I'll drink to that! And indeed, I'm going upstairs right now and tuck into a decent bottle of Italian red.
Wishing everyone (well, almost everyone) a very happy and financially safe New Year.
@JD-co- Yes sir, you must have been reading my mind-waves. An ironic aspect of his political sabotage is that in many important areas his beliefs are in direct confrontation to those of the criminal he helped to empower. I certainly hope that he thi…
@FD1000 doesn't give a damn about "law and order". As long as he's making his money he's just fine with the outrageous attack on our Capitol, and his president's pardoning of the attackers.
Care to reply to that, you slimy parasite? It was you who …
I should clarify that we do have a large clothes dryer for larger items, but my wife prefers to use the clotheslines for the smaller stuff. Also, since PG&E has some of the highest electric rates in the US, the clothesline is a small economy. I …

Yes, exactly. In fact I actually vent some heat into our SF basement because we have clotheslines in that area, and I frequently work at the workbench down there too. That heat also warms the floors over that area, as you folks have noted.
Say there, FullyDevious- You maybe remember this one too?
The Unite the Right rally was a white supremacist rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, from August 11 to 12, 2017. Marchers included members of the alt-right, neo-Confederates,…
Hi there @Derf- I think that it might depend on where that uninsulated ductwork is running. If it's in an area which is regularly fairly cold, it may very well pay to prevent the loss of heat in that area. You know, it really shouldn't be all that e…
And as if we needed more, there's this excerpt from a current commentary in The New York Times:
On Dec. 24, 2008, President George W. Bush revoked the pardon he granted a day earlier to Isaac Robert Toussie, a developer in Brooklyn who had pleaded g…
It's interesting that @FD1000 says above that "OJ appears hostile toward legal, highly skilled immigrants" and "OJ supports lenient policies toward illegal immigration... [allowing] thousands of individuals to enter the country with insufficient vet…
Ah yes, MGJ- our "Monte Carlo" advocate. And Ted. Enough about him.
@rono said, "What I treasure is the knowledge I gained on this board from so many people over so many years.
Absolutely.
@FD1000- Nice hatchet job on my observation. Now, how about an accurate non-edited quote:

We're all in agreement here. If the heat exchanger has failed from old age everything else is at the limits of useful life also. BTW, the igniter system that I described uses a high-voltage spark. That's a totally different and much older type than …

To elaborate a bit, the igniter is the part which develops a fairly high voltage which is fed to a small device which generates a sparking (arcing) near the burner.
If the heat sensor detects successful ignition, it sends that information to a cont…
@hank- We have a Champion generator similar to one of these (our model is apparently no longer available). There are a number of factors to consider on this. If you decide to get a new gen, give me a private message and we can talk about that.
Dual…
@hank- Nothing close to your snow storm, but last week we had a pretty decent "atmospheric river" (we used to call those a "pineapple express"). Took out the power over a very wide area up at the Russian River from late Tuesday through early Friday.…
