The Obamas’ film, which largely profiles a factory in Ohio, has been described as “anti-Trump” in a review published in POLITICO. Of course they used a GoFundMe campaign. Socialists can only use other people's money. Until it runs out. Three Chicago teachers and a union organizer used a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a trip to Venezuela. The teachers, all members of the Chicago Teachers Union, wrote public blogs and social media posts casting the socialist government of the country in a favorable light. The Chicago Tribune reported Monday that the educators have been criticized for their trip and praise of Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro. The Chicago Teachers Union also distanced itself from those who went on the trip, putting out a statement that it was not an official union trip and was not funded by the union. “Members go all kinds of places in the summer. This was neither an official trip nor something that was funded by the union,” CTU president Jesse Sharkey told WTTW’s “Chicago Tonight.” “This is a group of people who are members of the CTU who decided to go to Venezuela.”Frightening they are anywhere near children.
Vaping linked health issues in 14 states reported. In one Wisconsin case, a 26-year-old man with asthma ended up in an intensive care unit in July with difficulty breathing after vaping THC oil he bought on the street, NPR reported. (THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol is the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.) The man’s blood-oxygen levels dropped to just 10% and he was placed in medically induced coma. Now out of the hospital, he told NPR that he suspects his illness was linked to the THC oil. "The oil in the cartridge was really watered down. And it was pee-colored, it wasn't supposed to be that color, it's supposed to be dark amber," he said. He cautioned other people who vape THC: "If you are going to smoke, just stick to the dispensaries. Don't buy stuff off the street where you don't know where it's coming from." If you buy THC oil in WI, you truly are an idiot. There is no legal marijuana in the state. Bernie Sanders. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants to put an end to police use of facial recognition software. Sanders called for the ban as part of a criminal justice reform plan introduced today ahead of a two-day tour of South Carolina. The plan also calls for the ban of for-profit prisons and would revoke the practice of law enforcement agencies benefiting from civil asset forfeitures. Does the internet play too large a part of our lives? This is what would happen if the internet shut down suddenly. In the event of a global internet shutdown… …autonomous vehicles freeze in place almost instantly. On highways, automatic tolls no longer allow any vehicle to go through them, creating massive traffic jams. …on the streets, myriad passersby look at their empty-shell communicative devices, while bearing witness to several crashes of postal or other delivery drones. …fully-automated sellers and cashiers, now disconnected, lead to the expeditious shutdown of supermarkets and hypermarkets which exclusively rely on them. In any case, a cashless, electronic currency-based society wouldn’t now know how to pay for things. …vast regions are deprived of electricity, as providers are no longer able to receive correctly information from their sensors on the power grid and at individuals’ homes, and are no longer able to properly manage the supply of many areas. …almost all the worldwide industrial production stalls. Financial centers have immediately suspended all their operations, canceling, in passing, all orders currently being processed. And so on… A President Marianne Williamson would be a hoot, if she weren't so dangerous. She called the elite U.S. war machine “obsolete” and that “we can no longer rely on force to rid ourselves of international enemies.” “The planet has become too small for that, and in so doing, we overburden our military by asking them to compensate for the other work that we choose not to do, and we are less effective, and less secure, because of our choices,” said Ms. Williamson, author of several best-selling inspirational books. Earlier, Ms. Williamson floated plans for a new Department of Children and Youth that would focus on protecting and uplifting the country’s children.There are "Americans" who hate with enough of it to kill other Americans.

Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at August 20, 2019 10:10 PM (EcqY2) 28
Was the Obama / anti-Trump movie ever supposed to actually make any money, or is it just another propaganda tool, like corporate owned and losing 75% of their market CNN has become? Because we all know that corporations do not lose money or after a while they go out of business. Since CNN is such a loser with ratings, the payoff is being measured by their owners in something other than just money. So has Netflix.

This would actually not be the case for most of the area my utility covers. We could man the substations and use radios to coordinate with the operations center. It would be difficult and expensive - since the people at the subs would be making IBEW overtime - but it's possible. Tracing and repairing outages would be rough.

Thin Lizzy. I played the shit out their Live and Dangerous album. I still have it on LP, actually. Still sounds great, no skips, minimal popping. Too many live albums suck, but there are some that are better than the studio recordings. this is one of them.

