I had a valve put in to keep me from going. It was working so good I thought I would wear my Boxers.

Went to get up and somehow it opened and I was wet.

Yea I think Shark Bite would be a lot cheaper. You figure you spend $40,000 on something you wouldn’t get wet.

Ah gotcha now

Hey Wrench,

Have you ever used Shark Bite plumbing connections?

The old T valves that pierce the pipe will not pass home inspections anymore but a shark bite valve will.  I have two.  One for the humidifier line and one for the frig water.  They work great.

Twice.   Both were an immediate success.    I love them.  

One was on 1/2" copper. The other was on 3/4" plastic service line coming from a well.

I used them for the first time today and had the same success as you...kind of blew me away how good they worked.

PEX and Shark Bite is what I use anymore.

Hey Wrench:  What length of nasal hair is acceptable before trimming is required?

Also, what should I do about that cat?  She deserves the promotion but I'm a little worried what the neighbors might say.

Don't trim your nose hair.  Grab it with tweezers and rip it out by the roots.  Nobody wants whiskers in their nose. 

You'll have to refresh my memory in regards to "that cat".   What cat? Whose cat is it?    If it's a neighborhood cat that is leaving footprints on my vehicles, or getting into my boat(s).....I alert the owner of the feline that the cat only has 8 or less lives left now.     

I allow all kitty's their full 9 infractions  because I am guilty of throwing out fish guts occasionally, and boats often smell like fish too.......So, I wanna be 100% fair about it.   

There's currently one that's getting real close to having a pellet installed in its head here

Do they make vise grip tweezers?

About the cat.  She's ours.  Very cool cat.  Sticks around outdoors while we're on vacation but does meow a bit too much on our return.  Thinking of promoting her to hep cat but across the road neighbor has a really big gray that wears a very hep red collar.  Don't want to start any trouble trouble.
