^ did you sign that petition
(which by the way reminds me of the crazy people portrayed in that one episode of law and order svu where the chick is a tv star and gets raped)

i was going to say...
Except the knuckle-draggers that follow him around would then beat you to a pulp because that's what they're paid to do.
The comments section of this article on the Bieber deportation petition really took on a life of its own.

The funny thing about the petition deal is it used to take 25K signatures to get a White House response....until this happened:

Oh, by the way, the only head press in the country that makes heads for these tanks is currently "down"... :smileyballs:

Ugh... I'm done screaming about the stupid things that cause failure in our equipment. More specifically, I'm done screaming about craftsman "fixed" things that aren't fixed. It is REALLY hard to have quality craftsmen around these days.
Wednesday we jumped through hoops to change out two hydraulic hoses because one had a hole in it. Yesterday, with two new hoses in, we had a sensor throw an alarm which shut down the machine. All day I&E worked on the sensor to try and make it work, swapped out the sensor, worked on it further, and I dogged them off at 4. Come in this morning and the HMI cabinet was open and they were chasing wires. Then it dawns on me... could the hoses be backwards? Got dammit. Without even manually running the unit, I knew that was the problem. Grabbed the controls, hit the "down" button and the hydraulics went up... MFS. Told I&E to button their end up and go home. Now I'm going to have the MW's who caused the problem come out and swap the hoses. (sigh)

MW's? man whores? maintenance workers?
MF's seems to be the better term

MW = Millwright. We have one highly competent MW (foreman, mainly off his tools), one "millwright" who is the equipment oiler, one Ironworker who is a "millwright" and about five bodies who have "millwright" listed as their trade.

Started the dishwasher before heading out the door and it starts pumping out drain water from the air gap! *%!?** I had just changed it and the drain hose. Sink is draining fine. Turns out the leftover fats from the taco pan back washed into the drain line and temporarily blocked it. A little hot water down the line and it broke up before draining properly. Not a mess I needed to deal with while trying to leave for work.
you're better off running it while its draining to get any non-disposed of "stuff" out of the unit itself than you are just leaving it there to clog the drain line. In fact you're supposed to run the water when the disposal is running so the dishwasher draining would do the same thing. My wife has a terrible habit of sticking stuff down the disposal and then not running the unit to send the waste down the drain. It's a pet peeve of mine, I make sure the disposal is clear at all times.

Don't have a disposal, was removed by previous owners. Otherwise, it'd be run with the water on.
Valves to the dishwasher drain lines usually don't keep out backflow. When you run the disposal while the line to dishwasher drain valve is open, it can back up into the dishwasher. Especially on older dishwashers. I know this to be true from personal experience...
You should always run the water with the disposal though. If it's really greasy stuff, you should add surfactant...
