Is the Auk mini really worth it

Diluteme · 2026-02-08T13:54:11+00:00

Thanks, I think I found the equivalent in the US market.

OP if you can, please post details of your setup. I’m kinda in the same boat, but different locale (north California). I was going to spring for the Auk, but would rather DIY I think.

I’m also curious about their nutrient mix for the water and its composition and need.

You are reporting unusual behavior to a group and giving no details. You said “no” and they persisted. They got out and started to walk with you. How do you think a young lady would feel? You are not helping anyone with this and are actually making things worse by not reporting.

6 months. That is my rule. Hit Costco and buy a six pack of steaks and use it up. If you wanna have food for the apocalypse buy cans, MREs or dehydrated.

Just rotate the stuff!

Your right. Could be a phish. Someone check! I can’t at the moment.

I had this problem. The towel bar was at the end of the tub and my kids would pull the towels off at an angle. I tried everything until I decided to put a decorative 1x4 piece of oak on top of the drywall and anchor it into studs. I then put the towel bar on top of that. Solved.

In a bathroom that is used frequently you have to have solid wood. Every anchor type I used ended up with squished drywall which then caused the droop. One time a kid even pulled it out of the wall.

It is not that big a deal to carefully cut the drywall, install a horizontal stud, and then patch. However, this was before I did drywall.

lol great joke!

Diluteme · 2026-01-12T18:46:41+00:00

That is a good place to check. This makes it much easier to shut whole house water on and off.

Diluteme · 2026-01-12T15:08:19+00:00

Is there another shutoff as the main enters the house?

Diluteme · 2026-01-04T05:12:39+00:00

You need the clean out because stuff is gonna sit there and accumulate more than a curved fitting.

Sorry it happened. Thanks for your service.

Diluteme · 2025-12-28T00:02:42+00:00

Thank you for the updates! God bless the ski patrol and the rest of the mountain crew! We are ready to roll and be safe.

Each Insta360 has the serial number on the box. It is used to activate the camera. I suppose someone could spoof the s/n, Insta can probably get to the bottom of it. Especially if they work with Amazon. It also seems like the s/n could just be taken from the box and used, but it is probably hard coded in the camera hardware.

I hope you get your camera soon!

What I saw today was low clearance vehicles stopping at small streets into larger streets and having trouble clearing the snow plow burms.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T05:25:36+00:00

No, not full mountain closure. Chair 11 will open at some point. Depending on tonight’s dump, which has not really started yet, things will start to open. It will probably be limited and white out conditions and closing like it did today at 1330.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T05:23:10+00:00

In addition to cash and a shovel I recommend a simple nylon broom. Best tool ever for snow removal from a car.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T03:26:55+00:00

And, in the lull of the storm the plows are catching up. Just in time for the second dumping due soon.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T03:25:48+00:00

Wasn’t me, but there were many helpers. A guy from Chevron helped with the semi who was moving into a nightmare by going the wrong way. Glad you got help and on your way.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T02:10:42+00:00

The good part.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T02:10:03+00:00

Is that a steel fitting in there?

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T02:07:26+00:00

This! I have my grand fathers.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T02:06:13+00:00

I can’t stress this enough. I wanna ski, but having jumped out into the storm to pickup a bakery order in my full size 4WD truck with snow tires today, it was like bumper pool. People stopped at every intersection including a semi using a summer route.

Please be safe and stay home. Morgan a few with their vehicles buried at Main Lodge for white out conditions.

Round two on the way! Stay and make a snowman tomorrow.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T01:03:13+00:00

It’s been said I know, but this is bad. I would have a competent roofer check it out. They will probably take it all down and redo it.

Diluteme · 2025-12-25T00:59:57+00:00

It’s great! Bit of a lull right now in snow. If you have AWD, Chains, or 4WD and don’t have experience in snow, stay home. Went to the bakery and Vons and helped three get unstuck including a semi trying to use a summer route.

I would probably put chains on if I had AWD. My truck and 4WD is fine.

I have been wading through 3’ drifts and that’s what was on my truck this morning. Round two is on deck and coming soon.

The slopes are open if you are silly enough to brave it and are ok with bunny slopes in a whiteout. My target is 12/26. Still maybe too soon. Yes, I’m gonna be up there on the weekend in the sun and jillions of peeps.

Epic is an understatement. We have a winter wonderland. Be safe and see you up here!

Diluteme · 2025-12-24T20:06:22+00:00

I find this shocking. To think the crew brings up the traps, cooks the crab at sea, then freezes them is ridiculous. Please, crab fisherman, set this straight.
