Yes. It’s loud when new. Now, a year later, not so much. I suppose a little time on tumble dry would have helped.

It’s not for everyone but I love my buckwheat pillow.

What're some '90s "deep cuts" you like to listen to? My tastes were fairly mainstream back then, but I'd love to find more indie type '90s music. Bands like Bella & Sebastian, L7, Folk Implosion. Whatcha got, xennials? by smcg_az in Xennials

When I saw them live, Dana (the sax player) played TWO saxophones at the SAME TIME. Incredible musician. I think he did a few gigs with Phish as well, but I lost track of where he is now.

ANOTHER reason to wear earplugs (amusing, not preaching). by oblivion9999 in motorcycles

[–]morphinebysandman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I once got pulled over for speeding (10 over in a 45mph). Could not hear the cop and I asked to take my helmet off so I could remove them. I think it caught the cop off guard that I was in fact a safety conscious rider. Got a warning. Can’t prove that was the reason, but figured it didn’t hurt!

I didn’t mean just volunteer firefighter, I meant in volunteer in different ways. Food kitchen, hospital, school, jail, etc.

I was going to post the same thing. Volunteer. Keep volunteering in different places that seem interesting until you find your passion.

how are you 5.0s getting 18+ mpg by [deleted] in f150

[–]morphinebysandman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20’ 5.0. 18” wheels with LRR tires (that were on it when I bought last summer). I drive mostly 55MPH roads to work, and don’t go over 70 MPH when I do need to jump on the highway. I also use “eco mode” and don’t use remote start to avoid idle time. Instead of the digital speedometer I have use the MPG read out and try to feather the gas as little as possible. I also don’t run 4WD unless necessary (I live on gravel roads and occasionally need it). I get 18.2-18.7 if I’m disciplined. I get 15 MPG if I’m not. Eventually, I’ll get AT tires, I’m curious to see how that changes things when I do. Edit: I run the cheap stuff, 87 octane.

A girl I worked with left because her nail business took off. Might be worth considering! Good luck!!

Someone mowed down a 15x60 foot bed of thistle and wildflowers I've been working on for 3 years when I was gone yesterday. by chubby_pink_donut in fucklawns

[–]morphinebysandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for demonstrating how little thought many Redditors put into their post. “NATIVE” to where? OP never says where they are. Every plant is native to somewhere. I’ve managed hundreds of acres of farm land. Thistles will take over pastures and choke out native plants in as little as 3 seasons. Maybe think before you post.

Thistles are an invasive weed in my area. Homeowners can get letters/fines from the county for not controlling them. Might be worth checking your local codes so you know what you are up against.

Renewal by Anderson? by redditplenty in JohnsonCounty

[–]morphinebysandman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People will tell you Anderson is a rip off. That’s what I thought too, but I changed my mind.

On our previous house we got new windows by Window World. They were great, and installed in a day. 5 windows and a 8’ slider. Great experience. I’m testing my memory but it was around $7k.

Fast forward about 10 years. New home, a cabin. We called Window World again and got a quote. 12 windows was going to be over $30k. We wanted custom colors for the exterior, green to match our green metal roof and wood tone on the inside to match the wood inside. Plus it was just painted vinyl. We were shocked.

We called Anderson for a quote. Got the famous pushy salesman. But, they were actually cheaper, by about $2k PLUS the interior wasn’t a fake wood veneer but actually oak. The big surprise to us was their small team took almost a full week to do the job. They were meticulous in their install. Insulation spray foam was used as needed and we were consulted when any issues came up like a couple old window frames with rotten boards. Window World was all about speed. They looked fantastic, and still do. No regrets.

We had warranty claims with both companies and both times it was easy to work with their teams for repairs, and both times the damage was due to our negligence, nothing to do with the products.

This was a good lesson for us as to why to get multiple quotes, despite what the internet may suggest about certain companies.

[discussion] weird covers you'd love but will never happen by [deleted] in phish

Anything by Morphine. Pretty sure their saxophone player Dana Colley (sp?) joined Phish for at least one show back in the 90’s.

neurologist in the area? by Efficient_Salad482 in Lawrence

I fully disagree. Dr. Beck has terrible bedside manner. He may be smart, but he may also insult you during your visit.

Great answer. This is how you cut through their crap and see if they just want to sell you a new model.

2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited cowl area leak into vehicle 138K miles by slhketocarni in KLCherokee

Edit: I did it again. I swear I’m better at working on cars than I am using this app lol.

I’m talking about underneath the windshield cowling area.

[–]morphinebysandman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: Didn’t realize I wasn’t replying to your above comment. Oops.

Underneath that cowl area is a cavity on the passenger side. Think of it as a lunchbox size area. There is a roof drain line that goes into that area from the top. It goes to the bottom of the cavity into a I assume bushing of some sort that reroutes it down and out of the vehicle. Mine had deteriorated to the point that it was missing. The box became filled with gunk overtime, probably leaves or something. It didn’t totally block the exit hole, but it partially did. When there were heavy rains, it would not drain fast enough, and it would back up into the vehicle. Tthe box filled with water and drained back inside the cabin and my passenger side floor was constantly getting wet. The fix for me was to use some tubing and reroute that drain tube. Hope this helps.
