In my case, my grandma wore flapper dresses. My dates wore miniskirts, and listened to rock and roll. At my high school, the girls skirts according to dress code had to come down to be even with their girl's thumb-tips. No stand up, hold your hands by your sides, notice where your thumbs are. That was the hemline minimum for the girls. Dang I loved high school dress codes! 18 year old super hotties in mini skirts. They ignored me then and still.

Virginia City and Nevada City lie along Alder Gulch, which is the site of some of the richest placer mining gold site in the Rocky Mountains, with an estimated total value of $100 million throughout the 18th and 19th century. Virginia City became the territorial capital of Montana in 1865.
This photograph of Virginia City was taken between 1870 and 1879 by A. C. Carter of Montana Picture Gallery. It shows teams of mules with wagons, looking northwest from the corner of Van Buren and Wallace streets. People are on the porches of the houses visible on the hillside. Several men and boys also can be seen, along with a dog and possibly a goat in foreground.

Clarksville was one of northeast Oregon's oldest mining towns. While details of the town are scarce, a detailed diary kept by a resident miner in 1864 described life in a frontier gold town. One entry states:
"Wednesday January 20 - 7a.m. drink of rum for breakfast. Another drink. Got snow shoes fixed. Another drink. Far as store. Drink of brandy... finally made Juvels cabin. Dinner. Then for Clarkes Creek. Arrived 4p.m. all okay and sober as an Irish Judge."

Can somebody decipher what’s going on?

I see:

The pipe for the gas line, but it’s not hooked up.

The expansion line, going to a drain.

The supply line, which branches off in the blue pex and the water heater and ?

The expansion tank, to prevent water hammer, but it looks upside down.

Two ground wires hooked up to the copper

Why do they have red and white hot water lines? At first I thought the two lines were to circulate hot water, but that’s a hot water on on demand system. Maybe they are two different system sent to two different locations

Either way, looks like a lot of fixtures/bathrooms/kitchens for one water heater.

I'm guessing the colors represent floors or zones. It could also be for in-floor heating.

My quick guess is the blue is cold water coming in from the ground to the heater and branching off to fixtures in the house, the red is heated water going to fixtures too and the white is recirculating water- even though it is on demand, people still have a recirc system that operates in different fashions, some are on a switch; maybe even a motion sensor to get the hot water ready.

Looking at it again, I noticed the white pex is thinner than the other two.

Also, those look like slip in fittings not crimp fittings.

Doh! I see red and blue pex all the time and it didn’t dawn on me the blue pex in the picture is the cold water to the house. 😂

Blue-cold
Red-hot
White-recirculation

We have not installed our recerc pump, but the intent is to run the tankless to get hot water at the furthest locations/shower/laundry/spigot so that when you turn on the hot tap, it’s ready. They are sometimes tied in with a switch that activates the pump for whatever Circut is demanding the hot water. At least that is “one” theory behind the three and the reason the white is a smaller ID. Oh yeah, probably the biggest takeaway, is that it saves water by running through the pump rather than running down the drain.

Disclaimer, since I do not have first hand knowledge of this particular job, I am not 100% sure what the reason why they did this. I am only basing my general deduction solely on my personal experience with installing PEX and the three colors I used in our tankless install. BTW, we have the same unit and it kicks arse. Our partially filled propane tank lasted 2 years before filling to 75% insanely efficient buggers.

Yes it was.
The arrow program was suddenly shut down and all
tooling destroyed.
They claimed the project was cancelled because
they wanted to spend the money on farmers.

later it was revealed that
KGB agents were working on the project
in key places and the rooskies had
the blueprints in nearly real-time.
Soon after that, they soviets came out with the foxbat
and it shared many new design details with the avro.

I have the same hot water heater and a recirculating pump as well for the farthest part of my house.

With that being said, the white pex must not be hooked up or the one open ball valve on the short run would be making a mess….

GREAT SEA STORY
The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo's position was LAT 0º 31' N and LONG 179 30' W. The date was 31 December 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton broke in, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line". Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime.
He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship's position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed.
The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre position were many:
The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer.
The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter.
The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899.
In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900.
This ship was therefore not only in:
Two different days,
Two different months,
Two different years,
Two different seasons
But in two different centuries - all at the same time!

This olive tree sprouted 4,000 years ago, circa 2000 BC. In China someone was discovering Bronze, and the last mammoth was hunted by humans. The seventh dynasty of Egypt was over and in Crete, King Minos initiated the construction of the palace that would inspire the myth of the Minotaur and its maze... In the same period that this tree germinated was when our species discovered the existence of glass. The tree, which is in Greece, saw man walk from the bronze age and arrive in the atomic age, and today. She saw the world change, she saw kings, despots, politicians, poets, warriors, and prophets rise, and die. She went through many, countless wars. And she still keeps giving olives every season...
