RE: Credit Card Fraud
I have alerts set up on all CC & Debit
I KNOW within 10 minutes when they are used, where they are used, amount etc
By the time SHE gets home....I already know LOL
Chase is pretty good about fraudulent use
They have contacted me couple of times to inquire IF I had made such & such purchase as it was outside my 'normal' usage

Reminiscing
I was just sitting here Reminiscing about my life so far....wow what a ride!
Strange how majority of life changing events were totally unplanned and yet all has been well.
Experiences I never would have thought I would have, life episodes I never could have imagined, close calls that I came thru.

RE: Plumbing pressure relief
T&P on RV water heater will weep at 125 psi
Not many RV MFGs install a check valve on INLET
And not many have issues with T&P weeping but it does occur
Some can experience weeping EVEN with an air pocket....that is where an accumulator tank can help
** most install accumulator tanks to help with pump cycling during low demand & being able to turn pump off at night and still be able to flush the toilet
But they will also help control system pressures
My WH Tank does NOT have ANY check valves..has 3 shutoff valves
And even w/o check valves I have never had T&P weep except when air pocket was lost.

RE: troubleshooting a propane range oven pilot
The screw your turning converts the pilot setting from Nat gas to LP. Leave it on LP. Disassemble the pilot assembly and clean the orifice and the entire pilot assembly. The screw on the pilot line on the back side of the valve is the adjustment for the high pilot adjustment.
Totally agree^^^^^^^^^^
One other point
That 'spreader plate assembly' for pilot flame...it appears to be pointing pilot flame onto 'barrel' of thermocouple not the tip and in that position is short of the pilot flame ignition slot for main burner flame
Has it been moved...can it be moved???

RE: I Was Stimulated Today
Thanks!
I 'did' use Turbo Tax last year only to get the first stimulus (tax free income so I didn't need to file for taxes)
VA, SS are direct deposit and got a direct deposit for 1st stimulus
SHE didn't owe either (SS direct deposit) but filed via Turbo Tax also for 1st stimulus
She got direct deposit that time AND this time
????????????

RE: I Was Stimulated Today
Last time around I got the stimulus direct deposited into bank account
SHE got a check mailed to her
Both have auto deposits for SS
This time SHE got the stimulus direct deposited on Jan 1
I got a 'Economic Impact Payment Card' in the mail today????
I have to Call to activated it and select/establish a PIN in order for the card to be used.
Checked the IRS 'Get My Payment' and it stated a 'EIP' was mailed cause they did not have a routing number ?????????????

RE: Plumbing pressure relief
Air Pocket in top of tank helps control pressure increase.
Water swells when heated.. without air pocket the internal pressure can increase enough to cause high pressure in both hot & cold systems
Only a FEW RV MFGs install check valves on Cold Inlets
Air Pockets form naturally when filling the WH Tank...same as residential WHs
Air pocket can get absorbed into the water regardless of use ...cleaning etc
RV WH Tanks are SMALL and the air pocket can easily get lost
Turn water off
Open faucet hotside to relieve pressure
OPEN T&P ---hold open until water stops flowing out
Let it SNAP Close
Close faucet...turn water on (pump or city doesn't matter)
Water heater should be heating to 130*F (Suburban) or 140*F (Atwood)
An accumulator WILL help considerably

RE: Trailer hitch pin
Also why everyone should check/recheck there equipment ANYtime you get ready to GO.
Prior to leaving CG
Before leaving Rest Area
After stopping at a restaurant
ANYTIME you have been away from your rig
I do a walk away everytime. Habit!
Yes, before you leave. But I like to check every thing just as soon as I stop. Touch each tire and hub for heat. Earlier I find the problem the better.
As for the pin. When you think about the TW forcing the ball mount off-center of the hole, it would take a lot of force to pull the mount out even without the pin.
I check tire/hub/rotor temps with Infrared Temp Gun when I stop....walk around and do a visual then run to the bathroom
upon return I check hookup/connections and just a general look over
Takes but a few minutes and is worth the 'p''p' dance :B

RE: Trailer hitch pin
My worry has never been the hitch pin, but I always have worried about the safety pin that holds the hitch pin from sliding out.
Guy
There is virtually no side load/pressure that would cause clip to fail
Operator error 9not installing it correctly) ------ YES

RE: I Was Stimulated Today
My income is tax free and $600 isn't going to change that LOL
Course that is WHEN I get it....oh well done stimulated the local economy with all the bathroom remodeling I have been doing.
Tub to shower conversion....that pumped $3000 into the local economy for parts/components
Now I am building a picture frame for the large mirror above the bath sink area.
New towel bars/rings, light fixtures, grab bars still in Christmas Boxes cause I have to finish prep of walls/trim so I can paint (Man paint is expensive these days)
I'll keep the $600 cause I have stimulated the local economy enough for now
2 yrs ago I got so fed up with 'robo calls' I had the phone company put a 'No Solicitors' lockout on our home phones (landline cause cells don't work down in our area)
You have to Press 1 in order for call to go thru....computers don't do that so NO Robo Calls/Scam Calls/Solicitations etc
Heck sometimes I just pick up the phone and check if it is ON.
Sweet silence----LOVE IT

Don't have campfires due to irritant smoke

Watching the activities going on in CG
And just plain relaxing

RE: Propane blockage
Are you “messing” with propane while having no experience? Dangerous bordering on foolish.
Unless one is walking around with a flaming torch WHY not?
Best to learn in a very low pressure system
Besides propane has a NARROW flammability range
