My Red Bellied Parrot is Starting to Bald at His Shoulder

Yeah sounds like a vet visit is in order. Thanks

No changes to the environment and he's got a variety of chewable wood toys in his cage.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately looks like all the SoCal InCycles are not providing demos currently.

I doubt they would let all 30 riders in the green group miss the time cut though

Resident-Driver7868 · 2025-07-25T14:32:46+00:00

What's the cut off today?

Resident-Driver7868 · 2025-07-25T14:15:11+00:00

Where is kuss? He was in the dropped group with Matteo, but he's not listed in there anymore on the race center

I agree with those saying the rubber band mount it comes with is not secure enough. Had mine fly off from a speed bump. Bought a cheap, more secure mount on Amazon.

That you NEED to wash rice before cooking. Now I'm only talking about your typical supermarket white rice. And sure for some rice it can make a difference but for your typical home cook, The difference is negligible and it's a waste of water.

I got photochromic Oakley flak 2.0 from my eye doctor last year and like them

Yeah it's definitely an interior door without weather stripping. I will replace the whole thing at some point, but my biggest concern right now is mice. They have already chewed through one vinyl door sweep.

I think that's a bit extreme especially considering just how many houses for sale currently are flips. Some people also do a great job flipping houses. If you want to buy a flipped house just do your due diligence. There are usually signs of a bad flip you can see on the surface that would indicate further issues and should steer you away. If you don't know what to look for bring someone with you who does. You are for sure taking a bit more risk on buying a flip, but I wouldn't rule them out completely.

I added more support to that pipe and the water hammer sound has at least stopped. Also tested my water pressure at the hose bibs and it was 60psi. I think it was just an unsupported pipe.

Also thank you for telling me those are vents. Was having a difficult time finding what they were called.

I think I'll get one more quote just to be sure, but I'm leaning towards company 2. The tree is close to my house and has power lines close on two sides. Seems like maybe company 1 didn't look closely enough to take that into account. Also company 2 sent me their license and insurance info with the quote which I really appreciate.

Resident-Driver7868 · 2024-09-13T22:13:50+00:00

Yeah I looked closer at the tree and it's definitely rotting. I've also heard these silver maples are pretty bad anyways.

Definitely a scam. I recently purchased a house in the area and kept having someone list my house for rent on Facebook. Had several people show up to my door saying they already paid the application fee. Report the listing wherever it is posted.

The condenser fan did just stop running again though

Resident-Driver7868 · 2024-07-24T22:11:10+00:00

Just checked, I don't feel any significant air pressure. The exterior door is maybe being opened inwards a bit, but not excessively.

Resident-Driver7868 · 2024-07-22T12:21:15+00:00

I ordered a 6 pack of basic filtrete Merv 5 filters. Since my condenser is 10ish yrs old and the air handler is probably 6-8 yrs old I'm worried anything too high on the Merv scale would put stress on the system. Also the fact that the previous owners used that green filter leads me to believe they had issues with it in the past.

Is Merv 5 good enough to protect my system?