Bears in Yellowstone - when I was a kid and my parents took me there, it was when they still allowed all the bears to line up on the side of the road and beg for food. It looked cool, but it was a shameful and dangerous thing to allow, which is why they'd made a big effort to ban that.
My wife's family has a picture that we just call "The Hand", it's of her when she's about 5. Her family was at Yellowstone, and her 11 year old sister had a brownie camera, and had her little sister pose and smile about 10' in front of a bear that had wandered into the campsite. Coming down from the top of the scene is a very blurred image of a hand coming down, very fast, to yank that girl out of there. One of the parents had just noticed what was going on.

My wife likes it warm - I have to beg her to let me turn it down to 78, and we live in East Texas. On the other hand, you get used to it - never wear anything but shorts and a t-shirt inside, and have some fans around. Got it set at 79 right now, and I'm ok.

Losing the internet? Sheesh. Come live in my nightmares.
The lack of preparedness for the waiting 9.0 earthquake of the west coast, Vancouver Is, BC south to Point Mendicino in CA is incredible. The tsunami will be ferocious. No electricity, airports, highways or bridges. I live east of the mountains and I'll see severe shaking here. Infrastructure destroyed. No food, water or fuel in the worst hit areas. I watched a state senate hearing yesterday and these dolts were clueless. Add in that the governor of Oregon bewailed the passage of a measure that she signed, which allows for more construction of all kinds along the coast in tsunami zones. I'm ranting, I know. Sorry. I have friends on the westside and I fear for them. Posted by: Winston a dreg of society at August 20, 2019 10:21 PM (yOcNV) 88

1950, he's an Air Force private in uniform, might weigh 130 lbs. He wanted a picture of himself feeding a trout to a bear but the bear wasn't having it. He tucked a Hershey bar behind the trout and the bear went up for it and Dad go the pic. Posted by: Bandersnatch at August 20, 2019 10:22 PM (fuK7c) 90

If you encounter a grizzly, do not run. Avoid direct eye contact. Walk away slowly, if the bear is not approaching. If the bear charges, stand your ground (you can not outrun it). Don't scream or yell. If you have pepper spray, prepare to use it. Holy crap. "Do the opposite of everything you're instinctively doing right now!"

He chased him up a tree, and kept him up there for about 30 hours. The bear took off to hunt something down, and dragged it back and ate it at the bottom of the tree, all the time looking at my uncle's friend. Finally, as he had been missing for a long time, Indian guides came out to look for him, with rifles. Well they shot and killed the bear, so my uncle's friend could get down. Is this a true story?

158 Remind the bear that your kayak isn't even food.
Posted by: hogmartin Missing here is - SHOOT HIM. Posted by: Boswell The late friend of my late uncle, wanted to go bear hunting in Alaska, with a bow and arrow. He got the permit and was allowed to take a bear. So he goes out, and finds a bear, and shoots it with his compound hunting bow. Boy was that bear mad. He chased him up a tree, and kept him up there for about 30 hours. The bear took off to hunt something down, and dragged it back and ate it at the bottom of the tree, all the time looking at my uncle's friend. Finally, as he had been missing for a long time, Indian guides came out to look for him, with rifles. Well they shot and killed the bear, so my uncle's friend could get down. Is this a true story? Posted by: Bozo Conservative....outlaw in America at August 20, 2019 10:38 PM (S6Pax) I'm pretty sure bowhunting for bears would be considered an act of attempted suicide by the authorities.

"The teachers, all members of the Chicago Teachers Union, wrote public blogs and social media posts casting the socialist government of the country in a favorable light."
Chicago public school teachers are out-and-proud communists. It's no secret. Chicago is a magnet for commie laborites. I lived there, a half-block from the office of the IWW. Daily Worker was peddled on street corners. Bernardine Dohrn grew up two blocks over from where I did. My teenage years were "The Days of Rage" of the leftists. Bombings were common, though usually attributed to Puerto-Rican independence groups. One bombing occurred on Sheffield Ave, two blocks north of Wrigley Field, my usual walking route to the L station. I walked by a movie theater vestibule one morning, noticed a crater in the concrete. Looked across the street: all the windows in the three-story apartment building had been shattered by the focused blast. Posted by: gp at August 20, 2019 10:42 PM (mk9aG) 182

When I look at my nieces and nephews and their spouses who advocate for the socialistic democratic party, there is a definite pattern of behavior.
1. Get a degree in something stupid that doesn't lead to a decent job, or get no degree at all. 2. Get a job that a monkey could do. 3. Get a new car every few years. 4. Instead of budgeting and being frugal, spend money on vacations, restaurant meals, and movie going. 5. Buy a bunch of crap you don't need. 6. Bitch because the rich don't pay enough in taxes.

