What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Do you have an air purger over the expansion tank or hy-vents that are not working properly? Mineral deposits can crud them up.

 

Maybe. This is a pretty rudimentary system.

 

Like I say lukem ....I don't know much but I do know that I don't know about boiler systems.

Wish I could be more help.

 

Yes, keep doing that. Air in the system will cause it to not work. The bigger question is where is all that air coming from? Did you add water to the system recently? Is there some sort of air scoop/air removal device in the system? Any pics??

 

So, on my way home from work tonight I saw the unfortunate consequences if a deer running across the road and getting hit by a car. A small 6 pt. The car was steaming, and worse the buck hurt, legs certainly broken, and in pain clearly suffering. I wasn't in the position to be able to stop, but there were several cars and people stopped already.

I feel very bad for the deer. Such a majestic animal wasted in that manner. And in pain. I wanted to stop, and dispatch this animal and stop its pain. I also know that unfortunately there's a chance of me having to deal with repercussions from stopping, and dispatching it with my pistol. I'm in a suburban area, not far enough from the big city.

So I felt bad for not ending this animal's misery. I just think it's too bad that I had to think about the possible repercussions to inconvenience me, versus ending the deer's suffering.

I just hope that the police were able to get there asap and do what I was going to do.

 

That sucks, I hate to see an animal have to suffer like that. I've just done what had to be done, explained to the DOW and went on my way, but I'm not near a city.
Sorry you had to see it but it happens. Next time, break out the "trunk monkey" and be done with it. Not judging, just saying.

 

Yeah. I'm licensed for CCW, and I do. I'm also a hunter too. The laser sight on my 9mm would've made it easy. But there were at least 5 people standing around, and there was a house close as well. We have laws about discharging of firearms within a certain distance from homes/ buildings here as well.

It's not really the city, but not rural enough as this was between 2 golf courses.

 

Sucks, but unfortunately you made the right decision.

 

I recently drained the system to move a radiant panel during our mud room remodel. That's how the air got in.

There is an air scoop at the boiler exit that directs air to the expansion tank.

Did some reading last night and sounds like I just need to keep doing what I was doing. Only problem is I'm 800 miles from home right now.

I get home late tomorrow night and and goig to try to hunt Friday AM...maybe Friday evening I'll get a chance to work on it some more. I'm not on a hurry...the wood stove is my primary heat...I only fire the boiler in the wicked bad cold or at the end of the year when I'm tired of burning wood and the stove would heat things up too much.

 

Monin... frost on the deck & grass. Looks like it's time to think about getting the plow back on the Jeep and tires changed on Grammy's ride.

 

REALLY blowing here this morning. No moisture yet but I think it is on its way. Getting ready to go for a walk.

 

Don't think twice about your decision. It was the right one.

Now-a-days, anytime you pull out a firearm, you should expect to be, at the very least, detained. If you were out in the country, different story....but residential with homes nearby, nope!

And with all the people that were there and the technology available, you could also expect to be recorded and posted on media. And that could have led to repercussions.

As far as the animal suffering, lets face it, it goes into shock and doesn't feel anything.

Keep driving, right decision.

 

Oh she'll be the envy of her friends unlike me in the 6th grade when I wanted glasses (for the first time) like my cool classmate, Richard Robinson---wire rims--no I had to get plastic and forever after felt the dork---of course I went on to be the valedictorian---but I still wonder about that trade off---I hope I've captured a bit of that "wild side" now that I'm able to make my own decisions---anyhow best of luck to her!

Well just talked to my beautiful bride.. How do I tell her.. my love for our 5th year anniversary we got a brand new septic system. For our 6th its a brand new electrical panel. With fresh new wires...... not your master bath

Anniversary is saturday

 

well then, that hotel room could prove useful after all!

 

How about a new hunting rifle? You know, the one you've had your eye on for a few years now.....

 

yeah that's obviously more important than a functional kitchen bathroom and kitchen
