Re: Flower Pot Irrigation
I have several 9V battery powered timers that I use. One waters plants on the patio via a drip system and the other waters 4 citrus trees in my side yard. Both attach to the hose bibs. https://www.orbitonline.com/collections/hose-timers This reminds me that I have to replace the batteries in both an...

Re: The Cook Islands

Since it was pre 9/11 I was able to hang out on the flight deck for a few hours and visit ...

Re: The Cook Islands
Thanks for the Links Grumpy! I do a LOT of snorkelling around these parts so have my own gear. Especially Mask & Snorkel!!! The snorkeling inside the reef was almost as good as outside of it. Corals better outside but fish the same inside, just smaller. Only disappointment was lack of pelagic fish ...

Re: Desktop Won’t Wake Up
All that I had was an old iPad that has a very tired battery. They want almost what a used iPad costs just to replace the battery. ~X( Consult YouTube, see if there's a step-by-step guide to replacing the battery yourself. I've done that to a few phones and laptops, although we don't have Apple pro...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
At a previous place of employment I had numerous encounters with The Rich, The Rich and Famous, Those Who Thought They Were Famous, and quite a few other types.

Re: The Cook Islands
Went on a dive trip there '96 or '97. We stayed at one of the resorts and did one or two 2-tank dives a day outside the reefs. The rest of the time was either snorkeling in the lagoon, riding scooters around the 4 X 5 mile island, or drinking beer in the pool. Food and beer at the resort was very ex...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Neighbor across the street recently had an additional foot or so of insulation blown into his attic. I was there when he was getting a spiel from a different insulation installer who quoted ~$10,000 + for the job. A different installer did the job for less than 20% of the first quote. I plan to have...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
First official 100o F temp. recorded today.
I have managed to not use the A/C yet as overnight temps are cool enough to leave doors and windows open then close them as OAT equals indoor temp.
Not looking forward to electric bills when 24/7 A/C will be necessary.
