I just fixed my nuclear fireplace! I'm so proud!

[Rabrrrrrr]

I was having problems with neutron absorption and a a teeny little chain reaction that almost got out of control in the mixing chamber, and one of the rods was peeking out a bit. So the feds show up and wanna fine me unless I fix it. Sheesh.

And then my neighbor starts in to bitching about the steam leak and his kid's third arm. Bitch bitch bitch.

So, got it all tightened up now, and she's burnin' away!

2. Damn - and I was proud that I just replaced the heating elements

in my water heater by myself this morning.

It appears as though I'm an underachiever. Seems I belong in Bush's 'Merika after all :shrug:

3. May I suggest boron? n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Boron? Nah, I got a bunch of old styrofam peanuts and

cardboard boxes from Amazon that I'm using.

5. As good as anything else,

and I commend your ingenuity.

6. Nuke's good if you don't mind wearing the codpiece

But for real heat, I prefer my sacrificial lamb-powered furnace.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. I have my lamb one running to heat the pool

But otherwise, yeah, great idea. I love it!!
