Are we just getting lazy with the Friday threads?Follow

I follow @God_Damn_Batman, which in itself is worth having an account.

I also follow friends, family, @Marvel, and people I stalk comic artist/writers.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I don't participate in these threads too much because I don't have much of a life. But last night, our office paid for tickets to see Wicked. It was just as good as when I saw it last year. I cry at "Defying Gravity" every time, I'm such a sap.

Today, I ran some errands, mailed some books, bought some dog food. Next I'll drink some whiskey and play some WoW. Tomorrow and Sunday I'll sit around my house and think of things that I could do that are more productive while I watch A&E and TLC.

Apparently, I got volunteered to help a friend move on Saturday, so that's what I'm doing. Hopefully, the rain will let up by then, or it will such. Either way, will probably spend that evening recovering with a vodka beverage.

Sunday will probably involve yelling at the Chargers to some degree, then game night. Apparently, there are some trolls, and they've been very bad.

I picked up Uncharted 3, so that's more or less my weekend. I may stop to sleep at some point, I haven't decided yet.

The dry side.

Usually the usher will seat you, but I'm not sure it matters so much anymore. However, the bride stands at the left side (as you're facing the alter) so I would assume the left side. I honestly am not sure...

I've had Data phones for longer than most people have had cell phones. You get used to calling them PDA phones after a few years and its a hard habit to break.

Turns out the correct answer was "the left side" I of course managed to sit on the right side.

You won a bunch of rateups! and a free invisible chicken!

Oh, I'm not doing much this weekend, but this week, I got a promotion at work. It's a ****-ton more responsibility, about 2 bucks more an hour, and kinda more fun. I am absolutely psyched!

So the programmable ones don't need special wires or anything?

And thank you for the grats on the promotion. TBH, I'm nervous, but rationally, I think I'll do fine.

Nope, it's pretty easy. In a two-wire system, you'll just connect the red wire to R or RH and the white to W. If you have AC running off it too, it depends on how your system is set up, but typically you'll do green to G, red to RH (jumped to RC), white to W, yellow to Y.

Yeah, apperently in houses built after 1970, the wiring for thermostats is all standardized. This particular thermostat also requires a wire to C to deliver power to the display itself. Without the wiring snafu I ran into it took me about 2 minutes to install the first time, then another 3 minutes to fix the wiring. Installation and setup was really easy. I have a fairly simple heater setup, 1 heating stage, one cooling stage, so i was able to use pretty much all the default settings. Higher efficiency multi-stage units would have a bit more setup, but its basically a matter of looking up whatever heater and AC unit you own and determining if you have different heat zones, etc. Even if you get those settings wrong, the thing still works and they are easy to change. I do know that other honewell and other manufacturer thermostats are a bit more complicated to set up without the GUI. On those you would typically have to look up setting codes out of a manual and input them.

In the event you are interested in the installation and setup process, here's a video that shows most of the interesting bits. The first minute of the video is relevant, the rest of it is customization and accessories setup.
