    just bought a new hot water tank...and now waiting for plumber to call me tomorrow. ugh..love unexpected expenses (see thread "what are you drinking now")...though this old tank lasted 17 years!

    The hard part is getting them up and down the stairs. Hooking them up is easy. Just watch that your 20-year-old plumber does it right...

    Careful leaving that outside.  I lived near a town that required a permit to install a water heater.  The town code enforcement officers said that also meant a permit was required to replace one.  To get a permit it needed to be inspected by a union plumber.  It was not unheard of to fail inspection unless a union plumber had also been hired to install it.  So a simple water heater install became a very expensive and paperwork intensive process.

    The code enforcement officers would drive around and see if any stray water heaters were seen being delivered or thrown out.  If it was, they would look for a permit.
    We have to have it inspected too, that's why I'm STILL waiting on plumber to call and tell me he's on the way.

    It is on the pad in back...can't see it from the road

    theres nothing to inspect on an electric, either you wired the two wires correctly, or they are backwards and it does not heat. your new one wont last 17 years

    My current electric water heater is 20+ years old. It was here when I moved in. A plumber that visited for an unrelated job said that I needed to replace it with a 40 gallon Tallboy, insufficient horizontal space for one of the new fat ones with extra insulation on the sides. I'm driving by Lowes today and might stop bye and look. Really I'm waiting for the home building market to crash due to higher mortgage rates in order to get some things done around the house.

    I will say, native clams are unlike anything I can get down south.  

    Also, hanging in a local pub (different place) is interesting.  I’m an introvert by nature, but love to listen/watch people in their comfort zone.

    Waiting to see if this package gets here today, as expected. It reached the Phoenix area, where all my five letter carrier packages go to die.

    Last time we went there my wife got a lobster roll, we sat down on the rock wall across the street at the beach and my wife lifts her lobster roll up to her face and a seagull swooped in and took all the lobster out of it. It got a good portion of it in its mouth, the rest fell on the ground, which the seagull came and got immediately. Evil .. pure evil.

    I seem to recall one of these “shock jock” type radio guys going down to the shore and feeding alka seltzer to seagulls one day, during his radio show.  Apparently that makes them explode, just like pigeons.  Or it makes it so that they get so bloated they can’t take off.  One of those.

    He had another one of his crew walking around with a pair of bricks, clapping the heads of the seagulls together, to put them out of their misery. They figured all of this would probably get the PETA people upset, so they did the obvious thing and … cooked the seagulls up and fed them to the local homeless.  

    Thought you’d appreciate that one.

    The alka seltzer thing is a real deal.  Been many decades since witnessing that...that's extent of any further comments on @JohnInCarolina 's post above.

    I was riding up a highway with the HAFB motorcycle club, and a seagull flew up in front of me, to my left.  I made a fist and swung at it, just barely glanced it and it felt like I broke my wrist.  
    At the next gas stop I was greeted with lots of laughter and high-fives (with my right hand).  Except for one guy's wife, she never spoke to me again.   :|  Wrist hurt for a week.

    I almost mentioned the Galley Hatch to you. For years they were consistently great with their food, and the dessert selection is phenomenal there, but the last two times we went, we were disappointed with the food and service, so I didn't mention it. The time before that I went with a group of 12 people and we sat in the pub. An older women, seemingly well past retirement age was our waitress. She joked with us a bit, and didn't write a single thing down when we ordered, and we went full on with drinks, appatizers, desserts etc. She didn't forget a single damned thing the whole night. When we got our bill we double checked it, sure she had forgotten to put something down, but it was all there. I think we tipped her 40% that night, well deserved.

    Lunch service ran a little long, but the food was really good.  Very tasty clam chowda
