Took buzz to get a snowboard for the season and left cash to hunt with grandma again. I think he’s getting the hang of it? This is the text I get from him 
I think somebody's son has inherited his father's somewhat off center sense of humor.
Not that that's a bad thing.
I was thinking this morning that it's about time for our wintering pair of geese to show up.
Took the Mrs. to a late lunch and some shopping, and when we got back home...

I enjoyed risky pursuits BC, like rock climbing mountaineering, etc. As soon as I learned the Mrs. was pregnant, my risk level dropped significantly.Just perusing the news while enjoying a little nip of local Breckenridge bourbon.

@tnichols - she might. I dont even live there and that makes me miss IA sunsets.
I lived a pretty risk filled life before kids.
Ice climbing, rock climbing, skiing 14ers, back country skiing (always made conservative safety decisions), and class V kayaking. Oh yeah, rafting off waterfalls too.......
Changed drastically once “dad” became my title.
Which was the minute there were 4 side by side positive tests in the bathroom one morning.....

Here's to you, Super Plumber from 2004! ?
Here's to installing a water heater in a crawl space and then boxing it in with interconnecting drain lines, so it won't escape!
Here's to the time tested and proven concept that NOBODY... EVER... has to replace a water heater, because they last forever and ever!
Here's to cramped spaces, pipe wrenches, angle grinders with diamond impregnated cutting wheels, extension cords, Sawzalls, the joys of fiberglass insulation, hammers, screwdrivers, safety glasses, face masks, gloves, and words that Baby Jesus doesn't like for us to say or to even think!
It was a fun morning!
So thanks, Super Plumber from 2004!
I hope you've prospered and done well in whatever vocation you transitioned to after plumbing. ?

They must have set the water heaters and then installed the drain lines.
We went tankless some 18 months ago, but this thing has been just sitting there in its little drain line prison for all that time.
It wasn't bothering anything other my OCD and the notion that it's doing nothing but taking up space. We're getting the crawlspace encapsulated soon, so it was time for it to go.
And this thing is awesome!
Cut through the jacket like butter and the tank wasn't much more effort.

I despise working in crawl spaces!! Basements are way nicer?
My little project for the mid day; we have this old school bell. I blasted and painted it last spring. Finally got around to getting it up on the deck. We’ll stain the post in the spring. Had to mull of some protruding pieces in the one side for a slip fit in a 4x4 post.

@Tucker301
Only laughing as I have had so many projects in my life taking care of someone who had to be drunk or high when they did it.
A hard days work and some extra disgust for sure.
I always like the names I come up with for busted things I am fixing. Whore is usually involved a few times.
@Geno C.
That bell is awesome. My mom had a little one to call us home. And we knew just how far we could go to play and still hear it.....
Saw this and was worried for you. Hope you are not suffering.......

Michigan liquor shortage driven by software problems at one of three state distributors
It's hitting restaurants, bars and retailers throughout the state.
www.foxbusiness.com We had a bell very similar and I believe it’s still there. Mom would ring it for chow time if we were late getting in.@Tucker301

@oneshot86 is looking for a bell...
I didn’t face mount it because the holes were just a little wide for a 4x4. I could have made a bracket for the opposite side and clamped it to the post but Jamie said it would look better in the middle of the post.
I thought you knew me a little better than that... shortage? Not in my house!@Tucker301

Was the little gal riding that blue Kona cute?
Something about petite fit gals in spandex.......
Hey...he knew "HE" wasn't gonna be replacing that bitch....and as he installed it, he was thinking that very thing.
We only make shit easy to replace and work on in our houses.
In reality....
That was probably where the inspector or builder or engineer, wanted him to put the water heater.
I can't fathom what moron wants a water heAter in a crawlspace, or an attic.....fricken insane.
She was short, fat, ugly AF and had an Adam’s apple and receding hairline.
Ughh....fuck that noise.
I could fix that critter for ya. Heck I can fuck up a brand new armor plated pH meter.
how long for two frozen chik’n burreetoes ? ?
@Dirty D - Did ya get a pic? ??
Or was that just lookin in the mirror? ?
Hope you were all safe and had fun.
Looks like an awesome ride. Rode a lot of great single track and empty logging roads before kids. Several great rides direct from my house. Had a scandium and carbon Salsa hardtail all out in SRAM, Chris King, and more gucci stuff than I can remember. Bought it a year old for $1700 off a doc I knew who “had to have this years”........ Weighed 20.5 lbs with tubeless and rolled out like nobody’s business.
Harder to find the time with the kids at this age.
Plus time with them helps shape them into solid folks vs SJW snowflakes that seems so prevalent.

what does the signature of a couple of burning pubes look like ?
(Asking for a friend near Astoria.........)
My guess is a touch carbon heavy??? Lol
I forget.......you in the coal patch/Powder River Basin, possibly working on methane recovery ? (Legit question)
Cheyenne. Oil and gas. I install/calibrate/troubleshoot dry gas oriface plate meters. Basically I fix and manage cash registers for oil and gas companies.I forget.......you in the coal patch/Powder River Basin, possibly working on methane recovery ? (Legit question)
Geno IS the reason for the shortage. ?
Good luck with the formal training. Operation and maintenance will seem relatively easy if you've got a good instructor.
How do you use a gas chomatograph to work on a meter?

ahhhh, got it now. Good thing you’ve got a cozy, warm office and don’t have to stand out in the middle of the prairie in a driving blizzard to calibrate that shit.......

That’s all I do... get muddy or cold....
I have great views out my office though.
Thats nicer than my office!!! And it is decorate with awesome kid art, pics of them and momma, and some useless crap about saving peoples lives......
I have a newer truck now too.
I just play dumb. It keeps peoples expectations low for me.

You know, I was gonna say fuck that noise, again. Then I happened to think, muddy sure, cold maybe, but his wallet, clothes, truck, hat, probably doesn't smell like 150,000 designer beer farts.
