I bought the ace hardware decent ones.... looked just like the filtrete at half the cost.... I am ashamed to say I never thought of changing the filter during the summer..... I told you it is a boy job.... I feel sort of stupid though.... I know better....

I know how to hange i just messed up.... ugh.

And your lesson only cost $95. That's cheap in 2024. I presume you have a wall calendar. Mark the calendar with a filter to-do list. That's how I pay my bills. It works. Makes a system that works.


Mom changes her own filters. She'll be 92 on the 23rd.

I must be 1,000 pages back... I'm not going to try to catch up
My Mrs is my top priority...
She just got out of the hospital Saturday

No need to catch up RJ!!

We’re just happy that Mrs RJ is on the mend!! You got your priorities right - focus on her!!!

The dreaded hedge haircut recommenced today. My wife and I always argue over how to do this and I’m a stubborn guy so I refused to take her advice. And I was cantankerous about the whole project anyway.

This hedge trimmer is not terribly heavy but it’s completely unbalanced. It’s one of my least favorite jobs.

The hedge is like 15 feet wide and I use a large hedge trimmer to get as much as I can for the ground. Then we back the pickup and I put an extension (heh heh I said I use an extension) on the trimmer to get another 3 ft on it and give the middle a haircut. But my wife and I argued over the best way to do this.

But she had a best idea: take a piece of plywood and use it as a step on top of the hedge to get even further in (heh heh). It worked like a charm. I was basically using the plywood like a small surfboard.

That damned thing looks as awkward as my pole saw.


But, Stihl!!!

It happens. give yourself some Grace.
Learn and pay it forward for the next time.

Well I’m glad it was nothing serious.

Change them filters out!! When we had forced hot air I swapped out the filters right around Christmas and then again at the end of the season.

Similar to smoke detector batteries: New Year's and 4th of July

Filters? Maybe Thanksgiving, St. Patty's and 4th of July

And those online calendar reminders?

Keeping up and/or catching up is not a requirement here at the café. Pop in when you can! Love to see you!!
to you and Mrs. RJ
Hope she's on the mend and you're getting enough sleep and other self-care, too!!

Using the heated seats is an ingenious way to deal with your back pain!

And 24 INCHES???

There were some areas of the state that received 37” in 3 days.

It’s a great machine.

But not well balanced.

And doesn’t have to take direction from my wife.

 

[Missk_2022]

Urgh. That’s terrible.

I’m hoping you were able to get it fixed today.

Yep... all warm now.... it was stupid. Dirty filter was tripping a sensor..... so dumb

Cleaning out the septic filter?

When I turn on the outside hoses and when I turn them back off.

Fire detector batteries: when the clocks change.

Wow! And I am sure it’s a lot earlier than normal, I think.

Yet another reason you need a spanking.

Yep... I have qn alarm on my calendar in my phone!!

 

[ImpishSeraph]

Probably the soy sauce

I'm not sure but it was super salty. I switched to amino acids, so maybe I'm just not used to it anymore.

 

[dkak001]

It’s a great machine.

Looks like the same as my pole saw, weed trimmer, yard broom, leaf blower, brush cutter, rototiller so you can rest medicine... Wait, we're not talking NyQuil are we?
And yes, I have the extension too.

It is, now we probably won’t get crap until after the new year.

Look at the MERV number, and get something similar. If you know the size and MERV number, you can order on line and get a case of them pretty cheap. (A lot cheaper than local hardware stores)
Higher MERV rating = filters smaller dust. Too high and it plugs up too soon, to coarse and it doesn't filter well. I think I'm running merv 11 or merv 13, depending on which furnace. Just use the number your furnace guy selected for you.

You said amino acids. Heh heh.

How is that dirty?? Am I missing something?

Isn’t amino acids in cum??

Maybe I’m wrong. Now I gotta google it.

Tell me what you put in your google search!

I do like my cum (sorry if that was inappropriate for this thread)


No I'm not....

I have a love/hate relationship with my pole saw. I bent the bar last I used it. Not sure yet if I can straighten it. I probably can. I'll likely have a workout for it next we prune the West 40 treeline when I'm Out West.
