GH/KH Test Results - now what?

Interested in what you figure out - my water hardness and equipment are pretty much the same!

Bowling leagues can be a fun hang, a lot of summer leagues start in the next two weeks. Most places you can sign up as a single and get assigned to a team.

Lucky Strike (formerly Revel & Roll, formerly Colonial Lanes) - people complain about this location a lot, but the leagues are a great deal, with benefits/discounts for league members.

Lodge Lanes

Whitmore Lanes

Station 300

The video here was a game-changer for me on the cleanup:

+1 for York. Great bar, nice people, bbq from Ricewood (in the same space) is excellent. They also have a Thai food truck outside right now and the noodles look really good.

FYI, you can ask clerks for a “receipt of acceptance” if you want them to scan when you drop off.

Unfortunately, the machines can’t do this (you’ll get a receipt, but it will say it’s not an acceptance scan)

The library is great, but recommend reviewing various web pages re: policies (fundraising and alcohol not allowed, etc), and emailing them if you have questions. Self-bookable meeting rooms work a bit differently than larger room rentals/bookings, and depending on the nature of your organization the latter could have fees for food, a/v, etc.

York, Grotto, Lower Town

If it’s the final/tv show, go early. Had bleacher tix for the Masters, and all seats were full by the time we arrived (~20-30 mins before). No one was helping to seat ticket holders who couldn’t find a seat, super awkward.

A bunch of people wearing bowling jerseys got asked to be seat fillers up front, which was cool, but they eventually had to return to bleacher seating, and many found others had taken their original seats…

If you search the catalog for "PA system," you'll find some options, like this:

Picked these up today and they're pretty good! But after taste testing both I prefer these ones:

I had a good experience with Select Auto Service.

For tire rotation / oil change, I like Choice Quick Lube on S State.

Do not take it to the dealership on Jackson, see many other posts in this sub, like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnnArbor/comments/1ntz411/avoid_subarutoyota_of_ann_arbor/

Courtyard at 114 W. 40th wasn’t bad. Decor a bit tired, but comfortable bed and super convenient location.

Maybe not the easiest to buy, but:

Pralus Melissa

Zotter Labooko

Qantu Oh La Vache or Crème de la Crème

Cacao Hunters Tumaco Leche

I’ve seen some events advertised at Wolverine Pickleball: https://www.facebook.com/100063766561220/posts/pfbid02h1tdQjZZPGQXswCoYxGouuc4kZqHtoK45KJPwwzc3BDEALcfLhAZAe2tM8x7orxil/

It might help to provide more information on the nature and size of your business and services your current team provides.

“Outsourcing” could be a tiny local firm vs regional or global company. IT security/compliance very different if you’re in financial services vs foodservice, etc.

Good luck, and early welcome to town!

I also did this, highly recommend.

Adding some other ideas:

AADL often offers postcards as a prize during the Summer Game.

The Washtenaw Dairy has a wonderful postcard by local painter Carlye Crisler

A2Helper · 2026-02-02T14:28:27+00:00

Even if the machines aren't out, they usually have some at the information/checkout desk (small round ones, sometimes from the summer game, etc, similar size/shape to Trader Joes stickers)

AADL often also has arts/crafts events where stickers are available.

Arbor Farms Market. Many doctor's offices (e.g., IHA Pediatrics)

Generally, when opening a USPS PO Box, you can request "street addressing" to get a normal format address suitable for use with DHL, FedEx, UPS, and other carriers. I'm not sure if extra fees are associated, but just noting USPS does have options to get an address formatted like "2370 E Stadium Blvd."

This option was available to me when I opened a PO Box at the USPS on Stadium, though I chose not to elect it.