Have no desire to see bears in the wild, and I've done plenty of camping in their habits. About 5 years ago one young bear was roaming in my area, and crowds were flocking to try and see it. He disappeared eventually. No one know's where.
Anyway, the most pathetic zoo I've ever seen was at Uber Gatlinburg 10 yrs ago. I think there were 4 bears there in a concrete pit like an empty inground pool. No habitat. Nothing. Just a bunch of bears in a concrete pit. The write ups there seemed to be proud, and maybe they did other things to take care of them, but when I was there it was disgusting.

The Inupiat Eskimos, while technically Inuit, don't call themselves that. The Yupik Eskimos are a separate group with a different, though related, language (think French versus Italian).

If a hit song was/is by a Canadian artist and you think it's overplayed here in the States, it's being way overplayed in Canada because of CanCon rules for radio (Canadian Content). So, for example, if you thought "My Heart Will Go On" was everywhere on the radio, up in Canuckistan there were radio stations playing it once an hour.
I remember "Life is a Highway" being driven into the ground more than a year after it first was a hit. Posted by: Vendette at August 20, 2019 10:58 PM (tX5RF) 265

One might say Bohemian Rhapsody. I like the song, but dear lord was that played a lot. I assume when it first released it got the tar played out of it, and then when Wayne's World came out, it has new life pumped into it. Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at August 20, 2019 10:59 PM (gmtFW) 267

Now that I have reflected upon it for a few minutes, I remember I was usually the drunkest person in the venue, yet I still despised the song.

I have seven sibs - on a sweltering miserable July day during a vacation somewhere in the mid 60s, all ten of us were packed into a Ford Station Wagon with no A/C doing a drive through tour of some wild animal park. All was going well until my Dad stopped the car to allow a buffalo to get closer. My Mom was crabbing about it but Dad put her off. The buffalo walked up to the car, put it's head down and pushed us sideways a few feet. There was pandemonium and much screaming.
Until the day my Dad passed away, my Mom would comment on any idiotic idea popped into my Dad's head by saying "Jerry, remember the Buffalo." Posted by: Tonypete at August 20, 2019 11:03 PM (Y4EXg) 295

Missed earlier gub thread. Quick scan did not reveal anyone pointing out that states already have widely varying laws on transfers/background checks, and that most of the national population therefore already faces checks for all gun transfers, commercial or private. Thus, a half-moot, or more, issue.
"Red flag" is a much worse thing. Trump made dumb noises about this earlier*. Again, already much of this wildly unconstitutional crap at state level [why has this not been challenged in court?]. That's really the live issue at the moment. * yes, I understand it's clever to make insincere noises about action you'll never take in the end, especially when 1] literally not a soul in your very large base has any interest in the action 2] there is absolutely zero wider political demand for such action, or talk, and 3] there is significant hazard to the stupid action in question, and what is really called for is a frontal assault of facts and common sense to delegitimize the very concept, so as to hasten its marginalization - it's just that it's not remotely clever, or needed, and of course wouldn't be considered on any other issue with similar substance and politix Posted by: rhomboid at August 20, 2019 11:27 PM (QDnY+) 381

One of my boomer buddies thinks Janis Joplin is the epitome of musical perfection. He says "Before she went on stage, she'd always down a quart of whiskey." To him, this is high praise of art.

So, the Islanders . . . they're named after the fact that they play their home games on an island. So do the Canadiens, Rangers and Canucks.
(Racists.) Posted by: FireHorse at August 20, 2019 10:12 PM (jh17W) Don't think the Canucks play their home games on an island. Downtown Vancouver is basically a peninsula. Vancouver Harbour on the north side, English Bay on the west, and False Creek on the south. False Creek would be described as a "bayou" by our friends in Louisiana. But there is a not-so-narrow neck of land between the head of False Creek and Vancouver Harbour. IIRC, the hockey arena is near Seymour Street and the Georgia Viaduct.

A truck driver who threatened to "shoot up" a church in Memphis and said he was haunted by "spiritual snakes and spiders" people put in his bed was arrested in Indiana, less than a week before the day of the planned attacks, authorities said in newly filed court records. Thomas Matthew McVicker was arrested in Indianapolis on Friday by Indiana State Police troopers and FBI agents.

