OT-What are you buying right now?

You wouldn't think it, but ultra-pure water does not taste good.

That's why bottled water companies get mineral water as the source or make pure water and augment it with minerals (whatever that Coke brand is does this).

I make my own water for coffee by using Distilled water as a base then adding back Sodium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom salt).

For brewing I just use toilet water. I use the distilled water concoction for my espresso machine to keep the Calcium hardness at zero to prevent scale. People spend thousands on reverse osmosis filtering systems for their home when it's a lot easier and cheaper to just buy a small box of Arm & Hammer and Epson salt.

Impressive whatever that is.

I see cheap RO systems for under $200 at Costco all the time. Good for low volume needs. Depends on your water quality on how much money you'll spend maintaining them. If you're pulling in toilet water, you're going to go through a lot of resin and carbon filters.

Linner. Traveling east from. The left side of the US.....who can eat right between the flight times and the time zoneies. Having a nice red wine....I’ll get by.

Agreed 100%! When we first bought out 5 stage reverse osmosis system it took some time to get used to... I was on the fence about it for a few months, I changed the sediment filter and never looked back, it was disgustingly dirty...

There’s different recipes depending on the hardness profile you’re aiming for, but I’m following .65 grams of Epsom and .23 grams of baking soda per gallon. You need a digital scale that measures to the .01 gram. So each container should last me for the next 10 years at the 2 gallon per week usage I’m at now.

That's considered a large vehicle over here, they are too long for standard parking spaces at the supermarket!

Trucks are street queens these days. I bet less than 10% ever see more than a kid’s playset in the truckbed. Even fewer see offroad or tow anything of substance.

I would agree with you and @fishlessman, mine is a DD most days and 9-10 months out of the year I could have probably gotten away with a mid size truck or car. But that little voice in my head said "bigger, more power, v8" haha. I don't go off road much, seldom for work but sometimes during duck season. We also just had a kid and I like that little man can't kick my seat from his car seat in the crewmax! There's plenty of times I am glad I don't have to put muddy duck hunting gear, crawfish, bait, gas, and my excessive amount of fishing gear in our honda accord 😁. I like to park in the grass sometimes too 👀, but at least I don't have mud tires!

Here in Texas they are the new luxury vehicle. You have people with significant wealth that used to buy a Lexus or Mercedes now buying $80K Platinum or King Ranch F250's, putting Black 22" rims on them with offroad tires and the most offroad they will see is when they accidently curb check it parking at the local Kroger. 

I just sold $10k worth of company stock and will turn around and purchase it again inside my 2018 ROTH IRA once Fidelity releases the funds. Took a $2 loss per share... hopefully the stock price will drop by $2 before I repurchase.

I think it only takes 2 business days. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question.
