    i was trying to feel if it was spinning...i feel "something" whenever the boiler's running.

     

    That why I like my big Taco Red Baron circulator pumps.

    If the house is quiet I can hear/feel them switch on and run even from the second floor.

    the heater was running. went downstairs, showing around 12-15psi and still 170 temp. i touched the tank, it's not hot at all.......

    So the burner runs when the t-stat calls for heat or hot water and temp/pressure are ok. 

    Doesn't sound like the expansion tank, a failed expansion tank will cause excessive high pressure, 12-15 psi is normal. 

    First thing I'd check is if the circulator pump runs when there is a call for heat.

    I don't know what made me think about this.  I still have several of the large 5 quart jugs sitting in my basement and probably half a dozen or so of the regular one quart bottles.

    Holy crap!!  The price is now $66.49 if you order from Wal-mart and "only" $42.99 at Advance Auto for the 5 quart jugs.  Which is interesting because back in Summer of 2020 they had it on clearance because I was told "Nobody is buying it because they think it's just for trucks.'

    So glab I loaded up on it!! 

    Late 2019 AA was blowing out certain Pennsoil Platinum, Mobil Super Synthetic, HM and CarQuest HM full syn oils.

    I was buying 5 jugs as low as $3.79 and qts. for .55 cents. When they were cleaned out at my local store they would order them for me from other stores.

    The really nice black female assistant manager at the time knew me on first name basis after a while, I think she still works there.:D

    It was good timing too because I was running low on my stash from previous oil clearances at K-Mart and AA.

    Doubt we'll see blow out deals like that again anytime soon, AA has jacked their prices on everything wayyy up.

    Does anyone know where I can get 5 gallon kerosene cans filled? Preferably Morris or Sussex counties.

    I've called several oil distributers and they have all said they don't carry it.

    Does it have to be Kero? I've used the low sulfur diesel they sell these days in my forced air heater when Kero prices got too expensive.

    Now diesel prices are outrageous as well but at least its easy to find.

    There was a gas station or two on Rt. 23 north of Butler that sold Kero but I haven't been up that way lately.

    If I get pulled over:

    I plan on handing drivers license, registration, insurance and PTC over at the same time.

    Let the officer decide on where he wants to go from there.

    And your wallet, cell phone, house keys, passport, birth certificate, SSN, H.S. diploma, library card, marriage license, PBA card, credit cards, ATM card (with PIN), hunting license, dog license (with proof of rabies vax), photos of the wife and kids..

    In the videos, the bill's sponsor is asked repeatedly, "So where can people carry weapons?"  To which he replies, "I wouldn't feel comfortable having people carrying here, and I wouldn't feel comfortable having people carrying weapons there." 

    You may not carry on train

    You may not carry on plane 

    You may not carry here nor there

    You may not carry anywhere..

    What's happening here isn't the dems panicking 

    I heard that phrase a lot but I don't believe dems ever really panic.

    Why? Because they know republicans won't have the guts or desire to seriously rollback, defund or repeal much of anything they've done and they'll be back in power eventually through the magic of open borders third world immigration and pick up right where they left off.

    They might even get lucky and have a major recession or fiscal crisis blow up during a republican controlled congress and/or administration.

    Hey Joe! Strategic doesn't mean what you think it means.

    The whole idea of the Strategic Reserve should be scrapped.

    Just gives Biden and future corrupt presidents a tool to manipulate energy markets in their favor.

    My daughter just recently moved to Richmond VA after graduating college.  She called me l she needed a new alternator, and it would cost her at least $1000.

    I drove the car from VA back to NJ with no issues. 

     

    A $1000 "at least" for an alternator?!  :fie:

    What kind of car is this? How old is the battery? 

    VA to NJ with a non functioning alternator? You would've stalled out in an hour or less.

     Instead of going after real crime or  fixing property taxes, wasteful state spending and all the damage Murphy and all his cronies did during the scamdemic they focus on a non-existent problems like conceal carry.

    Understand the Leftist mentality.

    To them crushing taxes, crime or out of control government spending are not a problem.

    Honest citizens exercising their constitutional rights? Now THATS a problem!

    Also I asked my attorney a question for you guys that everyone seems to want to know. If I apply for another firearm in the future, what do I write on the application where it asks if I've ever been denied? He said write denied but overturned in court. The denial is on my record anyway.

    Congrats. :good: Sounds like a little celebration would be in order. 

    I think Pisano recommended disclosure when I got an expungement after a denial way back when.

    However, the idea of forever dredging up the issue every time I applied for PP didn't sit well with me so decided to answer no on subsequent applications, never had a problem. 

    Although my situation was different, I just reapplied after the expungement and it was approved.

    However, while you have no duty to inform, the cop can ask "do you have any weapons/firearms in the vehicle?".

    And you have the right not to answer. :coffee:

    . but even cops get arrested by other cops for ridiculous reasons, 

     

    And when they do they clam up tight and call their attorney.

    If fact, I believe some departments have it in their contract stipulating they cannot be formally questioned for 24 hours after an officer involved shooting.

    I'm curious two things....

    How long would a big tank of propane power a generator continuously?

    Are there issues with propane in winter thickening up or is that an old wives tale?

    My neighbors had a standby gen on propane, also for heat/hot water and stove.  When we lost power in the March 2018 wind storm their gen ran continuously for 3 or 4 days.  I think they had two one hundred gallon tanks at the time.

    So quite a while for a 4800 sq. ft. house.

      Most likely you would need to purchase batteries, a charge controller, and transfer switch.   Won't be cheap.  

     For the money probably better off with a standby generator and a large tank of propane. Propane stores better than other fuels and could power appliances, heat the house, cook your food. 

    What if the grid goes down in the winter during extended inclement weather? This is N.J. not southern California.

    The Amish are big on propane and are the original "off grid" people.
