Welcome, Bigben,

I wonder how many outside the UK know that "Big Ben" is the tower, not the clock?

Sorry to be a fact nazi, but it actually the bell inside the tower. Around 13 tons of bell.

Well I'll say Hello to Big Ben, but little Ben can stay where he is, LOL! That is if I'm getting you innuendo correctly?

I live in the Motherlode, near Jackson or Angels Camp...Welcome.

Man, that went to the gutter fast

It's my son's name also!

I did some stainless pipe work up their years ago for Calistoga water (Nestle). The spring looked like a pile of rocks with a piece of PVC pipe sticking out. We plumbed it down the hill to a big holding tank, then down the hill again to a filling station that looked like an old out house. It was cold as hell, snow on the ground, ice water in the hole. We had a smug pot someone took from a vineyard and burned diesel in it all day to thaw out.

Yeah, when I went through customs, the dude asked if I had a criminal record. I said, "I didn't know that was still required!"

I'm just over the hill from you in Vacaville.

And by "over the hill" I mean it in so many ways.