"When you're sleeping, Energy Star said to set the thermostat at 82 degrees."
I personally think folks should work to live in temperatures closer to ambient. It saves you money and it means when the SHTF you're better adapted. But, I doubt most homes nowadays could even be comfortable at 80ish, given how little the a/c would run (a lot of places, but definitely not all) and the humidity would climb and a lot of things would have problems. And one of the big ones would be electronics. If you want to up the inside temperature by ~15F, you're going to have issues no matter what the specs say.

Brent Smith, of Shinedown. And if you'll go back and listen to some of Gary Puckett and the Union Gap from the '60s, you'll hear a great many similarities. If you want to see how good Brent really is, go on a You Tube journey and give a watch to his songs as sang in a friend's house over some holidays. One guitar, one voice, KILLER results.

Rush devoted almost his entire show yesterday on the leaked NYT plan to rewrite American history. He claimed that offering counter-arguments would legitimize the idiotic position in the first instance. I've been arguing that for years on virtually every lefty claim based on lies - why are you (Rush, Hannity, Prager, et al) giving credence to the lie by arguing a counter point? Too often the right does that to itself - whereas the left just screeches "lie lie lie...." at the outset. This is what sustains the left as a viable party - the many useful idiots on the right, many of whom were outed in the nevertrump bowel movement.

The band that got crushed by the Grunge music era was probably Tesla. Got unfairly labeled "Hair Band". I thought they were pretty unique in there era. Great band.
Posted by: Puddleglum at August 21, 2019 12:06 AM (pY+s4) I love Tesla. Good band. kind of Aerosmith-y. Ran across a band from the Portland area, a band I actually met in Montana, in 1992-ish, was Love on Ice. They were good guys, and they seemed more edgy, more like Alice in Chains than Pearl Drops. Also got an Aerosmith vibe. I have Nude, which was the album they were promoting at the time. Damn good music. kind of sucks that they never got noticed by whatever fuck-nozzles make those kind of decisions. Posted by: Pug Mahon, Not Actually Irish at August 21, 2019 12:13 AM (P4R16) 536

I just had some of Miley's zucchini casserole. She added some of our squash, which included some trans-squash.
What is trans-squash, you ask? Well, one of my squash plants must've gotten its chromosomes screwed up, because it's putting on these sort of greenish things. It's squash that identifies as zucchini. It was good, though.

Back before I stopped listening to the same sh!t over and over, I liked Green Day. Yes, they are progressive political f*ckheads! But they had a lot of songs I liked. They were really good at capturing teen male anomie. Very f*cking tight performers. Their first couple albums had great punk covers.
I saw them at the Riviera in Chicago on the Nimrod tour. I was the oldest person in the audience. I still can't believe how tight they were: microsecond precision at whirlwind tempo. Unbelievable stamina. They had a bunch of fun with the audience, brought a random kid up on stage to play guitar on one song, who did great. Then they made him stage dive into the audience. Armstrong had everybody throw their shirts up to the stage, and he put all of them on, bulging like the Michelin Man. Dirnt had about ten new Fenders in the shipping cartons, wrecked them all at the end. They got married, had kids, and were still able to keep up their breakneck performance ability. Now I never listen to the same track of music twice. Always seeking new stuff, never relistening to old stuff. Don't know what they're doing now. Wouldn't mind meeting them someday.

Well, put one in the "win" column today. My long-going struggle with the Suburban transmission rebuild was finally rewarded with success. Got the fluids in the transfer case and transmission. Since it was on the hoist already, I replaced some bad rubber bushings on one of the rear shock absorbers. Got it down, and hooked up the battery. Ignition was on already. Strange, that. Started it up, and it moved in reverse OK. Backed it off the hoist, topped off the tranny, and went for a drive. One, two, three, four, all the gears were there, and the shifts silken smooth, too.
Got home, and engine would not shut off. WTF? Pulled out fuel pump relay, engine stopped. Disconnected battery. Found I had Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and no more. Took covers off steering column. Nothing wrong there. Crawled under the vehicle, unbolted the shift lever from the manual valve shaft, flipped it over, and bolted it back on. That fixed it! Now I have all gear selector positions, and the ignition switch goes to "off" and the key comes out. While I had the dash apart, I stripped out the wretched remote-start gadget, and mended the spliced wires. And then I replaced the grille and the composite headlamps with less-damaged ones from my dead '96 Diesel Suburban. Another road test, everything works! Woo-hoo!

