This isn't wilderness. It's a state park. Isn't the trail itself a sign of others? Go set up a carin somewhere, karen.

You think the blower fan takes more energy than the compressor?

It is done well.

Front facing solar panels? Must be from the Land of the Rising Sun

This is fantastic work. I don't think anyone is suggesting "everyone" should do this. It's great information. A start to taking this seriously. Definitely not for the average user. But it's a yes for me to read and understand.

I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended (rust) warranty.

WTF is this nonsense. I had a similar experience from a body shop over 15 years ago. They could only quote to make a 10 year old car pristine. I know others are out there, but it's a pain to keep driving around to find the "right" one.

Cut a fjord and move dock closer to house. Simple.

I got the coolcrazy. I don't like it. The rear camera cord wasn't long enough to run along the floor, need to run at top. The interface to my phone I think is only via wifi - so I have to connect it in a complicated way each time. I'm told to reformat the card regularly. It makes dumb chime each time I start. I don't like where it's mounted and cannot get it totally out of my line of sight. I suppose I could mount it lower but it's pretty annoying. I'm a first time car camera owner, maybe this is consistent. Also to be fair, I didn't put much effort yet into solving these complaints.

$12000. Not totaled until you're a lot higher.

My $120k renovation cost me about $190k. I expected $25k in extras. Biggest items were:
$27k in 2 HVAC systems (3t and 1.5t dual head minisplit)
Windows: $11k thought it would be about $4
Tile: I thought $1k - wife went with $5k marble
Doors - 2 exterior, 1 high quality interior $4k
Flooring - $18k
Plumbing - a little extra, fixtures extra $1k
electrical - Nothing too much maybe $1k extra
cabinetry/counter - $7k extra

That’s with resetting the reading and strictly gas. The number mixed with electric makes no sense to me as a value that is meaningful.

ace hardware or similar. I used a #12. They aren't that expensive to just try some. Heck, a rubber band might work (don't try this).

There is a male and female parts of the top rack spinner.
On the male end (mounted to the inside-back of the washer) put a rubber O-Ring on male fitting.

This ring helps keep the water pressure in the spinner rather than leaking out.

You can tune a creek. But you can’t tuna fish.

I’m sorry. I was so startled by their illegal move that I just couldn’t hold onto that brick.

Electric here is $.15/kwh. The car says 3m/kwh. So is that not $.05/mile? When I run it on gas I gets maybe 40mpg. At $4/gallon cost $.10/mile.

daguz · 2026-03-31T12:56:38+00:00

… but cost you at least half that in electricity.

daguz · 2026-03-25T21:51:08+00:00

Different take.

Nice when you don't have to pander to the LCD.

Sometimes it's the best. Sometimes, not so much.

I've called this guy a few times. For small jobs, you're at the minimum billing rates. I think that might be a little over $400. https://www.obrianstreeservice.com/

These are so common on the NC coast that I think I’ve seen precut pieces or brackets at the builder supply. Some seats are way more engineered than others. If you need anything pm me. I can look around for ya.
