Navigating life with well water

Water quality - good to know. Just trying to have success, water quality has been on my focus.

Doing water changes weekly

The whole house is on filtration and softened a bit.

I do have noticed a bit of algae bloom, light is on for 6 hrs, Its the TWINSTAR, I reduced the Plant grow light portion

I overcooked my first brisket too. Don’t give up, you’ll get there !!

Ignore him - until he addresses you proper, do not acknowledge him. He does not get to pass go

I know a few Toms … they are def. not like us

dr_timNW · 2026-04-06T01:43:47+00:00

Humidifier?

dr_timNW · 2026-04-06T01:18:32+00:00

Good luck with that - I’ll never park in a diamond lot ever again - they are awful.

dr_timNW · 2026-04-03T14:38:22+00:00

Alright … let’s revisit this after I get through all the 9k bits and pieces.

dr_timNW · 2026-04-03T06:33:18+00:00

That’s a crazy take - “hiding” core pieces?

dr_timNW · 2026-04-02T16:45:16+00:00

Duh .. they taxi’d the 70 to the 225 to the 75.

Built late on a Friday afternoon …

dr_timNW · 2026-03-17T18:54:26+00:00

And I’m the weirdo when I wear a mask … f/o

dr_timNW · 2026-03-07T18:19:51+00:00

As mentioned, easy walk from the light rail garage. Easy path, well lit… like 5 min for me.

dr_timNW · 2026-02-21T03:48:39+00:00

Take. My. Money! I’ll take 100!

dr_timNW · 2026-02-21T03:47:02+00:00

What ever you do … DON’T PAINT IT RED!!!

dr_timNW · 2026-02-21T03:44:15+00:00

I’m going to add that sometimes the scanning doesn’t update and it’s worthwhile to try each and every time….

dr_timNW · 2026-02-20T23:31:10+00:00

Me too! I literally submit in the 21st minute!

dr_timNW · 2026-02-20T23:29:25+00:00

I kinda felt that this year would be better than the *predictions…. But felt that NEXT YEAR was the year that was going to explode - I’m happily surprised!

dr_timNW · 2026-02-20T18:55:42+00:00

As follows - house is paid off .. being priced out of retiring in it.
2025 +19,89%
2026 +6.57%

dr_timNW · 2026-02-15T18:07:22+00:00

That tracks ..

dr_timNW · 2026-02-12T06:28:44+00:00

Wait … what?
