  1. At least Justin Timberlake has talent
  2. I just want to know when they will get a good halftime show.
  3. 3 gallon bucket and a pool noodle. She'll be sitting down so no need for the shower curtain.
  4. And pray you didn't lose a neutral. The potential to let the smoke out of all your electrical appliances and potentially kill you is huge.
  5. Listen and learn
  6. Mine will be too so I won't even bother posting it.
  7. Completely off topic, the steroid home run wars between Sosa and McGuire was the only time in history that baseball was entertaining
  8. So you're saying Favre is on the same level as Tracker Boats?
  9. Eli? Was talking about Peyton
  10. In my lifetime it's Manning or Favre leaning towards Manning
  11. Manning broke his neck. More methodical QB than Brady. I put Brady in the top 3 but not the top. I say a shoot out between Brady and Favre for the #2 spot
  12. Smile? Guy was meticulous.
  13. I've had homeless turn away food because they want cash. There is a huge homeless population in Chicago. The bulk are mentally ill and/or drug addicts. They work with each other scamming folks. At my old store, there was a fake blind guy who would park his car at the grocery store down the street and was blind until he earned enough money for the day. I'm leery of anyone homeless claiming they are a vet and even more leery of the folks sitting in front of the grocery stores saying they are helping veterans. I would rather donate money to a known organization like Tunnels to Towers than hand it to a homeless guy. I have paid for meals in restaurants for folks in uniform but, only if there is more than one of them. Again, living where I live, it's difficult to know whom is lying and whom is telling the truth. I texted a buddy of mine last night to see how he's doing. Said he's going in for ACL surgery. I asked if it was because of the trades. He said "No, I left my knees in Iraq" Last year during the holidays, there was a "homeless" guy trying to sell raw meat that someone had given him instead of money.
  14. I'd put Manning as the GOAT
  15. Eric learning how to tie flies at the Chicago fishing show
  16. Pretty sure I posted some of her music earlier in this thread
  17. This was early in my career prior to taking all the OSHA courses. When one does things repeatedly without incident, one becomes complacent. Complacency can kill.
  18. Homemade chicken pot pie
  19. Shouldn't need a survey. Take it to a reputable dealer and either get the seller to pay for the cost of an inspection or split the cost with him. Shouldn't be more than 2 hours labor. An hour to run the computer report for the engine and an hour to go thru the boat to make sure everything operates the way it's supposed to. I'd rather be out $150 if the inspection failed than tens of thousands buying the boat blind.
  20. Want to talk about soiled linens? When I was still turning wrenches, I went on a call that a warehouse unit heater wasn't working. I was standing on a pallet on a forklift 20ft in the air. Had the guy cycle the unit from the thermostat and I hear the gas come on and the ignitor comes on. Generally, a proper operating unit would fire in under a second or 2. The unit fires up after about 8 seconds or so and blows up in my face. Burned off my eyebrows and a bunch of hair. What had happened is one of the forklift drivers hit the unit heater and jacked up the gas train. The gas train filled the cabinet with gas rather than the heat exchanger and BOOM! I'm lucky I wasn't blown off the pallet to fall 20ft to my death.
  21. Sent you a PM That pressure switch has noting to do with gas. It measures static pressure from the inducer motor. It's primary purpose is to confirm operation of the motor and that there are no blockages in the flue or heat exchanger. While I do agree that the system, being as old as it is, should be checked by a professional, he's not going to blow himself up. The pressure switch went out on my furnace on New Years Eve. It was almost 20 years old as well.
  22. m/s# will be inside the furnace, on a tag either in the burner or blower compartment
  23. Tell me more about blowing and sucking... You will more than likely destroy the switch doing that so I wouldn't recommend it I'm a havc parts distributor. Your switch is obsolete. Sounds like the switch is bad based on what you're saying. It could be other issues as well. There are universal switches available. The issue becomes are you measuring +.94"wc or -.94"wc. Generally, it is -"wc if that's coming off the inducer motor. Robertshaw makes an adjustable switch but it has a different mount than what you have and different electrical connections. Your switch is a SPST and the adjustable is SPDT. It will work, you just need half a brain to install it and to set the "wc Part#2374-495 Post the model/serial# of the furnace and I can see if the part has been replaced with something else
