Madison WI Area Meet & Greets / Gatherings

Great spot! We'll be here another hour or two if any stragglers wanna join.

I will still be at work sadly. My court date today put me a little behind.

Yep, awesome spot for a meet and greet.

Yeah, great spot and nice seeing everybody!

And Spillage rockin' the Waunabees shirt. I need to get out more often. Todd, call/text me next time there's a get-together.

If anyone's interested, there will be a police motorcycle skills competition tomorrow (Saturday) morning at around 9am. It will be held in a parking lot between Badger Harley-Davidson and the casino.

I watched some of it today, and it was pretty impressive. Here's an example of a similar competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9MVY8swO5M

I keep forgetting to put this up here. The "car" club that I'm apart of gets together at the east side glass nickel every Wednesday at around 730 800 goes till people are gone or move to the next bar. Everyone is welcome. We are usally at the big table.

Our water heater just died. Does anyone know a Madison area plumber that they would recommend? Is it something that I should just read up on and try to replace myself?

I think Lobster just replaced his recently. He'll know what not to do. Shoot him a message.

Gopher it. I did mine two or so years ago.

You'll be able to get sweet tools like blowtorches and pipe cutters!

If it is gas, leave it to the pro's. Electric is a piece of cake. If you don't want to mess with with torches and sweating pipes hit up the SharkBite connectors. Pipe cutting tool is all you will need.

But don't forget to turn off the water supply and electricity.

I finally broke thru the extractor. Now using a grinder and rat tail file because the hole is off center on the bolt. Such tedious work. Dead water heater is almost a welcome distraction.

It's actually pretty darn easy. I did mine at home (electric) and at ma's house (gas). Sweating pipes is easy enough, just make sure it's clean, clean, clean.

Bonebags got a PEX crimper. I think boomer does too.

I added a couple extra shut offs so I didn't have to drain the entire system next time.

I can run down Saturday morning and give you pointers or help out if need be, just gimme a shout.

I just did one last year, and the worst part was getting the old one out of the basement. 80 gal. half full of sediment.

I've got tools for PEX and copper, and am on the west side/Middleton daily.

As far as a plumber, Arlington Hardware.

Timmy, just call a M&G at yer place Saturday and we'll have it done in an hour

do you know does WI require or register dirt bikes ( yamaha pw80) 2002?

Thanks.
Chad
