Random Thought Thread

My wife dropped a sponge in the toilet without telling me because she thought I'd be mad, so there I was using a power plunger trying to unclog it without knowing that there was a foreign object occluding it.

You can imagine how well that went.

Not trying to one up you here Elliot, but it's been a good 20 years I still shake my head when I think about this one. My ex wife enjoyed candles when she was taking a bath, came home one time and she tells me the toilet is plugged and the plunger isn't working. Asked if she and any idea what happened, and she 'fessed right up and told me she'd poured candle wax down it thinking it would flush before it hardened. I fought that bitch (the toilet) for an hour thinking I could snake it out and not knowing how much wax there actually was, yeah it was a big candle. Finally said f'it and pulled the toilet out and went outside where I could deal with it properly, well, as properly as you can deal with a situation like that. Trips to the hardware store, new wax ring, new bolts, the whole f'ing mess - and I absolutely hate plumbing.

She was pretty contrite for a while, not a dumb woman but sure did dumb things on occassion.

Damn, now THAT is the worst thing I've ever heard.
 
I need to extend several 8 awg wires that go to my generator. The ac output on the new unit is at the top of the machine instead of the bottom. It is outdoors but under a roof. The wires are in conduit. Does anyone know the best way to achieve this? The wires won’t fit in the same size conduit if they all have wire nuts. But splice? Junction box with wire nuts? Thanks in advance for anyone’s expertise.

I hate to state the obvious here, but you do realize that this has never stopped him before don’t you?

I mean, he just unleashed this gem a couple days ago…

Not that I have any issues with anybody that can distract attention from me on occasion, my normal response when someone asks what’s wrong with me is “how much time ya got?”

And actually timmy, there’s no reason those answers can’t both be right, just sayin’

This might work for you. Use these crimps with heat shrink and splice each wire at a different spot so all the crimps aren't next to each other.

I might not have a perfect understanding of the situation.

Yeah, a junction box is probably good.
