Oh no, I know the source, it's the sink drain in the wall in the upstairs bathroom, which is right above the downstairs one. I tried tightening the clamp back there, but that didn't help. Taking it apart and fixing it, especially being back behind the wall, is above my pay grade, so I'm happy to call in the pro.Source still not found?

There are 354 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 11, 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the Grand Canyon National Monument (it became a national park in 1919).
On this date:
In 1861, Alabama became the fourth state to withdraw from the Union.
In 1913, the first enclosed sedan-type automobile, a Hudson, went on display at the 13th National Automobile Show in New York.
In 1927, the creation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was proposed during a dinner of Hollywood luminaries at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
In 1935, aviator Amelia Earhart began an 18-hour trip from Honolulu to Oakland, California, that made her the first person to fly solo across any part of the Pacific Ocean.
In 1943, the United States and Britain signed treaties relinquishing extraterritorial rights in China.
In 1963, the Beatles’ single “Please Please Me” (B side “Ask Me Why”) was released in Britain by Parlophone.
In 1964, U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry issued “Smoking and Health,” a report that concluded that “cigarette smoking contributes substantially to mortality from certain specific diseases and to the overall death rate.”
In 1978, two Soviet cosmonauts aboard the Soyuz 27 capsule linked up with the Salyut 6 orbiting space station, where the Soyuz 26 capsule was already docked.
In 1989, nine days before leaving the White House, President Ronald Reagan bade the nation farewell in a prime-time address, saying of his eight years in office: “We meant to change a nation and instead we changed a world.”
In 2003, calling the death penalty process “arbitrary and capricious, and therefore immoral,” Illinois Gov. George Ryan commuted the sentences of 167 condemned inmates, clearing his state’s death row two days before leaving office.
In 2010, Mark McGwire admitted to The Associated Press that he’d used steroids and human growth hormone when he broke baseball’s home run record in 1998.
In 2020, health authorities in the central Chinese city of Wuhan reported the first death from what had been identified as a new type of coronavirus; the patient was a 61-year-old man who’d been a frequent customer at a food market linked to the majority of cases there.
Post by: Travellin Dave on January 11, 2022, 10:42:21 AM
Five years ago: In a combative and freewheeling news conference at Trump Tower in New York, President-elect Donald Trump said for the first time that he accepted that Russia was behind the election year hacking of Democrats that roiled the White House race; looking ahead, he urged Congress to move quickly to replace President Barack Obama’s signature health care law and insisted anew that Mexico would pay the cost of a border wall. Six high-level Volkswagen employees from Germany were indicted in the U.S. in the VW emissions-cheating scandal, while the company agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges and pay $4.3 billion — by far the biggest fine ever levied by the government against an automaker.
One year ago: The conservative-friendly social network Parler was booted off the internet over ties to the siege on the U.S. Capitol, but not before digital activists made off with an archive of its posts, including any that might have helped organize or document the riot. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park said several gorillas there had tested positive for the coronavirus in what were believed to be the first cases among such primates in captivity. Pope Francis changed church law to explicitly allow women to do more things during Mass, while reaffirming they cannot be priests. Billionaire casino mogul and Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson died at 87. No. 1 Alabama won college football’s national championship game, 52-24 against No. 3 Ohio State, capping a season that was played in a pandemic; thousands of excited football fans ignored pandemic precautions and partied in streets around the University of Alabama after the game.

It's getting tougher to be a working man these daysThat's normal unless you are working for yourself. But the benefits are great the way you're doing it.Should have went into HVAC. You have to know electrical and plumbing. I get into both in my trade. I can do quite a bit at home and job but I'm not killing it money wise.If I had it all to do again, I might have become an electrician. Don't have the stomach for plumbing. I also think that if you are good, either of these professions are recession-proof.Anything to make it just a little more gross! :DSo it's not even clean water. Ugh!Right where the drain for the sink connects to the pipe that runs down then out of the house is where the issue is.Oh no, I know the source, it's the sink drain in the wall in the upstairs bathroom, which is right above the downstairs one. I tried tightening the clamp back there, but that didn't help. Taking it apart and fixing it, especially being back behind the wall, is above my pay grade, so I'm happy to call in the pro.Source still not found? Could it be a grout/caulk issue?I don't usually have the heating vent open in that one, cause the rest of the basement warms it enough, but I have it open with the door closed now, hoping the warmth will help dry out the water that got behind the walls. Access panel open with the heat going should do the trick. Plumber friend of mine is coming by tomorrow morning.The heat doesn't work so well in the downstairs powder room. I swear I was pissing icicles.And it would be well earned. And I'd go enjoy your hate with a dip in the hot tub. LolI would tell you to GFY in his same position.And rightfully so, I'd feel the same way in his position.No he doesn't. He loves itgood morning Rick and Tony. I feel bad because I had to close my windows this morning and turn the heat on. 48° going into the mid 60's. at least I have nothing to shovel.Do you really feel bad? Good morning, Dean.

Bayou #32 up later today. Biggest problem with these is if I do take a liking, they are apparently one and done and mostly sold out already.

Second sample from Dunbarton Stillwell Star was English #27 yesterday. Burned and smoked well, but aroma and taste didn't match the #1.A combination of Bright and Red Virginia leaf with the most select St. James Parish Perique pipe tobacco added to a medium-bodied Nicaraguan puro.

This liga begins the mildest of all, but the Perique really kicks up in the end with a spicy finish. It rewards the smoker with that classic “VaPer” combination of zest and umami that is entrancing for the discerning palate.

I know a thing or two about pipes. It's a slippery slope.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220111/fabeddb923dc000ad14401862438bd8a.jpg)Second sample from Dunbarton Stillwell Star was English #27 yesterday.

If I didn't know it's makeup, I would be hard pressed to say it was not a traditional cigar with a slightly unusual flavor profile. A fruit component is noticable. There isn't any clear "pipe tobacco aroma" that I equate with pipe smoke (like the #1).

Hey Dean, this is what we do in Buffalo when it's 15° out(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220111/13c9d703d672c714522c2727acee8837.jpg)Just made some burgers on the grill myself. Though, no cigar while doing so.

Thought I'd put together a list of my favorite 2021 cigars. I tried to go with new ones introduced rather than old favorites, but can't say these were all introduced in '21. These aren't in any order, just 20 favorites. For what its worth, here ya go.That's helpful, thanks.
