First time ever purchased legally. And it was very good...according to him anyway. I don't partake. Asthma kept under control...as long as I avoid triggers. Luckily the wine makes up for that. 😉 🍷 Speaking of wine...our upcoming trip to northern CA the end of this month is going to be very...very different. No more just showing up at the wineries during open hours for tastings. It's all by appointment only...and those tastings are small and quite involved. Most are 25 bucks a person...one I booked is 50 per, but includes local artisanal cheese plates with their select high ends wines on their patio. Supposed to be a 1.5 hour event with only 4-6 people at a time. Ouch...but it's one way for them to make some extra bucks and will actually be kind of cool since there will be no more "belly up to the bar" crowds to compete with. 😄 That would be very weird. I'll have a bag of chips, a beer and a joint. 🤣 I no longer smoke but see nothing wrong with it. Even with the current protocols your wine country trip sounds great. Enjoy. 🍷 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in a tankless water heater but my research seems to indicate the electric tankless water heaters leave a lot to be desired when compared to a gas model. Would love to hear what others here think about an electric tankless water heater. I'm also facing a full electric service panel. Last month I had to install two "tandem" breakers to make room for a new circuit to charge our new electric car. We have a 200 amp panel, maybe I could install more tandem breakers for a tankless water heater? I don't know. I think you should stick to a tank.

I leave mine on, simply due to the website change CC made years ago. Definitely now limits the signatures and long lines of repeat pictures. Speeds up scrolling. 🙂 Did you mean off? Mine in the off position is when the selector is grayed out. I agree. Off dose speed things up and easier to read posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Off dose speed things up and easier to read posts. I am not sure now. As far as I know being able to read the signatures is showing up...though to read the whole thing on a longer signature (like long list wordy me)...I have to "expand" the signature. Yup, I just checked. Mine is set to "on". Still don't see the longer signatures unless I click the expand feature. The old website had some really...really long and detailed signatures with lots of "countdown" showing.

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted April 14, 2021 #12986 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Big things are happening here today. Coping is installed along with base for the pavers.

mo&fran Posted April 14, 2021 #12987 Share Posted April 14, 2021 we replaced our tank earlier this year. WE asked about a tankless, and they said the wiring for that circuit would not provide the amperage required. A whole lot of rewiring required. If you try to turm up the temperature, it could exceed the circuit capacity, hopefully popping the breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started smoking marijuana in the mid 60's until I was forced to quit in the early 80's I always heard, if marijuana was made legal and taxed like alcohol the states would benefit from the dollars generated instead of the dealers/growers profiting. Or maybe I was just high. 😉 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She booked this one privately in 4 working days and it is the same surgeon that would have done it through the government “free” system. That is crazy.

Not cruises but you are still going on vacations. I am still going nowhere. On Monday we drove 20 minutes into Spain to go to a shopping mall. That is the sum total of my travel since August. 😪 We have no cases of COVID, nearly everyone is fully vaccinated and we are still stuck because Spain currently has their 4th wave and not doing well at all. So I have to share my dream.. I had arrived at port on embarkation day for a cruise. I could not pay for it, I kept trying different SIM cards in my bank card nothing would work. I was about an hour away from sail away and I guess they told me to give up. That is how my life is at the moment. Granted we can go to restaurants, the curfew has lifted, shops open. But we still cannot go on vacations. This should make you feel better. It’s our backyard, today. Ignore the horrible fence and gate; we’re having it replaced when the ground thaws, if it ever does! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on getting your nails done for the first time since last year. Salons in my area have been open since June but business has been real slow for them and they had to let go of 2 employees. They told me about 2 weeks ago when I went for mani-pedi that business is slowly picking up again. I know the salon I get my hair cut at is almost always empty unless I go on a weekend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to have an electrician do a load calculation if your panel is full prior to installing more space saving breakers. This may have been required when the charging unit was installed. Many jurisdictions require this as part of the permit process Edited April 14, 2021 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
