Not sure about the tree, But I already put away the Santa sleigh and pengiuin that was blowed up in the front yard. Actually it was a smart idea from the wife to pack them up before the rain hit.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

I'm told ours is up until the company leaves Thursday, and then it will probably wait until we have a crappy weather day to do it.
With all she has out it will take most of a day to pack it and put it back in storage. I'm always happy to get the house back to normal.

Hmmm, do they all have that? I don't remember seeing that on my last one. I never change an element on it. Still worked great, but leaked. Current one is only a few years old.

Our entire Xmas decorations this year consisted of three Gnomes on a table in the classroom! Won’t be to hard to get em put back in box’s. Next year however will be very different I fear!
Usually one of the pipes is zinc. Let me google it. When they get sacrafised then the steel will rot. Also good idea to drain them once a year, thats why most have a spigot on the bottom. Takes the used zinc out.

You should change them around every 5 years. That will really extend the life of the cold water heater.
Yup... one of those things where if you're going to drain the tank then it's a good idea to get at all those. I need to hit that this spring as I'm on well water and I can already see the mineral buildup in the coffee maker
Same here. No real way around that but a water softener.

So in an effort to eat healthier this year I made a tuff decision. No more Butter Pecan ice cream. Only vanilla for breakfast! Grandkids are gone but I get leftovers!
PB blast it before taking it out. Usually a *****.

Yeh, I know what it does, and makes sense they would have one. I just never gave it any thought. Before the last electric water heater ours ran through a coil on the old oil burner. I did just look it up and saw a recommendation to change anode every 3 years. Also mentioned that water softener will decrease the anode life.... @dukeboy_318
Smart choices there!
Makes sense the salt.

I like to take my ice cream container and pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften it up.
It's a chit storm too when I get caught eating like that out of the container.
We go to a local place and they make their own. Like $8 a quart but it is really good!!

Understanding Production Date Codes
- By Moparr Motor - Detroit (Nov 1992, Dec 2004, Dec 2010)
- The following information can be used as your guide to better understand the date codes that are applied to components used in the production of vehicles. There are various types of date code identification applied to material.
- Production dates could be etched, stamped (ink or steel punch type) on the part or even on a tag. Keep in mind that this is just a guide. Chrysler has a scheme that was to be followed however, some suppliers applied the code slightly different. Some codes are easy to spot and translate and some require a considerable examination.
- Typically the scheduled vehicle production would be from August 1st to July 31st.
Ref Date code type Code meaning Example Components typically found with
this type of date identificationA Alpha-numeric 2 digit code Month & Year E9 = May 1969 Carter carburetor base, Carter Fuel pump, Viscous fan drives, drive shafts B Single digit Year G = 1971 Engine identification pad C1 Two digit Month & Year 71= 7th month

C2 Two digit Year (Calendar) 70 = 1970 Alternator and starter C3 Two digit Month & Day 12 6 = December 6th Wheels . The part number would give you an idea of the year.

The Month Numerals Are As Follows

We have a local chain here 3B's good stuff about the same price for a quart.
Hope to take our tree down Tuesday or Wed. We have to close off the living room because the cat likes to climb inside and he bends the limbs up. It will be nice to get the living room back.
