por querer arreglar las cosas por mi cuenta, sin ayuda, y sin esperarme a que me contesten terminé en una situación en la que de verdad no quería estar…

voy rumbo a Aldergrove, a dos horas (o más) de mi casa a buscar una chamarra que olvidé. Chamarra que si pierdo me va a costar $300 dólares y literalmente todo lo que tengo en este instante son $25… y son prestados lol

todo tiene que salir mal para que las cosas salgan bien, o qué chingados?

tengo ganas de marcarle a mi mamá. tengo ganas de arreglar mi vida y no tengo ni la menor idea de qué significa eso o de cómo hacerlo. tengo ganas de comprar un vuelo e irme corriendo de este lugar. hay privilegios que uno no tiene y cuesta mucho trabajo aceptarlo a veces.

quiero estar en mi casa, en mi cuarto, durmiendo una siesta con mi gato.

desde este fin de semana en cultus lake no he podido dormir bien. no sé qué me pasa

there’s a shift. something changed. algo viró y ahora todo es diferente. cómo es eso posible?

pero de verdad estoy intentando mantenerme positiva. mantener la calma. intento recordar lo que me aterriza y lo que realmente importa.

ella. mi familia. mis amigxs.

ella y el sonido de su voz que son mi base, mi guía, mi faro. ella y sus manos que cargan con ellas toda mi paz y mi lugar seguro. ella y su sonrisa que me desarma para hacerme renacer cada vez que me vuelve a sonreír.

es ella a quien quiero regresar. es ella quien quiero que vuelva a mí.

a pesar de, sigo sin poder atreverme a decirle que la amo. que la amo con todo mi ser. que no imagino a otra persona para mí, y que no quiero imaginar a nadie más.

mis noches van a ser perfectas hasta que las pase a su lado. mis mañanas se van a sentir frías hasta que amanezca con sus besos.

la he tenido tan poquito tiempo frente a mí, pero la llevo en mi corazón desde la primera carcajada que compartimos juntas.

me enamoré de ella como nunca me he enamorado de nadie. esto es lo que debo recordar. esto es lo que vale la pena

aunque estés sentada en una banca en medio de langley a las 10:37 am, con frío y lluvia, rumbo a una misión imposible, porque Derek ya me dijo que no hay nadie en el site. que no va a haber nadie en el site. mínimo hasta el sábado. hoy es jueves. pero voy a ir, voy intentar recuperar mi chamarra, y si no funciona me fumo un porro y leo mi libro de regreso a Vancouver, qué más da

cierto, me pude haber ido a Squamish con Ge a nadar. y la verdad es que me estresa también pensar en eso.

that bitch was wonna charge me for everything, y regreso al tema de.. sólo tengo $25 y tengo que comprarle comida a mi gato.

broke, far away from home (idk if i have a home actually) and with so much stress i honestly don’t know how the fuck i’m hanging on, but here i am.

and i am fucking trying

#rant #de verdad no quería estar en Aldergrove #odio este lugar #pero odio más ser una impaciente de mierda #y odio esta situación pero va a estar bien #every little thing is gonna be alright

DIY Hot Water Tank Repairs in Chilliwack

Maintaining a water heater is not always simple, especially if you've never used one before. But, you can go for hot water tank repairs in Chilliwack by following the given DIY steps.

Step 1 - Remove the cover plates

Before starting working on your heater, turn off the power at the circuit breaker. To reveal the thermostats and other components, remove the metal covers.

Step 2 - Check the wires

Check the wiring going to the water heater. The tester won't read the voltage if the wires are enclosed in a metal conduit. The metal thermostat cover must be removed from the water heater's side, insulation must be taken off, and the tester must be positioned adjacent to the wires entering the top of the high-temperature cutoff switch.

Put the tester up to the metal of the water heater. If the tester doesn't light up, it's good to test the components. A burned-out component has to have its continuity checked. The wires must be disconnected from the terminal screws. With the tester probe, contact the other screw. Replace the element if the tester doesn't illuminate.

