FWIW: You can buy 30% vinegar which is about 6X stronger that grocery store vinegar and will kill just about anything. It will also burn your skin so be careful if you use it.

I think cryptosporidium, and crypto currency are very similar.

Thanks for the above - the sale is a done deal, so no recourse there. I checked the softened hardness today with my Hach kit and it's 8-9gr. I didn't check the untreated water so I don't know what I'm starting with. I check that tomorrow. I did a manual regeneration and that seemed to work...

I'm purchasing a new (to me) house. It has a softener installed, with the bypass valves only opened half way. Is there any reason for this? In my previous homes the valves were always opened or closed. The valves are plastic and very stiff and it's going to take a wrench to turn them. I...

I've lived in 3 different communities. The first was older and had above ground power lines and we lost power during bad storms. One time for 3 days. The joke in the neighborhood was that everyone had camping equipment but no one went camping. The last two have had buried lines and we've...

I run any gas I can get for most of the year. For the final fill up before winter I use non-ethanol in my small engines. FWIW: I've never had a problem with either.

Great song. His falsetto is as good as Frankie Valli.

I vote for Apple. After noticing several $9.00 - $11.00 Apple charges on my CC statement (we buy nothing from Apple except our phones) I contacted them for an explanation. It was impossible to get past the computer which said it couldn't find them - even with the 4 digit reference #. I...

FWIW: My BIL and SIL are both 65 and give and receive ducks with other Jeep owners.

I'm always puzzled that the phone # attached to the text has a foreign country code - the last one was from Estonia. I'm surprised that the scammers can't do a better job.

I agree with the above. I've had Mulvad for two years now with no problems.

Old joke. When I heard it it was a printing press, a hammer blow and a $100.00 charge: "One hammer blow-$1.00, knowing where to hit-$99.00"

FWIW: I had the same issue when I had my unit serviced. I told them not to worry about the Cap. I bought a US made one from Grainger for about $40.00 and replaced it myself. I do think that people should be fairly paid, but I can't help thinking that service charges are one of the reasons...

I was on board the Saratoga during it's WestPac cruise in 1972. On that cruise I actually saw an incident where they brought a plane up from the hangar deck to the flight deck. Unfortunately there was a helo parked too close to the edge of the elevator with it's tail rotor folded and over the...
