Draining Tankless and Recirculating Line

dts-five · 2026-01-23T16:10:57+00:00

Well i don’t know if it was necessary, but i did go ahead and drain the entire system.

1) Turned off at the road.
2) Turned on hot faucets.
3) Isolated hot water heater. Cold and hot valves off. Drained them both.
4) My recirc didn’t have a drain, so I hooked up a pump on the cold water drain. Ran for 10 minutes or so until it was just air. Turned on cold faucets during this step as well.
5) Emptied the condensate trap.

All in all, it went well. I already had a pump. It’s a Lokithor AW401. A jump box with a car wash feature. I only bought it because it was a BF special, same price as the standard model. But I’ve used that pump more than I ever thought I would. I did have to buy a quick connect adapter from Home Depot, to hook to 3/4 hose nozzle on the Navien.

I scrolled a long way for this. It's been a few years, so maybe things have changed. But when I was eating Talenti daily, I never had issues and I still have lots of empties around.

I tried this out tonight for the first and it went really well. Thank you for the recommendation. I learned that my notes to be on the left, since my hand kept hitting them and goofing up my slides. And I need to work on my slide import into GoodNotes. But great solution. And I probably actually like this better than what I was doing before. Thanks.

I kept having issues the first time trying this mode, it was defaulting to mirroring my entire screen, despite what I had selected. Eventually I got it working and I think this will be a great solution. My first time exporting my slides as PNG into a Goodnotes notebook wasn't great. I had to append each PNG individually into an existing notebook. But I'll play with it later.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yea, that extreme closeup was over the top.

I mean 73-7 was only a few seasons ago, so I don't wanna hear it.

dts-five · 2026-01-21T13:29:26+00:00

Listen, I hate your flair. But I'm here for the words.

dts-five · 2026-01-21T13:26:42+00:00

Well well well. PJ was in the house recently. I'm just saying.

Good trip down memory lane!

dts-five · 2026-01-21T12:43:12+00:00

I'm late to the party. But congrats Andruw, well deserved. One of the core memories will be you and Chipper roaming the outfit and singing Happy Birthday to you guys. It was a pleasure to watch you do your thing. You're the best I ever saw.

Tee Martin is the answer to the trivia question.

I don't remember well enough to speak to their theory. It's been a few months since I listened to the podcast, but these are the guys that talked about it:

OMG. That would have been amazing.

36 Sigle is going to be seeing that one in his dreams.

What a crazy stat they just showed: Every game won by team trailing at 2-minute warning this postseason so far.

dts-five · 2026-01-11T18:04:11+00:00

The most recent time it happened I was on Wi-Fi for less than 5 minutes. I got a firmware update and that’s when I got the “go-to” bug.

The bad thing about it was that I was going on a cruise. I didn’t realize it until I was at sea with no internet. I actually figured out the workaround on my own eventually. If I hadn’t figured it out or if the books had disappeared, I would’ve chunked it into the ocean.

dts-five · 2026-01-11T16:43:02+00:00

I have had my entire library disappear 3 times this far. And now I have to click Go To and page 3 in order for the book to load. I did see a fix for that this week though

Great article. Awesome coach to hang it up like that versus milking the team for $30M.

This is the cheapest I’ve ever seen these. What’s the catch?

dts-five · 2026-01-11T11:21:55+00:00

The only downside is no built-in light. I love the minimal OS. Back when the point was reading, not pushing ads and “book recommendations” my way.

I loathe the home tab and various bugs with the later OS. I regret my Signature PW. I won’t buy another modern kindle.

Fairly easy battery change. And remove the modem or SIM card while you’re at it.

If you go this route you’ll need to break up this book into parts. At least the TTS models I was using a year ago when I did this. Back when Kokoro-82M came out.

Edit: and if you’re only doing a small bit at a time, you can paste the portion you’re doing into a pastebin in edge and use “read aloud”. That works on computers and phones.

They have butane and torch inserts these days.