Step 3 - Examine for short circuits

Attach the alligator clip to a component screw. Touch the element mounting bracket with the tester probe. Continue with the other screw. There is a short circuit if the tester light illuminates either time. Get rid of the problematic component. Close the valve that supplies cold water. Fix a garden hose to the drain valve to drain the tank and turn it open.

Step 4 - Install the new element

Using the heating element wrench, thread the replacement element into the water heater and tighten it. Make sure the connections are secure while reattaching the cables. Replace the metal covering and insulation.

Conclusion

Though you can do this work on your own. But, if you still face any problems, then Water Heaters Only is at your service. We will take the time to make sure your mechanical system complies with all applicable codes and installation best practices. We also offer our services water heater repair services in Abbotsford and Aldergrove. So, hurry up and book a visit now.

Bristol Beaufighter | Classic Warbirds

During the years preceding the Second World War (1939 – 1945) the Royal Air Force had set about modernising its aircraft. One of the roles it wanted a new aircraft for was that of a long-range fighter. As war in Europe looked ever more likely there was an urgency to get a new aircraft to fulfil this role into service. So Bristol set about working on a new design heavily based on its recent Beaufort torpedo bomber.

This new aircraft was to be powered by a pair of Bristol's Hercules engines and would use the Beaufort's landing gear, wings and tail based around a newly designed fuselage. Bristol submitted this new aircraft during October 1938 to the Air Ministry who ordered four prototypes. Nine months later on the 17th July 1939 the first Beaufighter prototype flew powered by Hercules I-SM engines with Captain Cyril Uwins at the controls. The second prototype was powered by the Hercules I-M with the 1,300-hp Hercules II powering the third and fourth prototypes. Just over a year after the first prototype flight the RAF received their first Mk Is on the 27th July 1940.

The Beaufighter Mk I had a top speed of 320 mph, thanks to its pair of 1,560-hp Hercules XI engines, a range of 1,500 miles and a service ceiling of 29,000 ft. Armament consisted of four 20mm cannons and six 0.303-in machine-guns, bomb load would consist of four 500lb bombs. This appeared in two sub variants the Mk IF night fighter which had Mk IV Airborne Interception radar installed and the Mk IC for use by Coastal Command. Reformed on the 15th June 1941 No. 143 Squadron at RAF Aldergrove would be the first to receive the Beaufighter Mk IC.

It would be the Fighter Interception Unit based at RAF Tangmere who would be one of the first squadrons to receive the Beaufighter Mk IF when they started to get theirs on the 12th August 1940 and they undertook their first operational sortie with the aircraft on the 4th September 1940. A further five squadrons, Nos. 25, 29, 219, 600 and 604 were equipped with the type by November 1940. It would be No. 219 Squadron who scored the aircraft's first aerial victory when a Dornier Do 17Z was shot down on the 25th October 1940. It was No. 604 Squadron who scored the Beaufighter's first radar assisted victory shooting down a Junkers Ju 88 on the 19th November 1940. A number of Mk IFs would be sent to operate as long-range fighters in the Western Desert and Mediterranean. Converted for use in the desert the need to improve range saw four 0.303-in machine-guns removed from the wings to be replaced by fuel tanks.

With Bristol's Hercules engines in demand elsewhere it was decided to look for an alternative powerplant in case of a Hercules shortage. This would lead to a Rolls-Royce Merlin powered Beaufighter Mk II. When two airframes were installed with a 1,075-hp Merlin X inline engine testing showed the centre of gravity in the Beaufighter moved which resulted in directional instability. This would require the tail end of the aircraft to be redesigned. The production version of the Mk II would be powered by the 1,300-hp Merlin XX, with the first example a Mk IIF flying on the 22nd March 1941, and had a slightly better top speed of 327 mph than the Mk I with the same range and armament. These would begin to enter service the following month.

The Beaufighter Mk IV and V were next. The Mk IV was intended to be powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin XX but none were built. Two Mk Vs were and these saw a change in design with the addition of a Boulton Paul turret in the fuselage with four 0.303-in machine-guns. This would see a reduction in the mounted forward firing armament with the four 20mm cannons reduced to two and four 0.303-in machine-guns removed. These changes to the aircraft hampered its performance and no further Mk Vs were produced.

