I was in the a/c business for too many years ....

I would tell the customer, " I can not fix it if it is not broke !" "it is working fine and making cold air, I can not improve on that !"

Truer words were never spoken!
A total failure could be traced. Random lulls in power while I'm riding.. not so much.

I mowed five lawns and then managed a short ride. I was by myself on my loops even though it was fairly nice. It reached the mid seventies but it was windy from the South. I probably experienced a dozen short power outages in my 25 miles riding. It felt great to be riding.

You can't debate without insulting. Just watch televised parliament.

And I hardly think "you wear a tin hat" or "you're a hippy" is insulting. I think your insult potentiometer is burnt out.

Tonight, the plan is to divide boneless skinless chicken thighs by their thickness, pound the halves with a meat hammer, and fry on the Blackstone in garlic butter. This makes great tasting sandwiches with finely chopped lettuce and mayo on butter toasted buns.

Warmer than yesterday with a stout South wind. Currently it is 51° with a high of 72° predicted. Tomorrow is to be even warmer.

The first week of the NCAA men's tournament is in the books. Round one saw a number of upsets and round two had it's share as well. There are sixteen teams left and after this week's play there will be four teams left. Out of the 26.6 million brackets filled out at ESPN, nobody has picked all the games correctly again this year. That's how difficult they are to predict. I have picked 38 of the first 48 games right which puts me one game up in my family group and I'm in 1,506,910th place at ESPN 🤣 It's all fun stuff.

OB, I was forced to retire in 99. Well, didn't actually retire until 2000 because I had a butt load of sick leave. I came home to raising my 2 girls. What I had trouble getting used to was the absence of adults to talk to.
Now, the girls are gone with kids of their own and it's just me and the Boss Lady.

Through the years, I made close friends in the construction business. We had a lot of laughs together, shared a few meals together, labored hard together to bring a project in under a deadline and to make the builder we were working for look good to his clients. Within a short span of time, we all retired and communication lines were severed. I miss the interactions with those guys. A couple of the group have passed away... maybe more. Unless you happen upon their obit, there isn't any knowing. It's a shame for they were a great bunch of guys. I worked around some of them for forty to fifty years.

I well understand the void left without that communication you speak of. Though they aren't necessarily friends, the people that I mow for and I have more than a tradesman / customer relationship. I will visit with them thirty or so times a year and I've mowed for most of them decades. I will miss those porch visits when I can no longer physically mow.

Random thought of the day: In my spare time I have mowed an average of thirty lawns a week, for an average of thirty weeks a year, for over thirty years. I've done a lot of grass through the years. 🤣

Instead of a factory reset, what if I put all my apps into Deep Sleep and reintroduce them one at a time or a small group by taking them out of sleep? My understanding is that deep sleep will cause them to not use any battery? I did go thru all my apps and made sure that only the system apps that need it have unlimited battery and all the rest are optimized. I found a couple that were set to unlimited but those were set that way before.

Any means to discover what might be draining your battery will work.
The idea is to make certain it's not a user installed problem before filing a warranty claim.

My wife's mother lives in a senior condo development in Massachusetts; when we visited her a couple years ago my wife was rinsing dishes after dinner and when she went to put them in the dishwasher, it was all full of dry goods. It still worked just fine, her mom had simply quit using the dishwasher other than for storage.

Our dishwasher was the second unit that I remodeled this fifties vintage kitchen to accommodate. It was getting old and not doing a great job. The kids moved out and it was just the wife and I. It wasn't a chore to simply do the few dishes we used vs letting a few days accumulate before running a load. I have not missed the appliance and truly love cabinet that took it's place.

The Harry & David stuff wasn't too bad. Wasn't very strong, mild. Worth a try. I am using a pod machine i got from Walmart, this is like my 5th or 6th one, I have also gone through two regular coffee pot machines

Click to expand...

And that was the dark roast.

Is this the pod machine?


It's quite popular and I've used it at friends and relatives. Probably the one I'd buy if I were ever to go to pods, but I just can't bring myself to do that due to the cost and the problem of the waste.

i love tea, but hardly ever get to have any

i will go through a box of 100 bags in no time

i even like the instant stuff when i can find it

but green tea tastes like dirt and i will just drink water

Salami; cotto salami, Swiss cheese with mustard on rye bread. My favorite sandwich treat. ( Behind a cheeseburger but that's another thread.)
Sardines; never saw boneless, skinless, headless and tailless sardines before.

Twinkies; hate them. Always have.

Y'all need to try chicken Gizzards.

ive had gizzards and livers
dont like the gizzards, that texture is just gross

ive had livers two different ways, really good and really bad

not worth the 50/50 chance for me

and sardines are just incredible
i dont know why Ocean Prince quit making the ones i liked so much

and i have tried many different kinds and almost never had any come to what i had for the time they made those

imagine sardines that didnt taste fishy
