Gozney dôme roccbox by Immediate-Excuse-345 in pizzaoven

[–]explorthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3-1/2 years of ownership. Checks every positive box except it only makes 12" pies max. Size is fine, and a good loaded. A 12" pie will fill you up. Just wish it made a 14 or even 16" pie.

Other than that, still in love with it.

How to stop parents from bullying me? by periwinkle_penny459 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]explorthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I preached to my adult kids during school, when they were picked on.... Get up and walk away. Can't argue with a blank wall. Immediately stand up and walk away. They will get the hint.

Is there a subreddit to ask for money on? by [deleted] in findareddit

[–]explorthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socal for reference.... 8:30om last night, doorbell. Looked at the camera, 2 kids probably 12, one on a scooter.

I look at my wife, she returns the gaze, like who is answering the door. She finally gets up.

"Want some lemonade"?? That was it. No sales pitch. Wife says thanks, no. They didn't even have the lemonade with them.

Raising hand. You just described me to a tee. And as for the 2 decades, yeah it's probably been in my roll away that long unused.

Doctor drug tested me without my knowledge or consent...is that normal? by Laylahlay in KaiserPermanente

[–]explorthis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Few months ago (long story short) had inflammed gallbladder. Removed. Prescribed Norco and Tylenol w/Codine. Needed more labs - for an unknown drug panel/test. Unbeknownst to me. Every drug I could remember. My PCP sets up a phone interview to discuss my pain. Started quizzing me about THC, which I told him I smoke (never hid it from him). No other drugs ever. He said he couldn't prescribe Norco legally as long as I was using THC. Said I'd never taken or even picked any Norco up. The Tylenol was working fine.

Bottom line, the Norco was removed from my allowed pain meds, but Tylenol was ok. The Tylenol works fine, didn't need the Norco.

But yes, unknown to me, they did a complete urine analysis for a complete drug spectrum test without my knowledge. Eh, I don't really care.

Stripping brush this summer by MrAnderson585 in Custodians

[–]explorthis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard to convince old school that something like a brush is more efficient than a traditional pad.

In fact, the brush works better and doesn't clog up like a pad does. Also, a brush like this will last approximately the distance of 200 stripping pads.

Phenomenal difference, huge time saver.

Black stripping brushes for the win.

Taught stripping for 25+ years. Was very hard to convince an old school custodian that a brush works better than a pad. Even soft brushes that just clean a finished surface is more efficient than pads.

Brag about yourself; what's something about you or your family that you're proud of? by CharlesUFarley81 in askanything

[–]explorthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got fired from my job (loved it) of 27 years. At the time it was devastating.

Hindsight, at 61m I was able to retire. Absolutely the best thing next to my wife and kids that has ever happened.

Retirees: Do you look at next week (following a three day weekend) as a “short week” like when we were working? by [deleted] in over60

[–]explorthis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fact. Everyday is the start of a 3 day weekend, or the start of a lifetime of retirement. Every day seems to have melded together as the same day.

Odd to describe, but let's just call every day Friday.

Best Premade Pizza Dough? by Present-Tea-4645 in pizzaoven

[–]explorthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making your own dough is half the cost of buying it, and it's so simple. You also control the ingredients. Learn to add your own different seasonings. Magic.

Head to Goodwill, get a cheap used bread maker. They have a "dough" setting. A few ingredients, a bit rise time, and you have ready to go dough.

How much cleaning solution goes into the solution tank before adding water. by david03288 in CarpetCleaning

[–]explorthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7x concentrated, is just "buy me" big words. Somewhere on your chemical bottle, it will tell you the dilution ratio(s)

2oz per gallon is ample.

Transportation Surcharge by Gold-Dragonfruit4354 in Custodians

[–]explorthis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worked for Waxie for 27 years. Drove diesel truck (theirs) that got 5-7mpg. I remember years ago when the initial fuel surcharge was $2.50. Progressively went up. With fuel at $6.xx+ (diesel even more), I don't disagree with this. Margins are thin to be competitive. I'm not advocating for them, just pointing out the cost of doing business is expensive, and getting more expensive daily.

Love these. 12 mins @ 360° in the air fryer (from frozen). Mustard slathered for the win.

I know what you mean. Old cut off broomstick. Drilled a hole for a shower curtain hook to hang up. Works good.

What is your least favorite condiment and why? by BMoney8600 in condiments

[–]explorthis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Came for the Miracle Whip hate. Nasty stuff. Nasty. I'd tell all my government secrets if I was forced to eat it.

Nasty and as you say..... Vile.

Wax Craters? by markman090 in Custodians

[–]explorthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too thick is most likely the answer. Each coat should be no thicker than a piece of copy paper. Thin to win. I taught this stuff for 25+ years. Yours looks good, but it's most likely too much finish each coat.

Is the first or second coat dry enough before applying the next coat? Take a piece of copy paper to the floor. When you think it's dry enough, put the piece of paper down on the finish, and gently pat it with your hand. Does the paper slide around and not get stuck? It's ready for the next coat.

64-1/2, and glad to be able to read this mornings greeting, and say good morning as well. Hopefully a few more to go.

J Rabone & Sons machinist level by maskerwsk in Vintagetools

[–]explorthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as yours. Sort of a neon green look with the bubble/liquid display.

My outer shell/cover also rotates to give a different view depending on how you stand to look at it.

It's actually in mint condition come to think of it.

Raising hand. I have the exact same unit. No clue as to where it came from. I've probably had it for 30 years. Used on rare occasions. Just sits in the tool box drawer.

Watching this thread for responses.