Berserker, i watched a show about Jimi, very interesting guy. would you put him in the innovator category? it showed his woodstock national anthem, would that be easy to recreate for a good player? i would think it would be fun to play that. Posted by: choogle at August 21, 2019 12:51 AM (odl3m) In the standards of those days I guess he was pretty innovative. Like everything else each generation builds on the one before it, so to duplicate what he did back then today would not be hard, especially after the shred player era.

choogle: i think it was his playing. all of the guitarists - clapton, page, beck - recount going to hendrix' first club shows and being blown away.
in an interview, beck said his girlfriend dragged him to a club to hear hendrix ("you've got to see this guy"), then he went home and put his guitars in their cases and said he was done. beck said one of his greatest moments was when hendrix later asked him how he did some riff.

“Many of the most serious diseases today are a function of aging. Thus, identifying the molecular mechanisms and treatments of aging should be an urgent priority. Unless we address aging at its root cause, we’re not going to continue our linear, upward progress toward longer and longer life spans.” David Sinclair, a geneticist at Harvard Medical School
Several years ago an article in Forbes on a study of longevity. It focused on those who lived extraordinarily long lives and they discovered it was DNA. It wasn't their diet, (ate and drank what they wanted) or their life style (smokers); It was that these things did not damage their DNA so they stayed healthy and lived to a very happy old, old age. Poor health is directly related to our fragile DNA and until they figure out how to fix that the golden mean is our best rule and follow you doctors orders.

Fire an entire Kaytusha Battery of Qassams into the thing, and fuck numbering the rocks. Just ship them all to Iran, and tell them to get busy with the rebuilding. The political/social/religious confusion that would cause with the Mullah's would be one of the most highly amusing things to see there since Khomeni toppled out of his accursed casket.

But as was her wont, it sat idle, along with her keyboard, sewing machine and so many other interests of momentary passions. But she told me how much she wanted to learn to play an instrument, and that Strumstick seemed to her the anwer to her dreams. It's just that her dreams lacked learning, practice and dedication. I've avoided that trap, and have mastered the AM/FM, CD, Cassette, Reel to Reel, LP and have even dabbled with the all but forgotten 8 Track. I still havent' mastered the MP-3 though.

Okay, I'm sure this has probably been discussed somewhere on the blog before, and I'll save a full review for the Movie Thread (and actually try to post it there), but...
If you have a chance to see The Art Of Racing In The Rain, do it. Plot summary: dog narrates the life of a family. It is literally the kind of movie where forty-plus-year-old guys are at each other with "were you crying when..." If you're not crying half the time and laughing half the time you're not human. It's a very tight film, someone could have done a three-hour picture out of this but it isn't one of those and it's better for it. You could quibble that flattens the character development of some minor characters like the team manager but...they're minor characters. This film never drags. The bunch I saw it with more or less agreed that it's the best film Kevin Costner's ever done. If you love him, you'll love it. If you hate him, you'll love it.

But she told me how much she wanted to learn to play an instrument, and that Strumstick seemed to her the anwer to her dreams.
It's just that her dreams lacked learning, practice and dedication. I've avoided that trap, and have mastered the AM/FM, CD, Cassette, Reel to Reel, LP and have even dabbled with the all but forgotten 8 Track. I still havent' mastered the MP-3 though. I don't know how to develop the film. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at August 21, 2019 01:32 AM (QzJWU) Dedication is key. Anybody can play an instrument if they have the dedication. Another major thing is if you have an ear for music or not. If you don't its a real uphill battle. If you can tell when something don't sound right, then you probably can tell when something is right, and if you can do that then its just time and effort. The thing I see a lot when it comes to people learning guitar is they quit right on the cusp of payoff. You have to gauge progress in months, not days. For the average beginner you have to get over the 6 month hump, because thats where things start to fall in place. If you're a prodigy thats one thing, but the average person has to get past the 6 month point, and maybe up to a year before all kinds of good things start to happen. Finger strength, muscle memory, etc all start to kick in down the road, not in 2 weeks. I see many quit too early. I taught a women in her 40's that I know how to play over the internet who never touched a guitar in her life. She had one in the closet she got for her daughter. In 2 months she was sight reading classical tabs and learning classical guitar songs on her own. Frigging classical, and not easy songs either. She was determined, she played about 2 hours a day, and she did really good. She got over that 6 month hump and was on her way.

