What did you do today?

[DarisMulkin]

Z a lot of the times you can clear a clog by pouring a 5 gallon bucket of water in it real fast, just don't run it over. Have done that many times.

 

[zannej]

Didn't have a 5 gallon bucket here and it's a small old toilet. Friend found it out in a junk heap. The clog was solid. Toilet overflowed and the water got under the vinyl plank.
Any suggestions on how to dry it up? Git a dehumidifier. Thinking we might need to pull the toilet and flooring up to clean under there and then seal it up better. When I walked on it I could hear water sloshing and see it coming up from between the boards.
Friend wants to get a new toilet. Thinking a Toto Entrada.

Zan, the water under the planks could take weeks and weeks to dry up, and it wasn't clean water. I'd pull it up.

 

[zannej]

Highup, that's the plan. Will pull it up, clean it etc. Is it safe to put lime powder on the floor underneath?

 

[Tom Picciani]

Got suv packed. 4 hours to Potter County, up near NY border. Hoping for 2-3 nights is imaging

Lucky dog. There isn't a place within 200 miles of me without thick smoke.

 

[zannej]

I hope the fires don't last too long & that the smoke will clear. I was in Singapore back in the 90s when Malaysia had horrible forest fires that blanketed Singapore. Couldn't stand to be outside. Our gym classes that normally had outdoor activities had to make do indoors bc it got so bad.
I'm winding down to try to sleep right now.

Went to the cardiac doctor, said he would see me in a year.

You moved to Canada!

 

[Tom Picciani]

Talking to you from northern Pa. the smoke screwed up last night. Weatherman says we should be clear Friday night.

 

[Tom Picciani]

And as to how it’s going, rain fly tore. Using tarp to cover holes in case it rains. Broke USB port off guiding camera. A friend is lending me his. But everything is ready to gif we get some skies

When I got home, I asked my wife if she wanted the good news or the bad news? I told the bad was, I should live a few years longer.

If you run into down time and want something to watch, give this a watch.
This gives you an entirely different view of rockets. They ain't what most people think they are.
The prescision in jaw dropping. I watched this last night and my jaw is stii on the floor.

Good luck with the skies.

 

[Floorist]

It is nice to know a guy who fixes A/C. Two capacitors and labor...$100

 

[Tom Picciani]

Well looks like I’ll be getting a new tent in Spring. Rain fly will cost too much to put on an 8-20 year old tent. Looking at Marmot 6 person tent but very expensive. I have till May to get it. Skies were marginally clear. StRs visible to 30 degrees above horizon. Big Dipper washed out. Saw Saturn and a few deep sky objects, old friends in the sky. Sky right now is white with hazy blue patches. Getting into mid 70’s right now. Hoping for clear night fro.

 

[Floorist]

Trying to work on the chair again, but I have no ambition. Need to finish repairing the rolltop desk for my wife and get it off my furniture skids.

 

[DarisMulkin]

but I have no ambition

I mowed my lawns this morning so that ended that ambition for today.

 

[Floorist]

Mine needs mowing, but not today.
