Ya hafta tell some people everything. But that results in long posts.

Now I have admitted to tinsel terrorism on another thread, is that not enough ? Tim was one of my favorites, AR AR AR. Hold on,,,, is he dead yet ?

Hell, other than just sitting here I might as well go ahead and let it out. The tinsel terrorist was when I was 7, by the time I was 11, if insurance companies would've known about me, there would be no insurance in the world.

I had my little room in the basement. Not my bedroom, but the place had a room in the basement which I quickly declared mine and called it mine. Inside I had some fun with transformers. Learned alot, for example if you put 120V into the primary and the secondary puts out 700V, and you feed it to another transformer just like it you get 2.5 Kv with some current behind it. Enough to burn through paper, skin, quite a few other things. Electrocution was imminent for the whole time. I got my hands on some styrofoam and a couple of coat hangers and my "room" had that thing on the very old scifi movies that went ZZZZZZZZZZZAP ZZZZZZZZZZZZAP ZZZZZZ, and so on. The arc climbed from the bottom to the top, just like in the movies. The arc was quite effective at burning through a few other things (like plywood). These were big transformers.

I soldered the wires of the two transformers together. I didn't want the wires to catch on fire. Much better the fire be inside the transformers, or in the electrical box. Now if you were an actuary...............................

Now back to brass (or enriched uranium if you prefer) tacks. How do I get this burner working ? I know I will kill the entire planet and burn in hell for some reason, but I still want to do it.

Far as I know, he's still on the outside looking in. Speaking of which, a kinsman is working on extracting some aspirin from a South American cactus. I could do it for him, but he's there, and I'm here, and the twain ain't gonna meet anytime soon. Maybe next year, but not now.

He lives in the DC area, and he had bought the finest steaks I'd ever had, until I found Schaubs. But he's one of these hardasses, did 2 tours in Nam, had 400 guys under him in Engineers (NOT a REMF, like most of the fucks who vote Palin these days). He KNOWS the steaks he buys are best. I've given up arguing with him, and am satisfied with taking him in 5-10-25 poker.

There are a lot of internot assholes who like to play superbad, but in reality couldn't hold a weapon without peeing themselves. I'm not superbad. I haven't done any really bad shit in my life. I could talk all kinds of shit, like the cuckys and others do, but fact of the matter is, It would just be talk.

He's done it. He's actually been to war. He's actually killed people. When he tells me that the rush one gets from killing your enemy comes from getting past the adrenaline shit and realizing that I won! He lost! I'm ALIVE!!!, I know he's been there. I have a DD214, but I've never been in a firefight. Neither have most of the stupid pricks who swagger around internot forums like this proudly proclaiming that they've been to 40 countries (well, fuck-a-doodle-doo: I've been to even more countries than my passport says, switching fucking planes. Yeah, technically, I've been to Minnesota, but I only switched planes. Big fucking deal.)

Anyway, this is WAAAAY off track.

The maker of your unit might have all the tek specs online. If not, there's probably an appliance dealer who can give you the specs for flow rates, max temps, clearances, and so on.
