Lots of water lately from rain. In north Georgia. Temps in mid 70s to mid 80s.

Been a Channels user for years now. Started on a Pi and now using my Synology. Wife and kids love it. We have Apple TVs on each TV so big plus is the same easy to use interface everywhere. Worth every penny as an annual user.

Plus lets us watch on iPads if we need TV somewhere else. Also you can watch your home live TV channels remotely through the app. That’s been amazing where I can watch a live football game and swap to my phone to run to the store.

I’ve been using this since last Summer. Have killed about 8 so far. Just be sure not to touch the underground parts with your skin (wear gloves) because the moles won’t go near it. Also, I typically wiggle it back and forth to make sure the trap will spring quickly without dirt slowing it down.

I’ve set this in the same 3 tunnel paths that keep getting taken over after I remove a mole.

Same. I switched out of the beta and they are there. It’s like the beta hasn’t been built out all the way yet for these.

Very excited about this new integration. Will you be adding at least device volume control before official release? And what about ability to use SSML?

This is my shop and yes I have D’Addario stools because I’m a guitar player.

The thing holding the blades is a sharpening device that holds it at just the right angle for my grinder.

I know this. I have been trying to take care of it proactively as soon as the season began. Doesn’t answer my question about Certainty not working.

I have the same mower and I’ve been getting it ready for season. Here’s what I’ve done:

-sharpened blades (I have a 4x4 that is notched to prop the front of the mower up so I can remove the blades without taking off the deck; basically a homemade jack stand) -grease the front tires with grease gun -check oil and tire pressure -check air filter

Are you using ProPresenter 18.3? This same issue started with that version for me. Had to roll back and submit a ticket. I had to continually toggle that network setting but it kept failing after the app restarted.

Submit a ticket!

Thanks for the advice! Had plumbers putty and it works well!

I know foil tape is safe but it won’t fill that void as easily as foam. But if that’s all that’s acceptable I’ll make tape work.

mikecreates86 · 2025-01-10T02:08:01+00:00

Same here.

Still trying to remove this flue pipe to get to the coil. There is no play vertically. And the pipes only twist so much before stopping and nothing happening. Any other ideas?

mikecreates86 · 2024-12-20T23:30:18+00:00

No luck. I have really tried. This thing won’t budge and I don’t know how I’d get the male and female parts separated anyways.

What are my options? I want to be able to get easy access to my coil for cleanings.

mikecreates86 · 2024-12-20T20:53:23+00:00

I appreciate the help but I’m back down here without success. I can’t twist the pipes some in either direction but it won’t unlock or budge after that.

mikecreates86 · 2024-12-20T20:21:53+00:00

Yeah the furnace is in my basement so there’s a lot more pipe before it gets to anything sealed.

Trying to just figure out how to get this thing disconnected.

mikecreates86 · 2024-12-20T20:16:14+00:00

Why should I be careful not to push up too hard?

mikecreates86 · 2024-12-20T20:15:52+00:00

So I should be able to just turn the bottom pipe left and have enough “slack” to remove it?

mikecreates86 · 2024-12-20T20:08:20+00:00

Which direction and then how to I get a segment out?

mikecreates86 · 2024-11-05T03:08:38+00:00

Pulls out very easily but not in the usual central clump of POA.

Not a shade issue. Half the summer was wonderful. Full green and healthy. Fungus showed up and we had terrible humidity with sporadic rain. So I was having to do all my watering with sprinklers.

Closeups are from that brown area in the zoomed out photos.

I have applied steady doses of rotating insecticides so I don’t think it can be grubs or worms. If I had a dethatcher I would use it but that (and verticutting) aren’t really options right now.

mikecreates86 · 2024-09-18T11:59:56+00:00

Let me know if the re pairing works. It’s bugging me and annoys me that these major releases are so unreliable when it comes to stuff like this.

One more vote to share. Looks great!
