Never heard of this until your post. Very interesting. I just might have to look into this more to verify the article and what it says. It sure wouldn't not surprise me if it was accurate. Eddie

I'll take the Spur 50. PM inbound. Eddie

That is fall over, knee slappin', funny. Eddie

Hello All, I'm replacing the angle valve on the water supply for our fridge and when I remove the valve and brass connector in the attached picture, the water flows freely for a good while, creating a wet mess. No idea how much water, but easily a gallon or more as it soaks multiple towels and rags. Before opening up the water supply line, I open three faucets in the house and turn off the water to the house. I have a Grundfos circulator pump too (to get hot water quickly to all locations) that I stop when I open the faucets. Any CWT plumbers that can tell me how to stop the water from flowing so I can install the new AV? Did I need to stop the Grundfos long before I actually shut off the water as the house might be harboring residual pressure from the Grundfos? The AV is about 3-4 inches above the floor. Thanks for your help. Eddie

Just wanted to say thanks to @CopperStateDiesel (a/k/a Hunter) for his most excellent work he did for me last month. My '01 4Runner went into limp mode a couple times (a little un-nerving to say the least if you've never experienced it) a few weeks ago and I thought of Hunter since he'll come to me as driving my T4R more than a mile or two from the house was risky. He DX-ed the issue quickly, his prices are fair and his communication is top shelf and the problem is fixed. Eddie

Just an update for CWT posterity. Below is what I ended up doing to replace the valve. The only water source lower than this supply valve was the irrigation system so I ran it for 3-5 minutes after I shut the water off. When I removed the plug to install the new valve, the water flowing from the pipe seemed to be less than before, but I had the new valve ready to go and installed it quickly to minimize the overflow. I also came up with what you see in the pic to control the flow of water to the towel. This all worked well and only a couple ounces of water overflowed until I got the new valve installed. Thanks to all who commented and reached out. Eddie

GLWS. Eddie

I have these. Brand new. Take your pick. $40 each. PM me if interested. Eddie

I can see my hunt in the portal now. Drew my first choice, baby!!! Woo hoo!!!!! Eddie

Are the items included with the rifle from the factory included like in this pictire? Thanks, Eddie

btw, don't anybody panic if you're pending charge disappears. Mine just did, but in the past it's always been temporary. I had this happen in the past and freaked just a bit when this happened but it will be back based on my previous years experience. No idea why it does this, but I suspect it's CC related. Eddie

Amazingly, my card was hit today so I'm going elk hunting baby!!!! Eddie

Thanks CWT for your comments and help. All is good and the short answer is that, since it's the low point for the water, I just have to control it or let it drain to a bucket. With the water turned off, and the supply line low point, it's just going to drain some water until it's done. Eddie

No solar or HW heater expansion tank. I'm shutting the water off after the city meter but before it enters the house. I'm sure the house shut off valve is not leaking as it was replaced about 10 years ago with a ball valve. I'll shutoff the water using the city valve next time and the house shutoff next time. We only have one valve for our irrigation system so I'll run the irrigation system for a couple mins after I shut the water off. Thanks @forepaw Eddie

Location? Thanks, Eddie

Shoot, I thought an Au drop of 10% was bad until I looked at Ag. Ouch. Eddie

Good point @GreatWhiteBuffalo I sure as heck forgot about the refinery backup since so many are selling. The only good news is it costs nothing to ask. Eddie

Just an FYI that 90% silver coins are also called "Junk Silver" or "Constitutional Silver" and probably a few other names I'm forgetting. Often times shops will offer you a multiple of the face value of 90% coins. as it's a very easy conversion. For example, if you have 20 silver dollars, you might get $60 for $1 face so 60:1. This is just an example as the silver runup recently might make the 60, number, 65 or 70. Shop around as prices can vary widely. Ag spot is now at $101/toz. I'm truly gobsmacked at its runup and this might be a good time to sell. Good luck, Eddie

Just another of the endless examples of the few screwing the many. You know like those poor somalians in MN or the Uvalde cop found innocent yesterday for not doing his job while innocent children were slaughtered. As GC says, it's a big club and you ain't in it. Eddie P.S. And @bonecollector if one believes the article in the link, he's a DDM or DDS.

Hello All, Selling my Ruger Mini-14 in .223 Remington. Owned it for 5+ years, but bought the SS version of this rifle recently so this has to go. This is a 185 series rifle and is ca. 1990. Caliber is .223 Remington and includes 4 mags (5, 10, 25 and 30 rds). The 5 rd mag is Ruger with the others aftermarket the best I can tell. All function as designed the last time I used them. This rifle should only shoot .223 Rem with larger grain bullets (> 65) for optimal performance as the barrel twist is 1:7. I also installed a Trueshot barrel stabilizer soon after I purchased it to improve accuracy. Price is $800 (cash is king) and meet in N. PHX/N. Scottsdale area. Zip Code 85254. Must show me your AZ DL, sign a BoS and NOT be a prohibited possessor. Happy to answer any questions. Eddie

Sold. Thanks CWT. Eddie
