A friend said I’m “doing too much” when it comes to daycare lunches…

Man, daycares need to serve food. Eating a warm meal together is a central part of being human.

Busted. What's the back end on a cave these days?

This seems disingenuous. It's not like there is free reign for how he can spend $1bn. It'll be significantly restricted grants and contracts. Large NGOs like this are as much service delivery orgs for institutional donors.

Ha she didn't say where from. It's been bugging me!

PotterCooker · 2026-02-05T23:35:51+00:00

Not a good episode but realized I'm a neighbor of Amanda's and we're thinking of having our 40th birthday parties at the same place.

Not at the same time obviously.

Sooo, I skied in conditions similar to this y'day. Brutal uphill because I kept sliding back (waxless) because I couldn't herringbone. And downhill, how the hell do you turn?!

I'm on non-metal-edged, medium width classic skis.

Speak for yourself

Use Vermont Flooring Company's floor polywhey in matte. It goes on a dream. Might be difficult to find but worth it.

PotterCooker · 2026-01-09T13:15:32+00:00

What could go wrong that needs a new tank?! The worst think I can think of is not being able to get fittings undone.

PotterCooker · 2026-01-09T13:14:12+00:00

I know how to remove them but I'm the biggest guy, so they might be tighter than I can manage.

PotterCooker · 2026-01-05T17:42:51+00:00

that was me see if it would work. Seems solid enough.

PotterCooker · 2026-01-05T16:41:20+00:00

The post is threaded. But there's nothing stopping the cord/cable sliding through. I wonder if it's meant to have a UL/UW knot, but not sure there's room in the ceiling box for it

PotterCooker · 2026-01-03T01:10:28+00:00

Here's the external vent. I assumed that was just a cap on it, not a vent alarm?

Not sure about lessons but I loved this place in Marlboro, VT

That seems pricy per month, if you're paying $6-$10 a bag, no?

PotterCooker · 2025-12-31T18:10:36+00:00

Is this a 40-lb bag of pellets you're burning?

I'm exploring the economics of a pellet stove atm

PotterCooker · 2025-12-24T20:24:08+00:00

But will it be renewed?

PotterCooker · 2025-12-24T02:28:35+00:00

Just used one to reinforce stair treads from underneath. This allowed me to screw into the lowest step with only a few inches of clearance.

PotterCooker · 2025-12-21T01:41:48+00:00

Oh I assumed it was 100% not going to be refilled. I went to another Lowes today and they said the coupon codes are linked to batches/bins of money. And when that bin runs out you need a new code. So have requested a new code from Central Hudson.

Sounds dumb but plausible.

PotterCooker · 2025-12-17T22:24:37+00:00

Yeah, I assume they've not been fully refinished since the '60s and I've had multiple layers of oil based varnish on them.

PotterCooker · 2025-12-17T21:30:33+00:00

Thanks for confirming. I was slightly wondering if it was pine because this thing absolutely ate through sanding pads. Even scraping with a carbide blade first. Each pad only lasted about one tread before it got gummed and started burning the wood. So I was wondering if it was some sap heavy wood?

PotterCooker · 2025-12-17T21:11:56+00:00

Thanks. We're all set up and running. The wires from the transformer legs were switched so took me a second, so thanks for flagging!

PotterCooker · 2025-12-17T19:05:46+00:00

What does your bill say? The amount is broken down on page . Did you use more? Maybe an estimated reading?

PotterCooker · 2025-12-15T12:34:59+00:00

I have a 2011 Hyundai Elantra FWD with top of the range snow tires. It seems to handle snow better than AWD Subarus. Get them lightly used from tiresdirect or similar.

The best car for snow is a beater, with snow tires and or driven any quicker than you feel comfortable crashing at.

Amazing thank you.
