Huh? whadda you know?

Tim surely you're not using this to suggest that global
warming isn't
happening, are you?

I dunno. I'd always thought that glaciers and giant ice
shelves were
melting away because the earth was getting warmer, then
you
hear about
a massive chunk of ice forming and....

I know we had a decent frost last night, but it's
November,
we're
supposed to have a decent frost last night.

I assume you like somewhere in the middle of the country
and
are
completely unaware of the weird weather most of the country
has
been
expeiencing the past year.

Are you aware of the spike in tornados?

So far weather has been changing for 4.5 billion years and
this
year was
mild by comparison. And the predictions from the sane say
the
same
thing is in store for the next 4.5 billion years.

Are you saying the ending of the ice age was caused by man?
Oh,
the shame of it all.

He probably is, but I don't know anybody else that is sane or
without
a monetary interest saying that global warming is CAUSED by
man.

OTOH, I think there are a lot of reasons to believe that man
CONTRIBUTES to global warming.

But how much, and to what end... The world has been hotter and
colder
than now, it has changed faster than it is changing now, and it
will
probably stay in the long run, pretty similar to what it is
now...

The world has a great climate control system in the whole
spinning
thing. Too much heat will make for more hurricaines which
take a
tremendous amount of heat energy and spin it out to the poles
where it
can dissipate. If the world gets warmer, more hurricnes, if the
world
gets colder, less hurricanes, pretty simple really. I think the
world
has things under control and it is doing what it does, just
fine.
More
hurricanes means something maybe us, maybe the sun, maybe both
are
doing
what they do to the earth. The earth will respond and balance
things out
like it's been doing for 4 billion years...

The concern is a potential for a tipping point. The
ramifications of
that are truly scary.

Besides, a lot of the green applications save money and
resources. I
actually like to save money, so I don't see the problem.

Show me one...


Your current struggles with your boiler. Somebody with a technical
education of about the 10th grade or higher could easily answer
your
question.

Go for it Dearie. Answer his question.

I don't pay attention to the Harry/Plum clone... she doesn't have
any
answers anyway.


Her answers were better than your questions.

Yeah, you would say that. You think a non-answer insult is an
"answer"!?
LOL!


I think your "comments" on global warming and many other issues either
are or border on idiotic. As to your home heating problem, I have no
comment beyond saying I'd call in someone who knows about these systems
intimately rather than depend upon conflicting advice from a newsgroup.
When I was getting specs and bids for the new genny system here, the
best advice on placing the generator came from the field technician (a
licensed plumber) from the company from which we buy our LP gas, and
the
consultation didn't cost me a dime. His advice resulted in a cost
savings of nearly $2000.



I am just trying to tweak my system.. Once I understand the principal, I
will be able to the same way I diagnosed cars.. You will never
understand Harry, you obviously should stick to paying others to do your
work for you...



As I posted, I got quality technical advice and not only didn't it cost
me anything, it saved me a couple of bucks. Your local fuel supplier
should be able to help you out without charge.

I don't have the diagnostic instruments or specialized tools necessary
to determine what is wrong with today's large engines, nor do I have the
specialized knowledge. I do keep my old technology lawn mower, lawn
tractor, chain saw and string trimmer running properly.


That's the difference. I have experience with engines, plumbing,
electrical, etc, etc.... I do a lot of work myself. I do the research
first so I understand the system, then I go fix it. My middle daughter
did all of the fiberglass work on the first boat I ever built, my 17
year old just did the top end, valves, timing chain, piston, rings,
surclip, shims (using the micrometer) and rebuilt her own race engine.
It has been a one kick motor for almost 30 engine hours since then...

I have the tools, I have the internet. I asked here to get pointed in
the right direction, you have nothing to add, so go to ****ing hell and
keep hiding in your basement with nothing but unclever one liners and
your delusions of grandeur...



The difference is that you are interested in doing that sort of work. I
am not. I can and do handle the small two and four cycle gasoline
engines I have. I have the carpentry skills to build a nice deck or
install a new exterior door, and I can build a patio. I don't do serious
electrical or plumbing work.



How is your wife gonna' do changing the oil on
that new generator, or pulling a leaf out of the intake if you are down,
sick, or the best possibility, dead? Yeah, didn't think so....


My wife is very smart. She'll either figure it out or call someone who
can. Since she is gainfully employed with strong employment prospects
about anywhere she wants to work, all she will have to do is write a check.
