Wife left me without the car. Guess it's an inside day.

I'm not tossing it out yet, but I would really question the longevity of something like that. Last thing I need is for a repair to fail on me and crash hard. I was lucky I didn't get hurt bad. The onlookers said it looked like a pretty spectacular crash. I rode in the sideline powder the whole way down, just in case I fell

Excellent session today. Good 10cm of top snow all over and first tracks of the day! Broke my board on the last run though. Sadface.

Niseko Avalanche, 3 missing?
Tachypsychia replied to norcal's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
google translate FTW 5 At around 11 am on the 16th, there is a report Dokei Kutchan to (Kutchan) station "injured Have avalanche is happening" and from a man who was skiing Annupuri of Niseko-cho (1308 m) near the summit were. Ski patrolman who received the contact has rescued three men and women. Not life-threatening cases. According to the announcement, the site is about 300 m southwest of the summit, the slopes of the ski course outside. I found a young woman out of three people with foreigners. It was purchased more than one skier in the near field, that there is no information had -

Snow on the 天気予報 for 下北 every day this week. Not sure of how much accumulation though. Too sore to ride today. =-(

I let the epoxy resin cure 24 hours then put everything back together. It didn't work at first (OMFMWTF) because the gas line was frozen. I had to heat up the pipes to get enough fuel to ignite the burners. But everything checks out and I took a nice hot shower as a victory lap. I also never bothered to open the plastic bag under the cover because I thought it had warranty information in it. Turns out Rinnai included a TON of schematics for the electronics as well as a exploded view of every part on the heater. It would have helped immensely taking everything apart if I had looked at it -

Thanks for the advice Chriselle. I was literally stunned when I first saw how it vented. The water pressure is pretty weak, so I feel pretty confident it'll be ok. I'll throw everything back together tonight and cross my fingers! I'll update either way. -
muikabochi- The snow keeps coming for you! Been snowing pretty constantly here but very light so maybe an extra 1-2cm a day at sea level. It snows a little more on the mountains so every morning there's a nice layer of fresh snow to start the day. I got there before they opened today and though I wasn't the first one on the lifts, I was the first one down the mountain as everyone went on the second lift. Twas awesome. Spent the rest of the day in the powder trying to surf and ending up more and more like a sugared doughnut every run.

I should try to find those. I guess they'd be at the local grocery with soaps? Any names you can throw out for me to look at? My bath is out of commission currently due to a cracked pipe, but repairs are in progress and I'm looking forward to a hot soak again after a good shred session. Did you end up keeping the water daily or redrawing the water? I have to drain it, as apparently that's how one of my lines busted >.<

Just finished putting on the epoxy. Going to let it cure near the heater for a full 24 hours before I put everything back together. It's too late for me to bother putting it all back together anyway. If it doesn't work, I'll at least see if I can get a new radiator coil. Sorry, Sunday is the local home improvement store in my prefecture. This is the crack before I sealed it. And here's a shot of my exhaust. So where you see the heater coils is where the hood sits, just some thin aluminum. Then goes straight outside. The vent protrudes 1 foot or so outside. And its that same -

Thanks for the input guys. I took it apart again today and reconnected the water. The joints I re-tightened the other day are fine. Unfortunately there is a small crack in the pipe on one of the coils. Its not on one of the easily removed lines, but the heater coil for the shower/hot water tap. I have yet to remove because I don't know if they have JB weld or an equivalent epoxy here I can use. Since the repair money would have to come out of pocket here, I'd like to try and band aid it until later. Chances are they'll want us to get a new heater entirely which are ¥¥¥. I'll also chec -
Hey guys, I'm kind of stumped and I don't like to be stumped. (For cliff notes skip to the bottom) First of all I live in Aomori, and in the last few days its been nice and cold. Temperatures have finally dipped well below 0, reaching -9 during the night. The wife and I have not had a winter in Japan yet so this is our first. All the other water lines are fine, as we make sure to run water through them often, but the tankless water heater for our bath has frozen 3 times despite my best efforts. I thought that our lines had busted from freezing. Because the government owns our hous
