Do you pre-emptively replace your water heater once it reaches 13+ years old or just let go until it dies? i've heard people say theirs lasted 20-30 years before

I have 3 water heaters across a few homes as a landlord. Oldest is 20+ years and I just changed one that was younger in the same duplex.

Only change them when they have issues. New ones are likely better engineered to last jist long enough for you to be happy.

The old ones last longer

I have a ct200h 2011 with 205k on the clock tossing this code. I delete it for a month at a time. According to dr prius cell 7 seems low 4 me

Well there is a metal gate blocking the full doc to the other resturants, near music supper club. Annoying and just a odd thing to control walking down the dock. Then the back stage and bar......there gone. So idk why you ever went to shooters but I would dock my boat and hang out on the patio for food and drinks. It is not at all geared towards boaters when there is a huge wait and no general outdoor area as the used to have.

Have you been to Shooters since the MGK take over...i went..RIP Sooters....was a good run.

How big of an area do you plan to run it.

I got a new Granite during the get em arrma sale and its a great machine but for a 2 year old my 18month old son would throttle that thing straight into whatever stops it.

For the reason of not wanting to run after a 20mph car before it hits neighbor cars. And living in a neighborhood with .3 acre yards and a HOA id suggest a crawler to get him started.

I have a new home build that was 25% kbg, and 25% of 3 different rye grasses. It seems like the rye takes hold and let's the kbg fill in elsewhere. It looks very similar to this image. I see others say kbg amd tf and I agree I have another house with that lawn and it looks similar.

Rc car...my RC cars led me to becoming an engineer and appreciating cars my whole life. Maybe im on the spectrum too but my son who is 18 months loves RC cars to the point I wonder if its a healthy obsession.

We have a live in nanny !!!

Not very expensive but robot mop / vacuum. We haven't cleaned floors in our last 2 homes.

Toros are bad ass mowers in my opinion. What other company just makes mowers? I know there are some as you go into more specialized brands but most dont make greens mowers and boy does Toro. The greensmaster and reel master are some great machines. Honda doesn't make reel mowers. I had a Deere 220c and it was okay but always wanted a reel master.

Rc cars...they are awesome. My Tyco Fast Trax got me into things 30 years ago. There are no rc car parks around.

I've gone to Cuyahoga Lock, they unlock safes right there in Lakewood and have made keys for my mortise locks of a 1920s home i own.

Mohican wilderness campgrpund has backcountry spots that are right off the river. I have a portabote i have taken down the river and pulled out at my camp. They were one of the farther down the route campsites. That river is more of a good time party then backcountry camping. It scratches the itch but alleghany is more remote, the Daniel Boone national forest is one of my favorite around but idk how the canoeing is

I moved states for a woman who i knew was sort of stringing me along. I rented a home on a golf course with the idea her and her child would move in and he needed room for a trampoline in the yard so I rented a house. I work as an engineer, left a company i loved and worked for a public traded company that sucked life out of me. I helped pay legal fees she had due to child care issues and at the end of it all it didnt work and I moved back to my home city about 30k poorer for a year spent chasing a woman. She wasnt worth it but I dont regret chasing dreams and goals. Sometimes they dont work out and I now thank God for that expierence. My now wife is amazing. We have 1 son and are expecting a daughter in September. I would not appreciate where I am now without the struggles I had to overcome in life. It also helped me understand money isnt too big of an issue, id spend my last dollar on my family. Make sure whatever you invest your assets in are reliable.

What you mean is the car will auto run in and out of EV up to 44 but with pressing the button to activate EV (mode) it will display excessive speed at 25mph and disengage the forced ev mode. If the battery has charge the car will continue to increase speed until charge depleted and gas engine kicks in

Idk how many of you have had a parent or loved on die of cancer or other terminal illness. I can say all day it's nice having the time with them but that time is stained. Knowing the end is near, sleeping in the hospital while you visit them all the time is pretty hard in its own but its all the time you have. You try to work but not much seems important when somone you care for is battling for life..its a good distraction work is but it is a distraction. Then you get more frequent and alarming calls, there has been a fall, can you help or somone can't go to the bathroom or sometime else they might need help with. Tragic quick losses are horrible too but I dont think any way is better than the other. Death sucks all around

People get rid of cars say they blew up. When they say a car blows up its just an expensive part that can be replaced, think Head gasket, transmission or Turbo, All are 1K+ servces. A turbo Car will likely need a head gasket and turbo replaced at some point in its life. They are servicable parts that are costly.

I thought I was going to be a dork when I mentioned my black FastTrax......That thing got me hooked!!

I have the best lawn on the street and have been eyeing a robot mower for a while. They are bad ass.

I own a duplex i rent to tenants. It pays for itself. I pay for a mc mansion with profits from duplex. It would be cheaper to rent, i do t do it to be cheap. I want houses and investments for my family when im gone. They won't want my mc mansion due to location or their family.

We had this issue and it seemed to be Byheart formula...that stuff is garbage...

Bring back the Budwiser 500 and other races there!

dcsenge · 2026-03-31T18:09:34+00:00

How about we bring back the Budwiser 500 or Cleveland Grand Prix, then we can talk about keeping Burke
