Pregaming for St. Patty's day already?

BTW, I like your seasonal avatar.

Hell yes! DropKick Murphys and Flogging Molly on the playlist all week!

Murder mitten??

The near instant hot water is great, being able to let both kids take a bath separately and then take a shower with hot water still available is why I went tankless with CNG.  The wife has her big tub and can actually have hot water the whole time and the warranty was double our old stand up water heater.  I have heard some pipes don't work with them but we built our house in 2015 with the right piping for it.  I recommend it if you have a large family.

@ZRod Your existing furnace flue pipe may be large enough to handle the additional BTU’s of a gas water heater. Roughly, 4” or smaller won’t be big enough, 5” might be big enough and 6”+ likely is large enough. A HVAC guy should be able to tell you how large of a diameter flue is needed. Then you would know if gas is even an option. The little bit of vent piping from a WH to furnace usually amounts to nothing but, if the main stack isn’t big enough, I’d forget it 

If you can add more electrical service/panel room reasonably, I’d still try for an electric tankless over an electric tank. Just my preference, I don’t like electric tank heaters.

I installed a natural gas tankless in my last home and loved it, but I went with a gas tank water heater in my new house. There are pros and cons to both setups but I found that I wasted too much water waiting for the tankless to start heating and for my lines to clear the cold water. I have a tank system with a hot water loop now so I have almost instant hot water anywhere in my home. 

Seems OK on my end.

This whole effin site is broke if ya ask me.

@JJ Husker Yeah, loading on the desktop version on my phone is very, very annoying. The page keeps scrolling everytime I try to click on something.

I'm throwing in the towel. I tried everything in the book that I can do in a one stall garage. The discs are hung up on the E brake, and theres not enough adjustment to get them off. She's going to the shop...

It might be time for the blow torch.  Just sayin..

I put a torch on it, and it didn't help. I'm not cutting that thing off in tight quarters.

About a week ago.

As soon as a fella emerges from his house following the New Year's hangover.  So it could be today.  

Before July 2 - its closer to the beginning of the year than the end of the year

Bourdain hung himself, and he's always alluded to his depression throughout his shows.

@ZRod Correct you are. Just having a little fun with conspiracies

Always thought he was a bit of a prick, but that s#!t was straight savage.  Ive never seen so many shocked faces in my life.

Bo’s personality is a product of his heritage. Not justifying it or taking a shot at him, but that Italian personality of his makes it hard for some to get over. 

@Savage Husker Dude, I am shocked your post is still up there!  Hahaha!  

Savaage!

They seem to really be getting some guys!

You gotta admit it was a slow start, but it seems to be coming together nicely as the early signing day approaches!

Scotty put his crootin pants on!

It's 2nd and 20. They weren't showing any sign of a blitz and there is a single LB in the box with a single high safety in-between the hashes. It's about as good a play call as you want...The RG whiffs on his block so the DT is plugging Adrian's running lane. The pulling LT can no longer pick up the Mike because he's moved past the B gap with Adrain as he bounces outside and the play is dead.

If our guard actually makes his block the pulling tackle picks up the Mike, and the OLB is late to fill because of the PA. Adrian is one on one with the safety for a solid gain.

It's a good play call that was set up all game long. We just broke down at a key position.

2nd and 20 and our go to play call is a pass that requires 5 yards just to get to the LOS.  You can break it down all you want.  It didn't work, nor has it in any clutch situation this season.  Hence losses to teams we should have beaten.  But yes, in theory it's an awesome play if you have the personnel to run it.

So again, coach the team you have.  Not the one you hope to have in 2yrs.

Uh, no. It's one in a series of plays that gives the defense a single look with 3 possible out comes that they've seen during the game/season: the swing, a deep pass, or the QB run. It didn't work, but it's a pretty basic play that we have the personnel to run. If we can't execute a basic block then we can't run any play. 

It's the theme of this entire season in one play. Inconsistency. 

I'm watching to find out.  You never know what will happen when UM and MSU play!

Someone say badge?

Its been 40 hours since I posted something in the Board Feedback forum.  Still no comment from the owner of the board

I imagine the plan is to offer paid membership without ads.  But a certain amount of pain needs to be inflicted first to incentivize sign-ups.  

Watch it as if you have the power to fire one coach, and only one coach, based on this game.  Let me know which one you pick.  

Not even watching it, I figured somebody important got hurt on offense and Chins group s#!t the bed.

It’s a romantic comedy 

McElroy just praised the FL WR for blocking down field on a long TD run when obviously holding. They come back from break and then say wow holding missed.  Their analyst comes  on and says basically maybe holding? 

And there are also many positives to having him out there doing what he does. High risk, high reward.

Are you no longer a bears fan?

@ZRod Not so much. I haven't watched the NFL in years. I'm technically still a fan, but couldn't tell you who's on the team or where they are in the standings.

Well, I've got bad news for ya. Chase Daniel is your starting QB these days.

@ZRod Exactly!  We went to the bar in Evanston a few years back...we opened the door and people were getting the bar ready for opening..it was not even opened up yet!  It was like 9am.  The entire town is just a really nice (sleep) town.

Sounds like my kind of place! I like towns like that

Nice fans, hard to build up enough hatred to form a rivalry.  They have managed to get under some Illini's skin proclaiming to be "Chicago's B1G team".

"loose?" 

I don't know what you're talking about 

Even with the conservative, vanilla playcalling, I already feel like the offense is better with Vedral in there. 

Jurgens, however, is f#&%ing worthless.
