PEX elbow? It's a copper elbow. But, I bent the end of the elbow some when I was removing the pipe from it, so maybe I should replace the elbow with a PEX elbow? If I do that, I'll have to get a decent tubing cutter to cut the PEX evenly beyond the end of the existing copper elbow.

Would that work, or did I go down a rabbit hole?

You can replace the crimp on elbow with a push fit elbow.
And yes to a clean cut on the tubing.

also at Lowes get the brass push fittings. Not the plastic or copper ones.

The song that always comes to mind when I think of Herb Alpert.



He's blowing so easily and not puckering much, it looks like he's fakin' it to me... "lip" synching?
On the other hand, watching Dizzy Gillespie makes my face hurt.

I agree with you, but not because of the lack of pucker. The reason I agree is that the rendition seems identical in every way to the rendition on the LP.

I'm sure you won't mind watching this lady play trumpet with very little obvious effort:

OK, wish me luck! Headed to Lowes in a couple of minutes, broken hearts parts in hand, and if no knowledgeable employee is there to help me, I'll head to Ace Hardware.

Good luck and a question ... how do you format the strike-through text when posting?

Highlight the text you want to strike through. Then click the "insert" icon in the toolbar at the top, and select "strike-through". The "insert" icon is immediately to the left of the camera icon.

Good luck, @therussellv !

I figure you "older" folks might get a kick out of this.

... am I ever grateful vaping came along and those that came before us to pioneer it. They saved many lives, most likely including mine. How do you repay that?

Mo' v-verts!

Well, got me an interview tomorrow

Yessss...

Me too... l like keyboard shortcuts.

PrtScrn copies the whole desktop to the clipboard
Alt + PrtScrn copies only the current window to the clipboard
"Window key" + R opens the "Run" dialog box
Ctrl + A highlights all text in a text box or document, or whole webpage
Ctrl + C copies all highlighted text to the clipboard
Ctrl + T "cuts" highlighted text and copies to clipboard
and many more.

Often a lot better than reaching for the mouse!

When you have hands and fingers that no longer allow you to touch type....hitting more than one key at the same time becomes significantly more difficult than just using a mouse...

Saw that. Good for Dad, way to parent! What's wrong with that Mom? If the kid needs the phone for emergencies I'd use parental controls to lock down everything except 911 & mom & dad's phones #'s for long enough to cost that kid her last nerve. Phones are a privilage & convenience. Not a right.

Yep! I typed with one finger on my right hand, & all 5 on my left hand for about 8 years before i retired. Typing on the right was slower that on the left. My left hand would take off at normal speed while the right lagged a bit. Resulting in hilarious typos.

What's wrong with her? How bout that stupid woman who's the mom of the "affluenza" kid? Now that's enough to make you want to barf.

I know! Makes me wonder what else he did that she covered over for him. And where was his dad that footed the bills?

I LOVE the alt-tab to jump from one screen to the next.
You can aland "Xso press down the Ctrl key, and use the rollie thing on your mouse to increase/decrease screen size. Love that one too.

Ctrl Esc will bring up the Start panel. Tab key will select the first item on the Start list and the arrow keys will go down the list to whatever you need to execute. Enter key will execute it. Alt and any underlined letter in any commands will execute that command. If your browser opens with a small window, expand the window and hold the Shift key down and "X" out to close it. It will continue to open with the large window until you close it again with the small window showing.

Thanks again for that bb... ever since the forum software change-over, I had just typed {S}strikethrough{/S} -- substituting square brackets for the 'squiggly' ones

Nopers... didn't mind watching that at all - she's good, yet seemingly effortless. Not like ol' Herb waving his horn all around theatrically.

I wanted to play the trumpet in HS band... ended up on the French Horn... oh well - c'est la vie

Good Luck on your plumbing, can't help ya there - but seems like you have some knowlegeable help already.

Not to mention the judge who allowed it...

Me, I'd have said "Oh, too rich to know right from wrong? Maybe you'll learn in jail!"
