if you know you have a water freeze problem, let the water trickle at night

When it gets -30C even that can then freeze up in your sewer if your sewer pipes are not well insulated and cause your next flushing to overflow  :x

Man.

Been rainin off and on last few days ..this evenin was beautiful ..blue sky, puffy white clouds,
..about 5pm I decided to clean up the car and get all the water spots and dirt off ..
..69 degrees .. t-shirt, hat, and long pants .. a bit too cool for shorts.. but perfect.

Man that red Hemi Challenger looks good at sundown when she's clean..
..so I quick like a bunny waxed all the top surfaces while I was at it.

Ok ..mebbe not quick like a bunny ..anymore .. but .. I did it.

Lost track of how many walkin by wanted to drive it, liked it, thumbs up an the like.

Phoenix rocks this time of year.

I didn't take a pix ..was gettin dark by the time I finished :(

Was 114 in Sydney when I was there a few weeks ago. Thankfully I didn't have to leave the hotel until the temp dropped later in evening.  :D
 
Of course whether it's hotter or colder, it's all due to man made climate change. I say what ever the greenies have tried over the last few years obviously isn't working and governments around the world should ask for their money back.

I'm not sold on man-made climate change. We probably put more carbon in the air by breathing than we do with all our factories and cars, and the temperature seems to fluctuate; I mean back around 200 years ago, we were in the middle of a mild ice age.

Climate change is man-made. Mindlessly vomiting millions of gallons of waste into the Pacific ocean and constantly filling our skies with pollutants. There's even traces of mercury now found in fish. Nuclear waste being crapped into the Pacific from the melted down Japanese nuclear reactor is a big reality too. Deforestation happening by man? Impossible. Wait...What? I think my brain just fried up there.

Ecological damage? Sure. Making it hotter or colder? Not sure on that, at least us being the primary cause. Remember correlation doesn't mean causation.

Man-made climate change applies to the atmosphere heating up and cooling down too. Its a slight change in temperature, maybe 2 degrees at max, but it still happens.

Like I said, I think its more of there begin 6+ billion of us exhaling untold millions of tons CO2 each day. I really don't believe that our factories are causing excessive (or even noticeable) change in temperature, not without a lot of help anyway.

As for mankind vs nature .. check up on what just a moderately sized volcano did .. Mt. St. Helens.

I read it blew a hole into the ozone layer the size of New Hampshire
with more fleurocarbons than man has emitted in his existence..among billions of tons of other stuff.

Using more pure explosive power than all the nations on this earth posess.

It rained.

All better.
Well .. except for that lil old lady who wanted a front row seat,
and the reporter who thought he was far enough away.

And if you really want to scare yourself ..read up on Krakatoa.

I live in the upper midwest and I work outside.  The rubber on my fancy North Face boots is cracking and splitting like crazy.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Get yourself a nice pair of Timbalands.  :)

I'm going back to Sorel.  I don't buy timbaland even if the Wu Tang Clan does.
