(It was very difficult to open the bottom because of the crazy recessed security screws. I had to use a hacksaw to cut the plastic fittings.). After reading this thread about the metal epoxy fix and the bad smell I reluctantly decided that this coffee maker is BER (beyond economic repair).

We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. 9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. 10 And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. 11 And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.<br /><br /><br />What if the pandemic was intended by God to bring some people to God, or back to God? What if more people ended up saved, due to that last disastrous 12 months, than would have otherwise been saved? In light of eternity, shouldn't all Christians willingly accept some pain if even 1 more person might be saved? Non-Christians won't get this and will find this thought very offensive. My message isn't to them. My message is to those who have a understanding of heaven, a hope for the future, and who are already living in their eternity.<br /><br /><br />Consider Matthew 18 and Luke 15: <br />4 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. 6 When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!<br /><br />Andrew Fuquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615561394305458570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442303600614435277.post-42517983780740634312020-12-05T18:35:36.020-05:002020-12-05T18:35:36.020-05:00Thanks for sharing.

Cleaned up area with rough sand paper and seal with 2-part metal epoxy. Quick and easy fix!<br />Hardest part was getting access to leak. As someone else posted bottom is held on with four Torx T-10 security screws. My bit for those was missing - have a T8 and T12, but of course they wouldn't fit. Elsewhere I read you could jam a small flat head screwdriver in to the Torx head to remove the screw. Sure enough, that worked! Once the bottom was off, the fix was easy!Gary505https://www.blogger.com/profile/08484246866499432613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442303600614435277.post-82171987388563481652020-05-13T13:31:29.543-04:002020-05-13T13:31:29.543-04:00thanks. do you know where i can buy a new elemen?thanks. do you know where i can buy a new elemen?Charouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032145760348462220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442303600614435277.post-74843870280000854242020-05-03T16:53:13.269-04:002020-05-03T16:53:13.269-04:00I've had the same problem with my DCX1200 and ...I've had the same problem with my DCX1200 and using JBWeld.

The leak from the tube was stopped. One think you didn't mention was the smoke and smell from the epoxy when the coffee is finished brewing. It smells like burning plastic but the smell goes away fairly quickly. Also, with each use of the coffee maker the smoke and smell decrease.

Scrum the Management Process is in/of itself not agile (i.e., the 4 values and 12 principles).<br /><br />I hear echoes of Robert Martin's Clean Code and his championing Software Craftsmanship Movement in many of the points you mentioned. Or maybe vice versa, since this article was posted in 2011. ;-)Eljayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12155896720169544542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442303600614435277.post-42742974193346972682017-03-22T21:54:22.840-04:002017-03-22T21:54:22.840-04:00I don't think I experienced that.

My repair, by the way, eventually failed after about a year, and my 2nd repair created an odor that my wife disliked, so the unit ended up in the trash.

One tip I remember had to do with doing what you have the energy and time and opportunity to do in that moment. Your GTD system should help you be organized so that when Bob is nearby you look at your @Bob agenda, and do that. When you are @Home (or @HomeDepot), you do your @Home (Depot) agenda. If you can knock something out quick, do that. I think that helped me prioritize the most.<br /><br />On my PK I made backlog columns for Urgent, Important, and Both Urgent&Important. That helped me only a little.<br /><br />Some of our priorities we just instinctively know. For example, I value honoring commitments, making appointments, and being on time, so that drives my priorities. I also value engaging with anyone who reads my blog, so I'll drop absolutely everything to respond to a comment.<br /><br />What have you tried? What works for you?