She mentioned something about not always knowing where she was on the sheet music so sometimes she would fake it and it would sound right. I said ok, for one thing, you're weren't faking it, something was guiding you, and that was your ear and your familiarity with your instrument, so there is nothing standing in your way with guitar.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 21, 2019 02:18 AM (a72/q) I was a Ford Certified sales rep and Internet Sales Manager, from '99 till '06. The parts-list difference between an F-250 3/4 ton, and F-350 1 ton, single rear wheel Super Duty truck, was a rather short list, indeed. It was cheaper to buy the 250, and pay for aftermarket upgrades to springs n' shocks, then to cough up the full ticket for the 350 at the dealer. Not to mention, the 8,800 GVWR limit for "commercial" vehicles in Texas in that era. They've since raised it to 10,000 lbs. But then, the 250 was fine on one's Class C regular driver's license. The 350 could get you an offense for lacking a Class B CDL. Damn near identical trucks, minor difference 'tween shocks, springs and such. Governments tend to default to the stoopid.

This recommendation must have been written by Obama's EPA. They are FOS, at least for the Southern half of the country where summer temperature runs in the mid to upper 90s.
Energy Star, the federal program from the DOE and the Environmental Protection Agency, said the coolest you should keep your home is 78 degrees when you're home. When you're at work or away, the program recommends setting it at 85 degrees. When you're sleeping, Energy Star said to set the thermostat at 82 degrees. Running your temperature up and down like that every day will use more electricity than leaving it stable at 80F. I know, I used to track my KW usage daily and I used to work for a public utility. I leave my thermostat set for the heat pump to cycle on at 78.5F and off at 77.9F in the Summer. I set it to maintain about 72F - 73F in the Winter. I can't remember where it actually cycles on and off. Posted by: Vic at August 21, 2019 05:20 AM (mpXpK) 776

So, I come home yesterday and the A/C is not working. The pan the attic unit sits in is full of water. The shop vac quickly took care of that. But the real issue is the drain line.
What is the best way to clear the PVC drain line. Back in May I used Draino and an small auger which probably wasn't long enough but no problems until yesterday. Today, we are going to blow air using a compressor from below. Any thoughts? Posted by: JAS at August 21, 2019 05:47 AM (I5SAg) 783
"Today, we are going to blow air using a compressor from below. Any thoughts?"
Find the exterior end point of the condensate drain line. Take your wet/dry vac, and put the suction hose over that end of the line. Wrap towels or what-not around the joint between the shopvac hose and the drain line. Turn on Shopvac, and suck the sludge and crap out of the line. (Make sure your shopvac has either a wet filter, or no filter in place for this. The standard paper filter will get ruined) Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 21, 2019 05:52 AM (cqNba) 784

Posted by: JAS at August 21, 2019 05:47 AM (I5SAg) The the line not draining should not ordinarily stop the unit from working unless a separate switch to stop it has been installed on the pan. If you want the drain to not clog up after you get it unstopped you should establish a flushing schedule and flush highly chlorinated water down it periodically. If yoy are going to try to blow air through it you should blow from the attic out, otherwise you are going to get a mess in the attic. Personally I would never have an attic unit in the first place. They are just asking for trouble. Posted by: Vic at August 21, 2019 06:04 AM (mpXpK) 787

Unless you use a reducer, when trying to 'blow out' the condensate line, there are instances where drain lines have been over pressurized. Joints then leak. Not visible right away, but showing up days later in the most difficult to access locations. And at a minimum, blowing the line clear creates this nasty mess inside the house. Sometimes looking like an elephant with a pustulating STD just had an orgasm on the walls and ceiling of the area where your A/C condenser is.

If the unit is 15 years old or older it is reaching its useby date and you should look at getting a replacement that is located outside.

"I am thinking duct tape."
With a full size shopvac, I have had success by simply wrapping my hand around the joint between the hose and the PVC pipe, and letting 'er rip. It doesn't have to be an absolutely air tight seal. And like Vic suggested, aperiodic dose of chlorinated water into the pan to prevent crap from growing back. Plumbing Supply houses also sell tablets intended for the same purpose. If you can gain easy access to the drain pan, simply set one in the pan, and let it do its job. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 21, 2019 06:09 AM (cqNba) 792

Thanks all. The unit is 5 years old. The pan does have the shutoff switch which is why once I vacuumed up some of the water the A/C started working again. I will use the shop vac to suck the "stuff" out through the bottom.

