  1. New stuff from my nephews boy on guitar. He and his brother have been doing a little maintenance work for me lately and ended up buying my Epi 339. They just did their second album but not finished yet. A bit psychedelic!

    I was really referring to condensation.    Which runs off the compressor in your car's unit and causes that puddle on the driveway

     

    My guitars don't generate heat so really they never get to warm anything.  If they did I'd turn off my furnace and "spoon" with my guitars all winter.  [wink]

    I was actually referring to the moisture (condensation) that the pump on your furnace was removing from the evaporator coil in your furnace. Same with your auto a/c. The majority of the puddle is moisture (condensation) from the evaporator coil usually located behind your dashboard. The evaporator coil in an ac unit is what the moisture in the air condensates on.

    A/C can create moisture too.  Which is why when you get central A/C in your house, they also put in a little pump next to  your furnace to pump the excess condensation though a plastic tube to empty into your nearest drain or the laundry tubs.  And why after driving your car with the air on for a while, you'll find a puddle of water under your car after it's been parked a few minutes.  [wink]  But yeah, you're right.  A house with central A/C is much drier than without.  

    But then Crow might want to investigate the effects of cold v warm on guitar wood and strings.  I've always been warned by others not to stay outside with my guitar too long when it's cold because it negatively affects the strings.  

    I guess it all depends on how cool you crank up the air in your house in the matter of playing your guitar out on the porch on a very hot day and taking it inside of an extremely cool house.  All I remember from science class(when it didn't put me to sleep) was that cold causes metal to contract, and heat causes it to expand.

    Actually an A/C unit does not creat moisture. The little pump is actually pumping the moisture that the unit removed from the air into, usually, the nearest drain.

  4. I have trouble comprehending the context of things as others do. Example, I was the only one that showed up naked to a gender reveal party! 
    I’m now having second thoughts about an upcoming diaper party for a nephew!

    I agree, 100%. 

    They should lock this thread before somebody really gets their feelings hurt.

    Weren’t you the one that had their feelings hurt because someone was banned then thought you were owed an explanation? The only one that was butthurt was you! Such hypocrisy.

    Have you tried joining a local book club or Star Wars Comic-Con fan group?

    It's a great way to meet people, and to make new friends. 

    Avoid internet dating sites. 
    There are a lot of con artists on there. 

    Good luck. 
    🙂
     

    I’ve tried all of those options. The thing is everyone I met in those places had ***** cars.😂

  7. Just for the record, alcohol and certain types of Koolaid are a dangerous combination.

    Scenario. A friend loaned me their car. I put a dent in it. Said friend tells me I can no longer borrow their car. Would it be okay for me to spray paint “Cancel Culture” and Nazi symbols all over their car? Asking for a……..well just asking, I’m running out of friends!

    The new "Power Nazis" will shut down power to certain areas anytime they see fit.

    Some of you voted for this...

    Just like the water nazis. Damn them! How dare they ask people to conserve water because you know there is a never ending supply of potable water. I always vote for the ones that can promise me never ending utilities! I really didn’t know people voted for utility companies.

    People need to start using their heads. ADAPT! For example, when I buy my first electric car, I will buy the model with the biggest trunk so that I can mount my 5000 watt gas powered generator.😁

  9. Enjoy your retirement! During my last few months before retiring, anytime I saw someone walking toward the office I would stop what I was doing and put on a big smile. After the usual “whatcha doin” greeting my reply was always “practicing for retirement”😁

    Well, dang,  you were doing drainage engineering the whole time and I didn't even know!  I did lots of drainage and erosion control engineering for almost forty years, mostly for developers.  We'd have to engineer the drainage systems and prepare plans and stuff to get the approvals.  Very cool. 

    Being a civil draftsman for several years, I had to decipher your and the surveyors illegible notes to produce topographical drawings.😀

    Having had a bunch of jobs over the years drafting was my favorite until cad came out then it was just typing data into a computer. I got pretty good with a rubber band on the topo’s though😁

    So, how many bottles of water does it take to fill a bathtub in order to take a bath?  And how long to heat all that water until it's bath hot enough?  

    Or is it you don't mind "cleaning" yourself with polluted water?  🤢

    Whitefang

     

    Firstly; A lot !!!, Bigger tubs take a lot more. Smaller tubs take a lot less. 

    Secondly; Depends on what kind of matches you are using.

    lastly; I don’t clean, I warsh!😂
