I also thought if a bunch of us net buddies got together we could have a good jolly time. However. The Volunteer Coupon asks if I am a man or woman. Whoa. Will they in their infinite wisdom assume that I am not capable of doing any of those jobs ? Will the ladies be given a cute halter top to wear? Or what ? I am also tired of being asked who my spouse is. If I had one, do I need their permission ? Am I not allowed to help if I don't have one ? What if he died, why do they want to know ? I guess I still want to help. Anybody ?

Another idea is to check the window thickness. It should be single-strength glass (3/32"). If someone has replaced it with 1/8" or 5/32" glass, the retainer is very hard to fit. Another tip is to soften the seal in hot water first - and be sure not to stretch the seal too tight when installing - try to get as much seal length as possible into the opening. That way, as it shrinks with age it wont pull out and leak.

Waddell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [VACList] Vermont Daisy, I think you're maybe looking at this the wrong way. Most of the people as we all know (and sometimes complain about) are older men and women in the WBCCI. They were brought up in a time where most men were "gentlemen". Gentlemen are taught that you open doors, take out the trash, dump the septic and just do the type of jobs that are nasty and dirty. Call me old fashion, but I think that's part of the problem now days. A lot of are younger men are not "gentlemen". As for the spouse thing, again, it is to make sure that the spouse is included in the activity. It's the "proper" thing to do. Again, old fashion. Being that some could be a widow or widower, you never know maybe they're just looking for a date! But I will say this, if you, as a women, show up in a pair of overalls, boots, gloves and a tool carrying belt, I don't think they'll have you baking pie's and knitting blankets.

There is actually New Old Stock material up for auction. I am not related in any way to the seller.

My unit will deliver hot water all day BUT it tends to flame out if I drive too much water through it. I think there is a test to regulate water pressure but I haven't figured it out.