Does your ceiling unit have a drain pipe connected to its cabinet in some manner, and your entire unit then setting in the pan as a back up containment with some type of float switch to kill power in case the unit drain clogs up? Is your problem that the drain pan isn't draining, or is it that there shouldn't even be water in the pan in the first place if the primary drain connected to the unit is working correctly?

School bonds (with the "temporary" tax increases can ONLY be used for capitol projects and not operating costs). It original vote held during a November regular election was defeated by a 67% margin.The crooked SOBs held another vote 3 months later as an unadvertised "special election" and gave all the county workers the day off to vote.

"There is a primary drain and a secondary and they join about three feet apart. A clog in the main drain will stop both from working. "
Yeh....sounds like the design is such that when working properly, all condensate flows directly from the interior of the evaporator unit to the primary drain line, leaving the large pan that the unit sits in completely dry. If for whatever reason, clogging of the short primary line, leakage of the internal condensate trough inside the cabinet that the primary line connects to, or what not...then the condensate will be caught by the drain pan, and be drained off by the secondary drain line into the common main line to the outside of the home. So that would be your first safely feature. Then, the float switch in the secondary pan will kill power, stopping production of condensate if the secondary drain fails to drain for some reason. That is your second safety feature in the design. And if the common line downstream of the junction of the two drains is clogged, the symptoms you are experiencing is exactly what you would be facing. Either way, within ten minutes of firing up the shopvac, you'll know if you're on the right track or not. Let us know. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 21, 2019 06:42 AM (cqNba) 820

Damn.... Did it feel like there was blockage to the suction effort, or that the shopvac was actually sucking air, just not at the drain pan? I have seen drain installs where there is a TEE with the base of it pointed up, and open to the atmosphere. Not many, but some. And if there is one, and the blockage is upstream of that, it will simply such air from the tee. Unless the opening is blocked by something. Like a thumb.

Put another person near the drain pan connection, and see if they can hear air being drawn in at the pan. If not, You have an air gap of some type in the system, allowing the vacuum from the shopvac to be broken. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 21, 2019 07:44 AM (cqNba) 924

"So what does the float, switch?"
Usually, in installs like the one I suspect JAS has, it is the second safety feature to prevent water damage in the ceiling under the drain pan. If the drain pan backs up, the float switch trips, killing the contactor control circuit for the cooling system. Thus preventing the creation of more condensate, which would overflow from the pan, and leak into the ceiling. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 21, 2019 07:48 AM (cqNba) 934

If you can, have someone at the exterior end of the drain to watch/listen. If it's an algae plug, it will start to slowly ooze out like snot, then blow freely. Keep your pressure as low as possible.

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 21, 2019 07:48 AM (cqNba) I was late to the show, so I missed that.Mine actually does have a pump (and actuates a system contactor switch as well), so my technique would not necessariy isolate the problem. I think I'd still fiddle with the switch to see if it is functioning. Switch contacts are either make/break (hence ohmmeter) or switch a 24V signal (hence voltmeter).

Can one ever be cured of Horde advice? Posted by: Diogenes at August 21, 2019 07:58 AM (yhYmR) 965
Daytime Horde advice. I asked for some for a health issue. Doc say I should be cured in six or seven months.

Ours at stately VIA Manor is set up like yours. Drain line to sump pump on side of plenum. Float switch activates to cause pump inside tank to pump water up...across the basement...and down to a siphon break, and drain into a laundry sink. And a second switch to kill the power if the level rises above the cut-on point for the pump switch. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at August 21, 2019 08:05 AM (cqNba) 982

Don't laugh, its just a matter of time. The Left has been preparing us for the day when the manufactured "problems" with voting are so overwhelming that the only "fix" is to use statistical sampling. Examples of their manipulative work: "There must be vote fraud because the election results are too far different than our polls." "Too many voters are turned away from the polls because of racism and white supremacy" "Russians have hacked the voting machines" Posted by: Blue Bird of F'ing Joy at August 21, 2019 08:10 AM (lD3vL) 997

Back in the days of cassette tapes and before the ubiquitous internet, we in the Navy would record hours of radio for replay on deployment. "Crazy on a Ship of Fools" was the first song on one of my tapes, recorded from some rock station in San Diego in January 1990. I still have it somewhere, but I don't think I have a tape player anymore to play it.
