OT Speaking of Earthquakes, is Oregon Asleep at the Wheel?

well, that's getting closer to the way Tyrion Lannister said he wanted to die..."at 80"...."in his bed"....I think the next part may have involved a woman

I'd sure rather expire like Tyrion than to be crushed by my falling roof or swallowed by a river of lava.

 

surf's up! I got this! I might have to look into a thermal tap though...save a ton of firewood...if my spring fed creek turns into a hot springs I'll charge and start a health resort for Portland business dudes in suits! S2 discount applies! Life coaching is extra though...that's my bread and butter

 

One of them youth filled sap's for old codgers! Remember sex at least 5 times a week adds 10 years to ones life!

 

I just sat through earthquake. Was a nice young chap. I’m sure I’ll see him soon.

 

I can't afford that on my budget

 

Look at the Oregon State Giant Killers football team. They had a player, Earthquake Enyart.
Also, there was a night club in Beaverton, Oregon, now long closed, called Earthquake Ethyl's.
Did these entities cause tsunamis? They did indeed invoke a tidal wave of emotion. How high? So high that I was left feeling ecstatic.

 

Oregon is not Asleep at the Wheel...they're in Texas

 

Ha!
You wish it were budget shortfall!

 

I went to many of those games. One especially was sweet to watch, OSU USC. The Beav just kept at it, handing that ball to Bill Enyart, for 2 to 6 yards a play.
Then stuff OJ Simpson every time they handed it to him. Beavs won 3 to nothing.
Ha! As a football game it was pretty boring I suppose, but it was sweet to see OJ stuffed over and over. Can't remember if he finished in positive yards or not.

 

force of habit...

 

Man, I installed one of those ductless Heatpumps last summer. I have to say, those are marvelous! I put it in because I got tired of splitting wood to keep my wife warm when I am doing my boat stuff. Damn nice when I am there too!
Only need a fire during the real cold times. Had been using about 2.5 cords of wood a year, now we use maybe 1/4 cord.
I asked the wife how her electric bill was with the heat pump?
About the same.
What? That can't be!

I don't know what's up with that good new.

 

About 1977 I think, I built a big house up on the hillside above Lake Anderson in CA. About 4000 square feet or so and the main problem was, there was not a Natural Gas line to that area. Electric power and sewer but no NG. Well hell, I will install a heat pump!!!
All looked good when it was damn near done, but I did notice the very long duct work running from one end of the house to the far end where the Kitchen was with side runs off the mainline. It crossed my mind, that is a hell of a lot of sheet metal!!!
The house was done, and winter came. Shit, I had to get a delivery of wood for the fire place! The heat pump did not even come close to the task at hand. Then I got the first bill for cold weather, $600+! That damn heat pump had a series of electrical heating
coils, Three 2400 watt coils in the out flow to the duct work. It was 78' to the Kitchen's most distant heat vent, which always blew cold air.

Fuck! What I fool I have been. Who designed this shit???

Sold that sucker and went Sailing for about a year and half.

Then I built another, designed it myself this time. Two stories on a hillside. Gas furnace, but I put it right in entryway from the garage into the house so that all the duct work would be under the floor of the upper street level entry floor.
Hell, never had open the an upper level vents, just natural convection from the duct work did the task, while blowing a little heat to the lower level.

Now the ductless heat pump caught my attention like a jerk on my tether. Pulled me right there. The pump is outside, the condenser/heater is inside. Nothing lost in between!!! That is good engineering. Check them out.
Splits is another term they use for the same thing.

 

We have ductless heating / airconditioning. It's great.

 

Who would have thought that this thread would be taken over by science deniers. Shit is going to happen during our lifetimes, so best prepare.

 

Man! Why wait a lifetime to get the benefits of a ductless heatpump? Surprised @riverman likes the idea! I figured him for do it now.

 

I wonder who's lifetime we are talking about here? Waiting on those free Agents gets a little old.
