Electric right now. Furnace is gas.

120 gallon hot water tank - one of the heating elements (bottom) threw the bit today. Service tech disconnected the dead heating element so I'm limping along with the top element (which winds up heating about 50 gallons). Good to run for a short period of time. Two story house and only myself. Occasional guests (family). Energy standards have reduced tank size to 50 gallons now. Would like to not have any issues if I should decide to sell at some point in time. Anyone have a tankless water heater? Are they cracked up as they are promoted? Thoughts / suggestions?

And whatever you do - DO NOT put your hand down the chute of a two stage. You'll be missing fingers or more. We had a IH 2 stage when I was growing up. Dad showed me the implications of doing such by putting a broom handle into the chute and having it hit the impeller. Not pretty.

Grandfather worked there. My dad worked there for a couple of months and realized that school was the rule.

Ack - gag !!

Why dont the people spending all this negative energy on Facebook (along with marching, chanting, burning, etc) put it to positive use by getting involved in the process. Oh wait a minute, I'm too . . . .

Only two words are necessary today to those that have served - Thank You.

Then you have the Texas Rangers baseball team getting a new new stadium. The current new stadium is approximately 20 years old!!

If you are coming to CBUS for the game, dress warm!! Will be in the low 40s by game time.

Stayed here in my visit to Napa - Cottages of Napa Valley (http://www.napacottages.com/)

Looks like a parking lot fight at NEF.

Get some fresh air!!

Early voted this past Sunday with about 50 people in front of me. Moved through the line and voted in about 15 minutes. Took me longer to drive there than wait / vote.

Congrats to the Cubs org. And a large CBUS shout out to the Indians.

Pretty dominate last nite. Hope CLE bats can wake up a bit over the weekend - otherwise . . . .

From BBC.com - The biggest merger to be announced this year would combine AT&T's distribution network, which includes 130m mobile phone customers and 25m pay-TV subscribers, with content from the Warner Brothers film studios and the cable TV channels HBO, the Cartoon Network and CNN.

Business pundits indicate that this will be very difficult to clear SEC. Also, debt load on ATT is already off the charts.

I agree. About a game a month.

Pretty coll huh? How many did you eat?

Gung - agree with you on CLE. Their starting pitching is essentially down to 2 (Kluber and Tomlin) and host of relief pitchers to go with 2 closers (Miller and Allen). If Merritt can get through 5 with little to no damage, I see Tito using the same plan as game 3. Rolling out a new reliever until he can use Miller and Allen. GO TRIBE!! C

Add this into the mix of Buffalo cuisine - http://buffalonews.com/2016/10/12/black-sheep-owners-steven-ellen-gedra-take-manhattan/

May roadtrip up there just to take in the fun. City Tap would be my end point to watch the game.

Why not pick up on the other Rust Belt team??

If it winds up CLE / CHI, they may be throwing snowballs instead of baseballs.

Just thinking in a manner of angles / timing, the throw to Woods (or any throw to the sideline where the receiver is running parallel to it) may be the hardest one to make. For any quarterback. The angle, speed, and distance all have to be spot on. Where on other throws, the margin of error is greater because the receiver, and possibly quarterback, can make more adjustments.
