Hi Rene! It certainly is!!! At school the problem a lot of times was getting the shut off valve to shut completely off to keep it from leaking so I could sweat the connections. Sometimes I had to call our HVAC / Plumbing contractor to come out and use a pro press or freeze it! I don`t miss those days!!! It seems like it should have sprayed him instead! 😂 If had been me that is how it would have gone! 😂

We've been having trouble with our main valve shutting off. Such a pain. Needs to be replaced, but that's not happening right now. We had to get creative to get the water out, thankfully everything is holding fine.

If I'd been the one turning the water back on, it would have been him...lol
 
Well, I finally decided that I should start working on the computer, so I could download Windows 11😡(this still ticks me off) , so I can finally get my taxes done. Anyway, I'm finally ready for the update and it says your computer does not meet the requirements to run Windows 11...:barnie:smackI talked to my son and boy was he being a grouchy old man, saying he didn't have time to mess with it and telling me I should learn to use Linux...blah, blah, blah. I told him to quit being so mean. He did finally take a quick look and said it was able to run the software, but he had disabled something from Microsoft, because it's crap... his words. After he left I went onto the computer to see if I could install the tax software in Linux, easy right... not. Brave, the browser we use in Linux is out of date, okay, let's update it... sounds easy RIGHT... no, I have to reinstall it...:thI left the screens up, so he could see that I was trying and I walked away, without saying anything to him about it. I was done messing with it and grouchy old men... how did my little boy grow up to be a grouchy old man? :huA little while later he brings the computer out and tells me I should vacuum it and then use the blower and get all of the dust out of it. Instead of changing the settings he had decided to go ahead and do an upgrade of the hardware. Make it faster and more powerful...lol I did as he asked. Then he asked me if I had backed everything up...I realized I had missed a few things. He had it set up downstairs, so I went down to finish backing everything up. The mouse wasn't working correctly and I was having a hard time with it... he says to me, "are you drunk?"... no, I'm not drunk and he has never seen me drunk... brat. Finally, he says, move, I'll do it and just assume you want to keep everything. All of this, just so I can file my taxes... why didn't I try to be more incompetent right away...:gig
