So, you're not far from Davenport? Any uptick in excitement with the IA caucus being today? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Talking about cold I have a question for the braintrust. My Sister, who lives outside of Austin, TX called me this am asking for advise. It was 16 degrees there and two of her outside faucets were frozen. Their house is on a slab so there is no way to get to the pipes. Any suggestion from the hive on how to best protect their faucets? She didn’t have any hoses attached (thank God) and there is no shut off for that line and is worried going forward. Thanks! ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Snow flurries in Houston's northern suburbs. It's 25 here and falling. We're already 6 deg below weather guesser's forecast for today.

Just made the trek from IAH to home. 40 min & probably a dozen accidents, almost all of them on overpasses. Even had a rubbernecker manage to 90* his Tacoma while going 12mph in crawling traffic.  And, we're supposed to have a high of 70*F on Thursday...
Close enough My company has an office in Kilgore & my boss usually stays in Longview instead, when he has to go out there. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

19° when I (remotely) turned up the heat. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Ice tends to expand, pipes tend to split (Burst). This can make a huge mess. There must be a way to access the pipes, crawl space, or something else. At the very least, I’d find where the pipes feed from, drain the water out of the system and install a shutoff valve, maybe one with Sharkbite fittings. Going forward, if there are no leaks, I see two choices. 1- make an access and install heat tape/ trace to the lines, add pipe insulation and buy a insulated cap for the spicket. 2- drain the line every time cold weather approaches. Good luck. P226 9mm CT Springfield custom 1911 hardball Glock 21 Les Baer Special Tactical AR-15 | |||