The Hercules powered Beaufighter Mk VI was next powered by either the 1,670-hp VI or the XVI. This gave the Mk VI a top speed of 330 mph, range of 1,500 miles, service ceiling of 29,000ft and armament of four 20mm cannons, six 0.303-in machine-guns with the ability to carry eight rocket projectiles. Fighter and Coastal Command started to receive their first Mk VI deliveries in early 1942. This was followed in May 1942 with tests which saw the Mk VI able to be armed with torpedoes. To begin with sixteen Mk VICs would be modified to carry torpedoes and these would enter service during June 1942 with No. 254 Squadron at RAF Dyce.

The next three intended Beaufighter variants were the Bristol Hercules 26 powered Mk VII, the Hercules XVII powered Mk VIII and Mk IX. These were to be built in Australia but none were produced. This meant the Beaufighter TF.Mk X was the next production variant, these would be nicknamed Torbeau. Powered by the 1,750-hp Hercules XVII engine it had a top speed of 323 mph, range of 1,500 miles with a service ceiling of 29,000 ft. Armament consisted of four 20mm cannons, six 0.303-in machine-guns, one Vickers 'K' gun, one torpedo and either 2,250lb bombs or eight 90lb rocket projectiles. The TF.Mk X would be used for anti-shipping operations and would be fitted with AI Mk VIII radar and this combination was to prove effective as shown in one 48 hour period when five German U-boats were found and sunk by Nos. 236 and 254 Squadrons TF.Mk Xs.

The Beaufighter Mk XI was the next production version, this was essentially a Mk X but without the ability to carry torpedoes. The Mk XI provided the basis for the Mk XII with the main change being an increased range but this would never enter production.

The Royal Australian Air Force would also take delivery of a small number of Beaufighters in 1941 and 1942. One of the squadrons to be equipped with the aircraft was No. 30 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force and they would use the type in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea (2nd March 1943 - 4th March 1943). No. 30 Squadron, RAAF Beaufighters would be among a number of aircraft, including those of the United States Fifth Air Force, which during these three days would attack a Japanese convoy on its way to Lae, New Guinea which were ferrying troops and supplies. The following two years would see Beaufighters built under licence in Australia and these would become the Mk 21.

Based on the TF.Mk X the Mk 21, powered by the 1,600-hp Hercules 14, had a top speed of 320 mph, a range of 1,750 miles with a service ceiling of 29,000 ft. Armament consisted of four 20mm cannons and four 0.50-in machine-guns. The Mk 21 could carry a range of ordnance which comprised eight 5-in rocket projectiles, two 250lb bombs and two 500lb bombs and one Mk 13 torpedo. The first test flight of the new Beaufighter Mk 21 was made on the 26th May 1944 from Victoria, Australia. In total 365 examples would be built in Australia with the 6th November 1945 seeing the Royal Australian Air Force receiving their final Mk 21.

The final Beaufighter variant was the TT.Mk 10. These were previous Mks converted to serve as target tugs and would be the last of the type to serve with the Royal Air Force, its final sortie occurring on the 12th May 1960.

During its RAF career the Bristol Beaufighter would serve in a number of roles including night fighter, torpedo bomber and ground attack. During September 1942 Nos. 143, 236 and 254 Squadrons who operated the type formed the North Coates Strike Wing which would target North Sea shipping. It would be Nos. 236 and 254 Squadrons who undertook the first operation for this new force attacking a convoy on the 20th November 1942. By the time the war in Europe ended on the 8th May 1945 the North Coates Strike Wing would be credited with sinking over 150,000 tons of enemy shipping.

Perhaps one of the most audacious operations of the Second World War was carried out by a No. 236 Squadron Beaufighter Mk IC piloted by Flight Lieutenant A.K. Gatword with Sergeant G.Fern as his observer. This saw them perform a low-level daylight operation on the 12th June 1942 dropping a French Tricolore on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.

The Bristol Beaufighter would serve with 52 squadrons and was also used as a target tug by the RAF until May 1960. The aircraft would be used by a number of other air forces including the United States Army Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force and by the time production ended a total of 5,928 had been built.
