RE: Social Security disability
Social Security at 62, for reasons unrelated to health, taking a 25 percent reduction in benefits for filing four years before full retirement age (currently 66 but gradually rising to 67 over the next several years). Six months later, you are diagnosed with kidney disease. You can file for SSDI, and if the claim is approved, you will get a higher benefit, backdated to when you applied for disability. (You will still not get your full retirement benefit, but the “reduction factor” for early retirement will shrink from four years to just the period when you were only eligible for retirement benefits.)
Full Retirement (65-67).....Disability amount is same as full retirement amount so you remain on SS vs Disability

RE: I have a question too ask
The boys are owners of the company along with the dad. I see the boys have filed a civil case against dad. The boys mom has filed for divorce from the boys dad.
RED FLAG^^^^^^^RED FLAG^^^^^^^RED FLAG
Bounced payroll checks TWICE....that is NOT a fluke, an opps or an oversight.
It is a MAJOR RED FLAG.
Put that togther with the above statement of civil suit/divorce
BIG DOUBLE RED FLAG
Start Job hunting NOW

RE: Check your Tires! Often!
Morning of travel day I check/adjust trailer AND truck tires
2 hours later....first rest stop/potty break I visually check all of them again AND take temp readings on trailer/truck tires (between the threads), take temp readings on trailer hubs and truck discs using an Infrared Gun
Then after setting up at destination I again do a visual again
Repeat next travel day

RE: Revenge is mine, says the buffalo herd...
We had taken a back road to circumvient some of the tourist traffic in Custer National Park when we saw a Mother & Calf buffalo so we stopped along side the road for a photo op.
Soon we were surrounded by other Mom's/Babies that stood there facing us....front/rear/both sides and there were NOT moving along.
Just standing there snorting.
held us hostage for about 20 minutes when one Mom turned and walked away....then the rest followed suit.
For a time I thought I was going to have to explain HOW the large dent in truck occurred But....they let us go unscathed.

RE: Atwood Water Heater Relay - Stuck Closed Again
To answer some of the questions,
I am using he Zettler AZ2280-1A-12D as sold by Atwwod.
Due to the tight space I have to crawl into, I don't think that I will be able to make too many measurements on the element. I will give that a shot though and see what I can do.
Thanks and keep the questions coming. I would like to get to the root of this.
Terry
Might want to try the Song Chuan Relay (does same thing as Zettler)
AC terminals are on opposite sides vs next to each other.
Might not generate as much heat as Zettler
(Suburban uses that relay in their DEL Models ---DC to trigger AC to element)

RE: Atwood Water Heater Relay - Stuck Closed Again
To confirm the diagnosis, I would pull the relay and then ohm the contacts to verify that the Contacts are really stuck.
Jerry Parr
Relay uses DC to trigger AC to element
AC can NOT get to element unless Relay is closed
OP stated......
W/O DC ON the AC is still getting to the element.
Hence....relay is closed

RE: Norcold N305x indicator lights not working
AC Indicator....bad bulb
AC Indicator hot (black wire) comes off the AC Thermostat switch ...same place AC heater gets power
AC Indicator nutral (white wire) goes dirctly to terminal block...same place heater neutral goes to
DC flame meter is a function of thermocouple
Blue wire to selector switch goes to Flame Meter
Red wire from Flame Meter goes to ground connection on AC thermostat Switch
You know thermosouple is working cause gas vlave is staying open otherwise it woud trip if thermocouople wasn't generating current

RE: Keeping fridge cool in high 90s temps
Few questions...
*are the INTERNAL Fans operating (1/freezer & 1/food compartment)
DC power from P4 2 pin connector (pin 1) far bottom right on circuit board
*are the EXTERNAL FANS running (P1 10 pin connector -- pin 5) DC goes to t-stat then to the Fans
Suggestion:
Unplug thermistor leads (temp sensor on 2nd fin in food comaprtment) and let fridge run W/O temp control (set tp MAX temp setting ---then if food comaprtment gets to cold you can lower the temp setting ----operates on Backup Operating Suystem which is 'timed base' vs temp based
