Are there any trails around plain city? We may be going there Sunday to check out a house for someone going to school down there this fall.

Megalos · **Posted:** Fri Jul 05, 2013 7:15 pm

1. I'm no cuban cook or baker. I'll see what I can do next time we meet up though.

2. Ted...where are they going to school...I can't think of any colleges out that far.

Ted15 · **Posted:** Fri Jul 05, 2013 7:35 pm

A cooking school in Columbus. I don't know the name of it but she'll have a major in business with a minor in baking. I think.

Just the day. I wanted to go to southington this weekend but my nephew got married a couple hours ago and I have to work tomorrow. The wife's cousin asked her to check out this house she found online, she's in California. I don't really want her to go someplace strange alone.

What about old logging roads? Back roads sound cool too.

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jul 05, 2013 9:15 pm

Logging roads galore, but all on private property so they are a no go unless you know the landowners.
If you were going on down to the Marietta area I could take you on some roads that would rival Southington. Some you need 40s to get through any more though, all torn up by idiots

That stinks, southington has some trails like that too. DEEP ruts, even some of the more capable rigs have a winch fest at times.

A trip south sounds like fun, maybe before the end of summer if you're into it.

Has anyone heard anything about a ECS this year? I'm hoping to make it this year if it happens.

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Fri Jul 05, 2013 10:41 pm

Hmm, it's July 4th all over again in my neighborhood.

Oh and I finally have a working hot water tank. I beyond gave up on the one that they left me which they said worked. It's whatever, it was old, rusty and full of sediment, and who knows what else from the old pipes.

Sure anytime, these are all township roads but all are dirt, holes, not the "improved like there is in Northern Ohio. Also covered bridges, and roads that people travel from all over just to drive on with their street cars. Lots of nice country. Make a 2 -3 day run out of it , camp out be fun

Yes we still have left over 4th as well
Thats the best bet to get rid of the old one. It had to be half full of dirt etc
Now better pressure and hot water !

I ended up with a Reliance 606.

Why?

My mom had a Reliance 501, installed who the heck knows when but I'd say 1996? My dad bought it and installed it, can't remember who helped him. I handed them tools.

And it's STILL working just fine to this day, nothing has EVER gone wrong with it... so I decided to stick with the brand.

1996 was the year all hell broke loose. She was sick, couldn't work, etc... welfare, food stamps, everything, grandma was paying the bills...

I was so happy when she got well and went back because paying for stuff with stamps was embarrassing to me and we won't get started with the food bank's green chicken...

Bradford White makes a very good water heater also. :2cents:

I know who doesn't....

GE.

profdlp · **Posted:** Sat Jul 06, 2013 12:55 am

I'll tell you what you don't do:

Have your electrician come around and power up about thirty water heaters in a brand new apartment complex before the plumber gets around to hooking up the water to them.

Zzzzzzztttttttttt!!!! :frankie:

Had that happen at a place I worked at as the maintenance guy about twenty-five years ago. Ever replace sixty heating elements (both upper and lower for a two-stage unit)? You get real good at it after the first half-dozen or so. :ROTFL:

You know it. I had to replace the GE one I got from HD or lowes, don't remember. It was out of warranty by just a few weeks. They wouldn't give me a dime, even if I bought another one to replace it. One of the welds failed about 2/3 the way up from the bottom.
