I've got an exposed heating pipe in my basement that looks kind of like that. In the past, I've used a fiberglass band/patch to try and repair it. It only drops a little water for now. I may wait until winter is over and the furnace is off before tackling this one. The proper fix would probably require a licensed plumber and replacing at least that piece of pipe. Not sure I want to do that just yet though.Good morning Tony and Dave.

Today is Friday, March 10, the 69th day of 2023.
There are 296 days left in the year.Today’s highlight in history:
On March 10, 1969, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty in Memphis, Tennessee, to assassinating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. (Ray later repudiated that plea, maintaining his innocence until his death.)
On this date:
In 1496, Christopher Columbus concluded his second visit to the Western Hemisphere as he left Hispaniola for Spain.
In 1785, Thomas Jefferson was appointed America’s minister to France, succeeding Benjamin Franklin.
In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln assigned Ulysses S. Grant, who had just received his commission as lieutenant-general, to the command of the Armies of the United States.
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell’s assistant, Thomas Watson, heard Bell say over his experimental telephone: “Mr. Watson — come here — I want to see you” from the next room of Bell’s Boston laboratory.
In 1906, about 1,100 miners in northern France were killed by a coal-dust explosion.
In 1913, former slave, abolitionist and Underground Railroad “conductor” Harriet Tubman died in Auburn, New York; she was in her 90s.
In 1965, Neil Simon’s play “The Odd Couple,” starring Walter Matthau and Art Carney, opened on Broadway.
In 1985, Konstantin U. Chernenko, who was the Soviet Union’s leader for 13 months, died at age 73; he was succeeded by Mikhail Gorbachev.
In 1988, pop singer Andy Gibb died in Oxford, England, at age 30 of heart inflammation.
In 2015, breaking her silence in the face of a growing controversy over her use of a private email address and server, Hillary Rodham Clinton conceded that she should have used government email as secretary of state but insisted she had not violated any federal laws or Obama administration rules.
In 2019, a Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed shortly after taking off from the capital, Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people on board; the crash was similar to one in October 2018 in which a 737 Max 8 flown by Indonesia’s Lion Air plunged into the Java Sea minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 people on the plane. (The aircraft would be grounded worldwide after the two disasters, bringing fierce criticism to Boeing over the design and rollout of the jetliner.)

Five years ago: Syrian government forces made their deepest push yet into the eastern suburbs of the capital Damascus in a major blow to opposition fighters. Campaigning in western Pennsylvania for a Republican House candidate, President Donald Trump told a rally that his new tariffs were saving the steel industry.
One year ago: Civilians trapped inside Mariupol desperately scrounged for food and fuel as Russian forces kept up their bombardment of the Ukrainian port city amid international condemnation over an airstrike a day earlier that killed three people at a maternity hospital. “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler was handcuffed by Atlanta police after he was mistaken for a robber when he passed a teller a note while trying to withdraw a large amount of cash from his account.

I use FamilySearch. It's free. I was scrolling through a list of living cousins when I saw Zach's name. So I checked details on Wikipedia to make sure it was really him, and it was.I would guess Ancestory.com and such.I found out last night that Zach de la Rocha, most famous for being the vocalist for rock band Rage Against the Machine, is my fifth cousin once-removed.

Now, by the time you get to fifth cousins, you're deep in "six degrees of separation" territory. I mean, there is a pretty strong statistical possibility that one or more of y'all is a fifth, sixth, or 7th cousin of mine, by marriage if not by blood. Probably not Tony, though, as there seems to be very little Italian representation in my ancestry. Most of my people are northern European, though based on names there were some Spaniards that joined up with the Norman invasion.
Four of my family lines trace to colonial America, two in Massachusetts and two in Virginia. One of the Virginia ones originated in Switzerland. My namesake line immigrated from Germany to Wisconsin by way of Canada in 1848, and another line came from Scotland to Canada in the 1870s. These German and Scottish lines moved to North Dakota in the 1880s after the Natives were pushed into South Dakota, and hooked up there.
From there, the Dakota folks went to California during the depression, and by then the Virginia lines had found their way to Iowa and New Mexico as did one of the Massachusetts lines. They eventually all met up in Los Gatos, California, and...here I am. Though there still a lot of my kin in Bottineau County, ND and in Appanoose County in Iowa.
My wife's people all came out of Buffalo, NY and Newark, NJ. Polish and German, mostly.
