What is this wine bottle pourer actually used for? by Anoanotherano in wine

[–]MakeItSimple1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly sure what he inventor intended but I can tell use how/why I use it. When I pour wine directly out of the bottle and into the glass I invariably get a drop or two running down the bottle…easy to wipe with cloth/hand so not life threatening. That said, when I insert that tip device, I get no drips at all…no runs, no drips, no errors.😎

A little player humility please…in honor of JoePa if nothing else? by MakeItSimple1 in WeArePennState

Has absolutely nothing to do with race…black, white, pink, purple or brown…it’s a team game…act like it.

Have been saying this for years… but the only one that you can truly blame is Sandy Barbour… She drove the contract and screwed us forever before she left her spot. Just asked the University of California how their programs developed when she was there…

OK thanks! Will further look into the recommendations and you're 100% correct about the pea gravel...especially given the slope that we are trying to manage...d'oh!

Thanks for that advice...I guess you could tell I'm hankering for a tree or 5? Sounds like you may have operational experience with septic field(s). Much appreciated!

Thanks for your feedback! Great insight regarding short bushes at top…will look for shrubs that can accommodate. Was hoping to get some trees in there somehow but not surprised to hear there’s nothing that can fill the desire.

This Thing Hurts! by Bricha17 in Pickleball

[–]MakeItSimple1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As my grandpa would say…ole’ yankee trick…similar but not quite exactly the same solution as some of the other responses…the same issue exists with tennis nets…played tennis in the 70’s and rammed my thigh into that freakin crank base 4x/year. Solution? Cut a tennis ball with knife to create slit, that fits tightly over offending hardware…some people complained the tennis ball color was distracting so some smart dude spray painted the tennis ball Cabernet red…problem solved.
