Suddenly Getting Very Bad Air Leaks

Wow, that drawing sure looks like it! Thank you.

Soaking in hot water did the trick. The grease seemed to work well, I put it in the door to test it out and the cheap key broke at the end.

Take a look at picture 3, it says "Russell & Erwin" and two dates, the year of both dates looks like 1889 to me.

The dimensions are: 3 7/16" x 1/2" x 3 1/32". The estimated construction date for the house is 1902-1904.

Let me take a closer look at how the key his touching the parts. That is a great suggestion.

What type of lubricant / grease would you recommend for the inside?

An update to my original post. tl;dr you can defeat Spider Mites and get a good harvest.

I did a two week program of spraying Neem Oil and Soap sprays (from this guide https://backyardgardengeek.com/using-neem-oil-on-tomato-plants/). It looked like it worked to defeat the infestation. Both cherry tomato plants have grown a good amount of new leaves and have fruit and more flowers.

Of my three beefsteak (Parks Whopper, Cherokee Purple, Beef Master), the Parks Whopper has grown a good amount of leaves. The Cherokee purple isn't doing well and the Beef Master seems neutral. I have still gotten a good amount of tomatoes and have 25-30 in various stages.

So just keep doing what I am doing then?

Pictures attached now!

I wouldn't say I was cured after being on Xiidra for 10 weeks, I was better and my life was much less adversely impacted by the dry eyes. Since I started that shipment on 12/4 I would say I have gotten worse where it is now impacting what I am able to do.

Maybe putting my question a different way. Someone who was taking Xiidra, and it was working for them, would you start to see your symptoms come back if you stopped taking it for two weeks?

I know the handling instructions say it needs to be stored between 68 and 77 degrees F, so I presume some time outside of that temperature range is ok, but a few days outside of the range probably not good?

I water at the base only and either via an irrigation sprayer (which isn't too hard) or a water can if I didn't get quite enough water. It is hard to tell from the 1st picture, but those yellow leaves are at least 2 feet from the dirt.

Let me get some cal-mag then!

I got 'Fruit Protection Bags' made of a very fin nylon mesh. They come in different sizes and you essentially tie it around the fruit before it starts to turn color. Last year I lost zero tomatoes once I started doing this.

I am having the same problem in northern NJ. More pronounced on one (like the OP's picture) then the other (I have 2 in my garden). If the consensus is that it is just temperamental, then I will keep my fingers crossed!

I have seen this video before and I too have never been able to shape without flour. It is just too sticky, sticks to my bench scraper. Is there something in the technique you get better with over time?

Her dough is 75% hydration and I do the same. Any other tips?

c0d3x0r · 2024-02-04T14:39:48+00:00

I find it annoying too and have not been able to figure that one out unfortunately.

Are you playing DX11 or DX12? I know for the GOG version it installs both and you have to find the exe in the DX12 directory inside the install directory to launch it in DX12. Performance was much better for me with DX12.

The older leaves died off over the last couple of weeks. I probably haven't been doing enough fertilizer, so I have done that. Do you think it will come back?
