    I just concluded a lose-lose couple of conversations with the local water and sewer company.  Background:  Did some landscaping work that included several yards of new sod installation.  Thus lots of water application (auto timer water valves are quite handy).  Monthly usage went up by a factor of four last month.  
    Sewer company bills on the water company usage data and escalating charge rate.  Water company will not adjust the usage data to the sewer company even though the water never got to the sewer system.  F' me.
    Several years ago you could negotiate with the water company and get them to adjust the quantity billed to the sewer company.  Not so around here any more.  Just venting here.  
    That stinks!   I think our water and sewer department can put a meter on the irrigation line.  That number gets subtracted from the main water meter when calculating sewer bill.

    Just removed the spark arrestor on my Stihl blower. I didn’t realize how much power it had lost over the last 4 years it was running at probably 60%. 5 minutes and back to full power.

    If you want to, heat the screen red hot with a propane torch and brush the ash off after it cools.  Be sure your air filter is clean, too.  Extended idling is also a factor.

    I saw about cleaning it but then I saw you could just cut it off and my dremel already had the metal cutting blade on it so that was easier. The air filter you just hit it with soap and water and a tooth brush or something? Its a weird filter on the SH86C its not a flat sponge like most yard equipment filters.

    Setting up a game of Kubb:


    Awesome Game! We have a Kubb league in our sleepy little town. SMKL (St Marys Kubb League). Last year, before COVID we had 16 teams. I didn't realize the game was so popular.

    Not saying it's dirty, since I can't see it!  The pleated filter can be washed in a mild detergent solution, rinsed from the inside with water (like from a hose with no spray handle on the end) and thoroughly dried before reusing.  If I couldn't see light through it, I just buy a new one.

    You on a wok roll @SciAggie.  Nice plate of vittles right there. For a little texture and color try adding some 1/2’d zuke coins and thin carrot slices.  May not be traditional but very good. 

    I use that site all the time and have yet to find anything I didn’t like.

    It is also known as Viking Chess. Legend has it the early vikings invented it and played with the bones of their victims. Very stragic game. 
    It is also desirable around here because you can hold a beer in one hand and still knock em down :)

    Way too complicated for 3 standard deviations of forum denizens, especially if they are from Florida or actually like the Atlanta airport.
