NY, NJ, all the people in that area can seem to be rude. Don't let it bother you. It's just the way it is sometimes. I'd say pick what works best for you.

Biden Quietly Bans Most Gas Powered Tankless Water Heaters https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/biden-quietly-bans-most-gas-powered-tankless-water-heaters?fbclid=IwY2xjawHolUdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHZdjdzwOz9MRYnX8ifElK-EpojV4aW9WG6uR3PdhuOCorz9sDWUC6ACRrg_aem_vkk_AY8N1t3PVBJ55hGdSg In a significant regulatory shift that took place quietly the day after Christmas, the Biden administration finalized new climate rules targeting natural gas-powered instantaneous water heaters. The Department of Energy (DOE), which traditionally issues a press release for such regulations, chose not to announce these changes publicly, raising eyebrows across various sectors. According to the Free Beacon, the new regulations aim to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, a move aligned with broader climate change mitigation efforts. However, the regulations are set to remove approximately 40% of the current tankless water heater models from the market by 2029 (between gas and electric). This shift is expected to force consumers to opt for either more expensive or less efficient alternatives. An industry analysis forecasts that the average cost increase for new water heaters due to the regulations will be around $450...

Ugh, I had to go back to work this week, and worked the WHOLE week (that's Mon-Thurs for us). All those northerners are back and the traffic is horrible. And why do they not know how to drive properly? It's been cold all week. Even had to turn the heat on (mostly in the morning). At least the new mattress heater works great. Check engine light is on in the SUV. A minor emissions problem but I'm not going to try to fix it since it's under warranty. Just need to find the time and make an appointment at the dealer. Probably means waiting a few more weeks for an opening. The toilet at the office has developed a leak. With every flush it has a significant flow of water from a bad tank to bowl gasket. Off to Home Depot today to get the parts. Then off to the accountant. Oh, there seems to be a problem with the well water treatment. Chemical injector control is sticking. I've worked on it a few years ago. Needs attention again. Hope I get some rest this weekend. My rant for today.

Well, it seems that winter is bearing down on us. Today was not too bad, low 70’s and I was out in the boat, but tonight it’s cooling off. Just had to put the long pants on. In the morning it will be down to 60, and later next week it Will get into the 50’s. Need to start looking for that warm winter jacket I have somewhere. I did check yesterday and made a few tweaks to get the heat to work. Haven’t had to use heat since the new ac/heat pump was installed a few years ago. Needed to change out the thermostat to get it to kick on. Headed back to the mainland this weekend and that means it will be even worse. I’m seeing that morning lows will be into the low 40’s by later next week in Naples. Highs only in the low 60’s. Pray for us.

That was my thought also.

That’s fantastic. I’ll bet that telescope would be terrific for spying on neighbors. LOL

Now that I think about it and understand you, I suggest you text her. Probably best to text her every hour or two until you get a clear answer. Be sure to beg, plead, whine, and give her a good sob story. I'm sure she will clear things up for you...

Just wait a little bit. Trump says Canada can be the 51st state, and then she will be domestic.

I would say just cool it and see if she replies. No need to burn that bridge yet. If you need closure send yourself an e-mail. Maybe the JC does have a point. Tuna Gunk? Maybe Tuna Slop?

Yes, that is correct. Depends.

Before I do that I always check to be sure Boiler is still ahead. LOL

Maybe not. See this: https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2024/12/31/big-lots-reaches-deal-to-keep-hundreds-of-stores-open/77326681007/ Big Lots reaches deal to keep hundreds of stores open. Here we go again. Is that what they call ghosting? Well we stayed in last night, but there was the usual partying in Key West. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/key-west-rings-in-2025-with-red-shoe-drop/ Key West rings in 2025 with "Red Shoe Drop" KEY WEST - Thousands of revelers in subtropical Key West welcomed 2025 with the "drop" of female impersonator Randy Roberts perched in a super-sized red high-heel shoe. The annual "Red Shoe Drop," staged outside the Bourbon St. Pub complex on the island's famed Duval Street, was one of Key West's warmer weather takeoffs on the traditional New Year's Eve "ball drop" in New York City's Times Square. Elegantly dressed in a blue sequined gown encrusted with thousands of hand-applied rhinestones, Roberts...

OK. I’ve got a few prospects, but first let me ask you how you feel about changing adult diapers?

She probably lives in northern Manitoba. But hey, you know what they say about Canadians.

I would use what you plan to use going forward.

Just sitting here putting together a mental list of the perfect woman for @TBoneTX. Must be a rubia Must love cats and popcorn Must be able to consume a God awful diet of tuna glop and Costco quick foods Must stay up late and like to sleep in Must search for and gather all relevant food coupons Must love kids Must be able to tolerate the presence of the ex Should enjoy searching for GS and ES items. Where is she hiding?

Well, I would say don’t act too needy. Play it cool. She will get back to you on her own time. She is a woman. She needs to digest your relationship with your ex. I will share with you some advice I was given years ago (that I didn’t follow). Find yourself an ugly, probably overweight, woman and she will stick to you like last weeks dirty underwear.

You need help? Or maybe that’s not supposed to be a question.

What brand? I have a Shark at home that has been pretty good. I have an IRobot here in the Keys that does give me some problems. Can down yesterday, and on my way here I told it to vacuum, but when I arrived it had not left the docking station. Message was a stuck bumper. Picked it up to check and everything seemed fine. Have had other annoying issues but nothing I’ve needed to send it off for. In fact if it screws up worse I’ll just replace it.

Dump her now man. She's just a worthless, somewhat typical rubia. You deserve better. Mama Neon has been sick and has had an annoying cough. We are all avoiding her. Of course she feels neglected however I have been speaking to her on the phone. She didn't get together with us and the daughter and grandkids (in her case great grandkids) for Christmas. This morning we are headed to the Keys for the week and when I told her about that last night I got the "well I guess I won't see you for another couple of weeks..." sad story. She says that at least she has some friends where she lives. I know what she is trying to do. Did that last night, not because I was sick but because I was dead tired from a full day working outside cutting and trimming with the chainsaw. Falling asleep sitting up before 9:00. Knew if I went to bed then without assistance I would be up before 3:00am. Took the nighttime cold medicine and slept like "an illegitimate child" until 6:00am. WOW. I never sleep that late. Now to get my rubia up so we can head to the Keys. Check to be sure she is legitimate, if you know what I mean.....carpet and drapes.

Black or blue probably doesn't matter. Just had a need to look at my wife's last week and she signed it in black ink (several years ago).

Toucans?? Holy guacamole! I could barely consume one can on a good day. Adding to your existing gaggle of rubias... nice.

I was spending the afternoon with my daughter and the twins. (Proud grandpa here) Got to watch much of a great game where the Ravens destroyed an inferior team. What did you get her?? Wow, so kinky... I never thought about using that line to get out of a potentially boring conversation. Keep us informed with all the juicy details. And good luck.

They did that here too, until well after 1:00am. Why? That used to really bother our little dog but she is deaf now.

Merry Christmas to all my VJ friends here. @TBoneTX, I hope you got the present I sent, and the check too!
