Plumbers here are up to $95/hr...you can do it yourself if you take your time, and have another dumpster in the house to use.

American Standard's new model

I'm installing these in our house.

[Conservababe]

Mo, just call Roto Rooter. They specialize in cleaning out any drains. They are not plumbers so their charges are way below plumbers.

Machine is up and running, BIOS swapped out.
Yes, the 'hot swap' part with the machine powered up and at a command prompt.
I didn't get zapped, and the machine didn't melt down, so I'm happy!

How did Mischelle Hileman survive a weeklong ordeal in the Oregon wilderness, stranded in subzero temperatures without a winter coat or matches to start a fire?

She says two angels stayed with her each night, emanating warmth and light.

Hileman, 40, found herself in the canyon near Wallowa, Ore., following an elk-hunting accident a year ago. She recently revisited the area, now on artificial legs. Her frostbitten legs were amputated below the knees.

"I think we witnessed a true miracle," Wallowa County Sheriff Fred Steen told the Oregonian.

Nighttime temperatures dropped to at least 4 below zero in Alder Creek Canyon where Hileman lay injured for more than a week.

Hileman agrees her survival was miraculous. The former home health worker says that during her struggle to survive, two angels appeared and remained with her, radiating warmth and keeping her from dying of hypothermia.

"The best way to describe it was two golden bright lights, just in the shape of two people," she told the Oregonian. They appeared on the second night after she began to pray for help, they never spoke and disappeared at daylight, but they were with her every night until she was rescued, she said.

Hileman's ordeal began on a sunny 55-degree Sunday morning on Oct. 27, 2002, when her father, Benny Hileman, 62, pulled his pickup off a logging road 12 miles northeast of Wallowa to let her out. It was elk season, and Mischelle planned to hunt on foot for 45 minutes, then rendezvous with her father.

But, instead, Mischelle followed three elk into Alder Creek Canyon, where she fell. Suffering from a deep puncture wound to her left leg, she was unable to make it out of the canyon.

Within hours, a winter storm moved in.

More than 100 volunteers, friends and family members turned out to search for her. Most quickly became convinced that Hileman, who suffers from diabetes and asthma, had little chance of survival. The search was scaled back Oct. 31, but many refused to quit, and 27 people turned out the next day, spreading across the forest on horses and ATVs. She was finally found Nov. 3.

Trying to catchup now.
*chuckle*
I miss a whole bunch of stuff when I'm offline, don't I?

[lodwick]

Great news, Pro.

[Darksheare]

Well, typo infections are hopeless, one learns to deal with them.
Or read around them.
It's somewhat hysterical when I toss on eof my short stories out there, and all words that start with 'th' end up as 'teh', like 'tehre' and 'tehy'.
*chuckle*
A.ways nice to have new people come in.
This being my home thread, bringing new people in helps to add to the thread population.
Makes things more, er.. interesting.

[Darksheare]

Or insane short story writers who may or may not actually have come through a dimensional breach?

[Darksheare]

Not my fault!
She asked for it, practically begged me to!
/ joke.

[Darksheare]

Ugh.
Good luck westy.
Looks like some of the fun roads that the park service claims are roads.
(More like unpaved and unmaintained goat paths that one is supposed to be able to drive down to reach picnic areas and boat launches.)

[Darksheare]

That's pretty serious westy.
Will wait to hear from you.

[Darksheare]

What if I'm under the bad...
*evil laugh*

[lodwick]

We had a pleasant time yesterday while Garn was playing wooly - wooly over cocktails and seafood, I'm guessing.

[Darksheare]

Can't play the sax, and I'm not cute.
(More on the short dark and scary side myself..)

But I could have use for a maid myself.
Seriously, it'd be fun to chase someone around for hours on end especially if they're in the uniform.
*chuckle*

No, I don't get out uch these days.

[Darksheare]

Yup, and it worked even better than hoped.
Though some are disappointed that I did not light up like alightbulb..

[Darksheare]

I always miss out on the good stuff!!

[null and void]

No salt water shower? Where was sis?!?!

[Darksheare]

Falling down on the job.
She was supposed to make sure I lit up like achristmas tree.
