Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars. Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

I think I got almost 4 unprotected from the element years out of it. it was just a small 2 burner. new one is a small 3 burner with grill cover. if it gets here.

I saw them last evening but didn't get a close enough look. It seems like a decent deal even though shipping isn't free. Rick might know better because he smokes those on the regular.

Old one was a 3 burner, but had to go up to 4 burners this time. I always joked I either needed a bigger grill or a smaller family. Went with the bigger grill, cheaper that way. ;)

Good morning OY. About 4 bucks a piece is the going when you can find them. I often smoke the 5x52. A very fine cigar any time of day.

Today is Tuesday, July 21, the 203rd day of 2020. There are 163 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On July 21, 1925, the so-called “Monkey Trial” ended in Dayton, Tennessee, with John T. Scopes found guilty of violating state law for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. (The conviction was later overturned on a technicality.)
On this date:
In 1796, Scottish poet Robert Burns died in Dumfries at age 37.
In 1861, during the Civil War, the first Battle of Bull Run was fought at Manassas, Virginia, resulting in a Confederate victory.
In 1944, American forces landed on Guam during World War II, capturing it from the Japanese some three weeks later. The Democratic National Convention in Chicago nominated Sen. Harry S. Truman to be vice president.
In 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin blasted off from the moon aboard the ascent stage of the lunar module for docking with the command module.
In 1980, draft registration began in the United States for 19- and 20-year-old men.
In 1990, a benefit concert took place in Germany at the site of the fallen Berlin Wall; the concert, which drew some 200,000 people, was headlined by Roger Waters, a founder of Pink Floyd. (The concert ended with the collapse of a mock Berlin Wall made of styrofoam.)
In 1998, astronaut Alan Shepard died in Monterey, California, at age 74; actor Robert Young died in Westlake Village, California, at age 91.
In 1999, Navy divers found and recovered the bodies of John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn, and sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette (bih-SEHT’), in the wreckage of Kennedy’s plane in the Atlantic Ocean off Martha’s Vineyard.
In 2000, Special Counsel John C. Danforth concluded “with 100 percent certainty” that the federal government was innocent of wrongdoing in the siege that killed 80 members of the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, in 1993.
In 2009, prosecutors in Cambridge, Massachusetts, dropped a disorderly conduct charge against prominent Black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was arrested by a white officer at his home near Harvard University after a report of a break-in.
In 2011, the 30-year-old space shuttle program ended as Atlantis landed at Cape Canaveral, Florida, after the 135th shuttle flight.
In 2008, former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic (RA’-doh-van KA’-ra-jich), one of the world’s top war crimes fugitives, was arrested in a Belgrade suburb by Serbian security forces. (He was sentenced by a U.N. court in 2019 to life imprisonment after being convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.)

Ten years ago: A triumphant President Barack Obama signed into law the most sweeping overhaul of U.S. lending and high finance rules since the 1930s.
Five years ago: The Defense Department said a U.S. airstrike in Syria on July 8, 2015 had killed Muhsin al-Fadhli, a key figure in the Khorasan Group, a dangerous al-Qaida offshoot. Ohio Gov. John Kasich became the 16th notable Republican contestant to enter the U.S. 2016 presidential race. After a nearly decade-long steroids prosecution, Barry Bonds emerged victorious when federal prosecutors dropped what was left of their criminal case against the career home runs leader.
One year ago: Clashes involving Hong Kong’s protest movement escalated violently, with police launching tear gas at protesters who didn’t disband after a march, and subway riders being attacked by masked assailants who appeared to be targeting the pro-democracy demonstrators. Disney’s photorealistic remake of “The Lion King” wiped out opening-weekend box office records for the month of July, while “Avengers: Endgame” crept past Avatar to become the highest-grossing film of all time. As a sellout crowd cheered him on, Irishman Shane Lowry won the British Open by six shots at Royal Portrush, a course in Northern Ireland that had last hosted the Open in 1951.

I'm guessing I created this mess. Went too long between changing filter and now there appears to be a clog in the condensation line. Opened one end and attempting to snake it but it seems to get stuck after 6 1/2' where the PVC takes a 90° turn. The air has been turned off for about 8 hours and the open end is dripping water steadily into a bucket for now.

Sounds like you may have some sludge forming in the condensate line. You could from the highest point try some bleach and warm water to open some of the restriction.

Can't believe how many right angles this condensation line has in it. Can't easily get the snake through it. Kinda blows.

A plugged filter can cause a frozen evaporator. Your unit may be slightly under charge. A complete thaw would be necessary. It's tough to diagnose w o seeing it. Just trying to be helpful

The filter was replaced weeks ago. I think the issue is sludge.

got all my planned chores done yesterday. just waiting for the garbageman to show to make sure he hauls away my old grill. new one is out for delivery so if and when it arrives I know it'll need assembly. ribs tomorrow if successful.
Gotta love a new grill. Finally got one this year after running the last one through its paces for 14 years.
I think I got almost 4 unprotected from the element years out of it. it was just a small 2 burner. new one is a small 3 burner with grill cover. if it gets here.
Old one was a 3 burner, but had to go up to 4 burners this time. I always joked I either needed a bigger grill or a smaller family. Went with the bigger grill, cheaper that way. ;)Sounds like Fishmath to me.
Does anyone remember the fishes? Both gmrfish and sfish?
Didn't sfish drop by not too many months ago? Like, just before the COVID nightmare started?

Wish me luck. Gonna try tackling an HVAC issue myself. I believe it's more plumbing related but I have to try before bringing in the professionals.
If you need anything I can help walk you through give me a shout.
Much appreciated. What time can you be here?
I'm guessing I created this mess. Went too long between changing filter and now there appears to be a clog in the condensation line. Opened one end and attempting to snake it but it seems to get stuck after 6 1/2' where the PVC takes a 90° turn. The air has been turned off for about 8 hours and the open end is dripping water steadily into a bucket for now.
Sounds like you may have some sludge forming in the condensate line. You could from the highest point try some bleach and warm water to open some of the restriction.
I may try that next. Trying to snake now from the trap. I'll keep you posted.
A plugged filter can cause a frozen evaporator. Your unit may be slightly under charge. A complete thaw would be necessary. It's tough to diagnose w o seeing it. Just trying to be helpful
Much appreciated. I'm gonna try the bleach and warm water next and if it doesn't work I'll call in the cavalry.
Oh, by gosh, by golly! I think we've got it! Warm water wasn't passing the second bend but now it is. Luckily the basement isn't finished so either way I'm turning the air back on.

Indeed. He is now qualified as an apprentice boiler checker. It's easy, just follow Rick around, get him coffee, and dispose of his butts.

Because he put a grill together? Come on, back in the day he'd pour a driveway and build a gazebo before taking a break.

Been getting most of cigars lately from Holts or SBC. They seem to have good pricing and availability of 5 Pks. Haven’t bought from CI in a ages. Also been out of the loop on deals by not being here very often.

There aren't many deals to be had. I guess it's still cheaper than b&m prices but still...
