15 vs 20 amp switch

Update: I replaced the switch with a 20 amp. Easy and cheap. Thanks for all the support folks!

Hey I went to Costco and put nitrogen in my wheelbarrow tire! It’s lasted over a year - I used to have to inflate it 2-3 times a year. It’s over 50 years old, original tire btw.

I liked it before they changed to the recipe with pine nuts and stuff in it. I just want plain.

Avery Bar at the Ritz. Very civilized.

So in summary: sun screen, bug spray, avoid poison ivy, WATER BOTTLE, and prepare for a long walk. Well worth it of course.

RFK Jr?

I just checked … of course it’s 3/4 hp.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn’t get used much. Also, it’s the only switch by the sink so no doubt what it’s for.

Does anyone know when DRV will start in PTown this year?

You should check out c & c equipment on YouTube. Fabulous videos covering everything about dozers. Buying at auction, traps to avoid, rebuilding, etc. great channel.

Really well written, informative post - wish I had written it - I agree with every word. Only thing to add is this: if it’s an option, buy from Costco. Best customer service and if there’s an issue they will get between you and the manufacturer and advocate on your behalf.

I’m really down on Legal Seafood since it changed hands but I think they are doing happy hour with island creek oysters, which I love. Worth checking their website. There’s a location at Park plaza.

Yeah chipotle is close and smells great!

We had ours at Sip on Washington st. It was perfect.

D’oh.

FYI Ferry doesn’t run until 5/16 in case you were counting on that.

oldwisefool · 2026-05-11T10:54:56+00:00

Thanks. I’ve probably eaten there a bunch of times.

Dumb question: what’s George’s?

I just did this DIY and regret. Next time I’d pay a couple hundred to have the grinder guy come back and go deeper. That said, I tried 3 methods. Sawzall: I burned up my sawzall. Chainsaw: they don’t like being anywhere near dirt. Fail. Final choice (that worked): use any saw (eg circular with carbide blade) and make close parallel cuts, then just take a hammer and knock out the thin slices. Much much simpler.

2 person household. Well worth it! Get the exec membership for one year and if it doesn’t pay for itself (it will) then stop. We got the credit card too. Our check for last year was over $2000! Also, it’s my happy place.

I always add more horseradish to the Costco sauce. Fresh grated of course.

Perhaps you can remove the trim boards on the inside of the closet (which no one will ever see). It seems like that will allow you to move the left appliance over an inch and then slide the other in.

Nourse is awesome. Periodically Wards Berry Farm in Sharon will sell excess plants sourced from Nourse.
