Got a call late last evening. Son had leaking water heater. I made a list of tools to take and loaded by midnight. Went to Church this morning and then drove 90 miles to pick up heater and go to his place. I swapped it out with only 1 trip to hardware store for copper fittings. I hate cutting into "old work" copper plumbing. I had to take 2 joints apart because of leaks. The one joint I put a paper towel in, to absorb the dripping water from above. I got it soldered and did not leak. However the paper towel moved far enough to plug the kitchen sink shutoff valve. I told him to let the water run while he was home to watch. Hopefully it would abrade the paper towel and move it through in small pieces until cleared. Otherwise there is a gate type shutoff valve under the sink where it is probably stuck. I told him that he may be able to disassemble the valve and pick the towel out with a tweezers. I have used bread this way in the past, and it did dissolve enough to move the burnt particles of the bread to the diffuser in the valve. Any other ideas? Unfortunately I probably took the pipe wrench home that I loaned him long ago and he probably does not have another tool that will do the job. Thanks Roy

Today's Featured Article - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
