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 - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
