
Nick, I am thinking I like those mirrors.. Nice Job!!!
Mine has 2 new motorcrafts, new GP's and relay. Running dino oil too. It starts like its nothing even down to the 7 degrees we are having lately. Chugs for a quick sec then goes right up to high idle and she's good to go.
Go get a quart of syn, and a quart of dino oil of your favorite flavor. Put them both outside when it's 7* and after a while, go out and have a look. Pour both into another container and tell me about running dino. I've been running syn oils for years and will never go back. Your romps *will* go away completely...

Pat, as the saying goes, no video, it didn't happen!!
Hey Jeremy I got a question for you, are you still using Google Chrome? I just got a new laptop and Ive been using it but its giving me some problems and was wondering if you were having some problems too.
Well a busy day of Christmas shopping today. We finally came home because the blowing snow was just getting too bad.

Sounds messed but whatever
I shoulda said Im getting married the same time you are Lisa
Oh please Sheldon. Don't tell me a big tough guy such as yourself is afraid of a marriage certificate.
Randy told me the other night we could go down to the courthouse tomorrow if I wanted to...I don't want that. How romantic. He brought me home flowers as a surprise for the first time ever last night. I almost fell over in shock.
Randy is the last boy to carry on the family name. We're going to have to have a traditional wedding or his parents will croak. I'm not ready to plan a wedding, so I told him not to worry about it right now.
How long have you been with your girl?
And what kind of "deal" are you talking about?

But that's not the funny part -- he then CARRIES it out in the dining room (where he always carries his treats to eat) in his mouth, then licks it clean. Maybe I should try beating the tar out of the cat's dish and see what happens. He's smart enough to put that together, but maybe too smart where he won't care since it's not him getting in trouble. ..
Its worth a try. It'll probably work on some dogs, others not so much. Dependent on the personality of the dog. Mattie does that crap, carries her water bowl into the front room when her water is gone, as if to say "hey, more water *******". But when people come over to visit she gets excited and grabs it and flings water everywhere.

Mine did. As you guys saw my truck started in -3 with no plugin the other day. Not sure it woulda done that on conventional.

If it'll keep the crazy neighbor lady away? Right now!
I found this in another members signature, and since I'd never seen it before found it quite funny.
I love cats.
...but I can't eat a whole one.
That's good Mark! Used to work with a guy that had some GREAT bumper stickers. One said "I love Cats...dead ones" Another was this....."My Gun has killed less people then Ted Kennedy's Car"

My son is the last also, and his wife has no intentions of having more. That is very much to my dismay but out of my hands. Both my girls have given me grandsons. Funny how that works, huh? I have two adorable granddaughters from my son, but it just ain't the same for some reason. When my son was about 20 he had a beautiful girlfriend that his mother and I just adored, she got pregnant somehow and they decided on an abortion against mine and moms wishes, so all I can do is wonder now.

I had to clean the stack vents for the plumbing in our home today too. Had a slight sewer smell, and went and looked and there was snow ontop of one of the pipes ontop of the roof. What a pain that was at minus 40, the wind up there was intense!

Ill send ya a pm about the "deal" im sure she wouldnt like me spouting it off to EVERYONE haha.
You might be too young to remember Bewitched, but that lady reminds me of Mrs. Kravitz

I'm sorry to hear about that Mark. We had a similar incident in my family, only my dad was able to convince one of my siblings that abortion was not the answer. It was big drama for a really long time.
