• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

This is a pic of work yesterday.
The scope of work is actually cooler than the view.
This is a very green friendly piping system.
I'm piping large solar panels on top of a San Francisico high rise building.
These solar panels with a couple of insulated tanks and a pretty cool recirculation system allow two very small micro boilers to heat over 400 units.
These micro boilers are each about the size of a fridgerator.
Heating 400 plus luxury units with all "the bells and whistles" like spas,indoor pool,parking,retail and such with the sun and two fridge sized "Chingas" just makes me smile.

Nice looking welds there Andrew! I used to be a pipe fitter but my welding was limited to support brackets and motor mounts. I always admired nice clean pipe welds. I used to be pretty good with plasma torch though and the guys would always ask me to cut holes or odd angles for them. A good pipe welder always has work!.
