I replaced an A.O. Smith 1994 80 gallon tank this year with a Bradford/White 50 gallon tank. I was amazed it lasted that long considering how acidic the water is on my property. I, like you, had hesitations about downgrading to a 50 gallon tank to serve three people. I've been pleasantly surprised. The only time I'll get lukewarm water is if I'd run three showers back to back to back. Otherwise, hot water all the time. IMO, a 50 gallon tank would serve your needs easily. Investing in anything bigger is just heating water continuously that you're not using. If you go the standard tank route, try to get one from a plumbing supply supply house, not a big box. You also don't necessarily need to use solder and copper today (depending on your setup) either as the Sharkbites are high quality fittings and they keep rolling out product where you can snap fittings together instead of having to break out the torch.

I asked the same question last year. Perhaps you'll find the thread useful. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/182334-snowblower-recommendations/page-2?hl=snowblowers&do=findComment&comment=3754737

I went with five. Age is a big problem on our Supreme Court. With age comes health problems. You have two 80 year olds, one who's almost 80 (Breyer), and two pushing 70 (Thomas and Alito). There is only one that's south of 60 at this point.

Whoops. Big time miss on my part. Ok, he's an alright pick. Haha.

The Saints are doomed when/if Brees retires. That team is a whole bunch of average without him keeping them in games.

I like all of his choices so far with the exception of the CIA pick. Hate the CIA pick. I think the person who runs the CIA should have military and/or intelligence agency experience.

Whenever one of the teams in the Madden games would move to Mexico City, the team was terrible, the AI was always outbid for free agents and the team was flat broke. So perhaps I've been wrong about Madden. Perhaps it does indeed foretell the future. I'm sure NFL players would love to play for the Mexico City franchise. It's a fresh air gym - escaping and evading kidnapping, food poisoning and a drug war keeps you certainly in shape.

As I've said in previous posts here, a dialogue and working with the Russians would have been Nobel peace prize material in *any* decade but this one. IMO, the Europeans are weak and cheap. They complain about the Russians but not scared enough apparently to meet their obligations in funding NATO, this allegedly indispensable, absolutely vital organization. "Whoa, whoa there you silly Americans! You mean we actually have to pay for tanks and stuff every year?" There's no chance Merkel is going to win a fourth term in a country overrun by lawlessness brought on by her weak immigration policies.

DNP-LOM Did not play, lack of motivation

Interesting article: Firearms manufacturing in the US peaked in 2013. Down 16.5% in 2015 and export of firearms is down 14%. Manufacturing companies made almost the same amount of firearms in 2015 that they did in 2014. There's little growth. Ironically, background checks reached an all time high in 2015. http://www.guns.com/2016/10/25/firearms-manufacturing-ticks-upward-exports-down-in-2015/

Considerably better than Drew Bledsoe. Tony Romo reminds me of Warren Moon. Great quarterback on middling teams and he's got a terrible playoffs record. He won't be first ballot for the Hall of Fame because he's got a lot of QBs ahead of him in his era that have won Super Bowls but I do think he'll get there.

I read the Wikipedia page because I wanted to see what universe Dr. Strange is aligned with - Captain America, Iron Man, Thor or it's something entirely different. This is hilarious: Benedict Wong....as Wong Easy enough!

I find the disarray talk about the transition humorous. Whether it was Trump or Clinton, the idea that either would have all the answers only EIGHT DAYS after the election on staffing an entirely new executive branch is absurd. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/17/us/politics/obama-white-house-transition.html?_r=0

Although very painful I could see the Bills offloading him before he gets himself a year or lifetime ban. I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility regardless of the $$ consequences. If you know the grenade is going to go off, throw it in someone else's yard before you're paying the full contract to a player who's banned from the league.

I have always thought the dramatic retelling of actual Facebook conversations would make for a hilarious play or television show.

I think "Heath" is a goner 1) because the shows are with different networks and filmed in places far from each other and 2) the character to this point has been minor. That being said, they could always recast the role given the unusual circumstances. However, it was rumored that the actor who played Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) was unhappy with the show axing Darabont after Season 1 and wanted off. Instead of recasting Dale, a character that was significant in the comic telling of the story, they just killed off the character entirely.

Don't forget Heath (New Jack Bauer!) and Tara. They end up "somewhere."

The second half of the season lives or dies based on the play of the secondary. If they come to play, good things will happen. If not, be prepared to hang out at the airport and develop surprisingly sharp skills tracking aircraft on the internet.

Rick hid weapons outside Terminus so you'd think it'd be just a standard practice to stash weapons for emergency purposes, right?

I saw a video where someone counted that Rick and the gang have killed 47 Savior characters to date. If fans wanted to get real ticky tacky - Alexandria could have ended the Saviors in the last episode. They had the bulk of the Saviors at a choke point between the gate and the one lane road leading to the compound, pinned in by all the moving trucks. Or, you can get them all inside and take them down from the cover of the houses. Of course, you'd have no story then. Rick's Army took on a far larger, more well equipped opponent in the past - the Woodbury Army - and won.

I'm not on Facebook. Retired from it four years ago. Got sick of seeing people's kids. Some people post so much crap about their kids you feel like grandparents and obliged to send them cards at the holidays. I think Facebook would be a lot more civil if you were forced to break bread with each one of your "friends" every year.

I recall in Season 5 - they were on the road and the Washington Monument was shown in the background which is why I thought Alexandria meant the town. Another point to add - if they are indeed in Virginia, they are not only in the middle of multiple military and law enforcement headquarters and major installations but also multiple manufacturers of small arms and ammunition.

I'm amused that the show continues to write a story where guns are scarce in the United States years post apocalypse. Ammo, sure. Washington is less than 10 miles away from Alexandria and that's a storyline they've yet to roll out. It's probably like a Middle Eastern arms bazaar up there. On the opposite end I have no idea where anyone in that world is finding gasoline that'll actually power something. Nobody's made gasoline for years.

I agree with you. I'd even go further that absent the fringe on both sides, it's not that important of a topic nationally. IMO, the fringe on both sides keeps it alive because there's money to be made off of being outraged constantly. I'd be upset if we wasted a once in a lifetime Constitutional Convention on either topic.

I don't know. My legislature (Pennsylvania) is generally shadier than a peach orchard and accomplishes little but collect their own paychecks and bicker over who should sell alcohol in the state. Anything that requires heavy lifting (pensions, taxes, funding schools and budgets) and these guys can't get on "recess" soon enough. Giving them the task of amending the constitution is well above their pay grade. You might have to count Penn's Woods out of it.
