  1. Dawg is bringing the big spoon here.

     

    More money per person is spent on health care in the United States than in any other nation in the world,

     

    More broadly, the total number of people in the United States, whether insured or uninsured, who die because of lack of medical care was estimated in a 1997 analysis to be nearly 100,000 per year.[24]

     

     

    [24]A 1997 study carried out by Professors David Himmelstein and Steffie Woolhandler (New England Journal of Medicine 336, no. 11 [1997]) "concluded that almost 100,000 people died in the United States each year because of lack of needed care—three times the number of people who died of AIDs."

  2. 04 Mazda3, 03 Camry and 04 Elantra. All are running perfectly - the only repair in the last 5 years has been one brake job and an O2 sensor on the Camry and some headlights. Crap car. On these three cars we've put about 450k km over these 5 years.

     

    No batteries, ball joints, radiators, alternators, mufflers, transmissions, shocks, starters, modules of any kind. No plugs, cables, brake lines, air conditioners. Even all the power stuff still works.

     

    I know that this proves nothing - it's called 'confirmation bias', but it's been my best 5 years in operating cars. The Subarus also sound like great vehicles.

  3. That's interesting stuff, something I don't pay much attention to. I'm still a Tracll Plus kinda guy, Edge gel, for about 35 years. The idea of dropping a cnote on a razor and badger brush, is a luxury that I should get around to soon. Decadent. So is the

  4. Thanks for the update, Eh? Having to ship your family to a motel and leave the taps running is not a happy prospect until 'later in the week'. Really hope that it works out ok - nice job on the warranty.

     

    Sorta like the story - "What's that funny noise?"

    "It's the sound of your warranty expiring".

  5. I'll be there then too, but just hangin' out on the big lake. Drop in if you see a coupla deepV lunds parked and say Howdy. Likely spots are Eric's island and a couple of north arm north shore spots near Proulx portage.

     

    We did breakfast for an additional dozen last spring when it was too rough for the taxis.

  6. Mr. Eh, my furnace has that blinking light, too, sort of like a morse code with short and long blinks. There is also a look up table sticker on the inside of the access panel that lists the patterns of blinks with descriptions of what those codes mean.

     

    Do you have a similar sticker? What comes up?

     

    As far as jumping or shorting relays and interlocks, I agree with guppy, don't do it. Even so, I came up with my fix one freezing Sunday night, and the service folks said that they could probably come out to see 'sometime on Tuesday'. I called a neighbour who works for the gas company over for a discussion, and he suggested that a false flame prover would cause the code I got, and to try giving it a clean. I now keep a 1/4 in socket driver and a piece of emery cloth beside the furnace.

     

    The only other thing I can suggest is to make sure that your two fans are running properly. The link I posted shows a typical ignition sequence for a furnace similar to yours.

     

    Good Luck, Eh?

  7. I can't find the code list for your Ruud, but every other year or so, my furnace acts up in a similar way to yours. I've learned that there is a flame sensor that looks like a bent piece of welding rod, a couple of inches long, that sits just in front of one of the gas nozzles. I unbolt it from its holder and polish it with a piece of fine sand paper, emery cloth or steel wool. Pop it back in, and then it works.

     

    Give that a try, Mr. Eh. Stay warm, and let me know if that works. I know that it's a panicky feeling when you know that your house will eventually get close to the outside temp without a furnace.

     

    There is also some good info here.

  8. This might be even older. It's the Anguish Languish. Just like Di Tri Berrese, it's best said out loud.

  9. #Chan refers to a cluster of message boards, some of them are populated by slugs who live in their parents' basements well past a reasonable age. These folks are referred to as /b/tards, since the /b/ directs the viewer to a particular subset of these message boards, where some of the most vile stuff is circulated. This is a very LOUD and opinionated and sometimes poorly informed community, not at all like this one.

     

    Rule 34 states that no matter what your *interest* might be, there is a message board for that.

     

    If you want to check it out, change the # sign to numeral 4, and let google be your friend.
