There are few things worse than having a pipe burst in the middle of winter. Now, pipes under your house very seldom burst anytime other than winter but you get my gist. It usually happens when it is 20 degrees and raining. You end up having to lay in the middle of the frigid puddle and trying to put things together with frost-bitten fingers and frozen clothes.
The job, however, has been made a little easier in recent years with the invention of PVC pipe. Pre-PVC, you would have to try to unscrew galvanized piping from a fitting, get another piece of pipe, if it was too long, thread it, etc, etc. With PVC pipe, simply glue, couple, done. That is success...
Today's word is a quote from Henry Ford, which says, "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success."
Much like the old galvanized piping, there are those who try to make things as difficult as possible. They rupture, fight like the dickens to get them out of the fitting, are usually difficult to get to fit into another place, and you usually need to do something for them to assist in making them useful. Then, you just wait for them to rupture again, or become unscrewed.
Hopefully, we can all be a little more like PVC pipe: simple to use, quick to come together, strong in service; that is success. I think we can do this without the glue, though, that stuff is hard to remove.
Be Blessed,
