My wife and I tested positive today on the covid topic. I had a very mild sore throat on Sunday night, which in retrospect was probably the start of my symptoms. Monday it was presenting as allergies with sinus congestion and drainage with the usual odd coughs/sneezes. I kept going to work as...

Glad to hear your on the mend. My mother in law and bother in law both got it last week. Mother in law was vaccinated and had fatigue but was over it in a few days. Brother in law isn't and he's still laid up 10 days later. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I've tried a few in the past, but in my experience they were coil killers and I'm lazy when it comes to rewicking in a timely fashion. Speaking of discontinued, I finished my last can of thunder berry this week. Sad it's no longer available. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I saw diysupply had ry2 and ry3, no ry1 though. It's probably about time I've tried something else as it's been an all day everyday mix for about the last 6 years. I used to make a vanilla tobacco mix, but I don't remember which vanilla it was. I grabbed a couple to try, so hopefully it'll be...

Hopefully the renewal fees are inexpensive or your boss helps you out with it. I remember my friend saying the initial classes/testing were pretty bad. He was doing it all out of pocket to get away from purely welding for the rest of his career. I don't recall where I've seen you mention Bull...

Happy new years! Hopefully this one's less of a crap shoot. I got a tetanus and Pfizer booster on the 27th also. My birthday was the 28th, so my plan was using potential side effects to have people not bother me for a day. I was a little achy and had a headache until the 24 hour afterwards...

I can't speak to the other auto makers, but GM has a battery plant in Michigan and they're building another in the US currently but I don't remember where. It's in partnership with LG. Still have the lithium mineral problem as you mentioned. Yeah, just transferring carbon from vehicle exhaust...

They gave up a ton during the bankruptcy in the name of job security. Anyone hired after Jan 1 2007 was a tier 2, topping out at $10 less per hour, comparatively bad health insurance, and no retirement benefits. We got the wage and health insurance back, but not after retirement or the pension...

When I first got transferred to Flint, gas was $4.25-ish. The amount I saved in just gas moving down here paid most of my mortgage, and the car I had at the time got roughly 32mpg. I certainly don't want to go back to that. I'm caught in a weird spot. GM says it wants the whole fleet electric...

When we helped my wife's grandmother move, we ended up with her hoard in our garage. It's just knick knacks and other assorted junk, but my wife wants to have a garage sale. I've been trying to convince her it'd be way less hassle to just get a dumpster and heave it all in. No one wants all the...

My wife and I are helping (aka doing everything) her grandma sell her house after moving into an apartment. It was on market for 72 hours before getting 3 offers $30k over asking and $80k more than it was purchased for 5 years ago. We live a few miles away, so the realtor has been at our house...

PITBOSS-USA.COM These the Pit Boss grills you're talking about? The current sale apparently has all their grills under $100. Seems too good to be true, but I kind of want to take a risk and order one. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

When I swapped the battery in my Buick I hooked my battery charger up to the fuse panel under the hood to keep juice flowing and that worked for me. Is it a keyless Ignition? My Buick has a slot under the rubber in the cup holder that you can put the fob in to start it if the fob battery is...

When I first got the house my wife and I were 26 and 25. He was the first neighbor I met and said something along the lines of all the neighbors were worried we were going to be loud/have parties being less than half the age of everyone else. Then he immediately started complaining about all the...

Whenever we go to move it's definitely going to be more remote/secluded. When we first moved here it was all retired folks had lawn care services. Now 4 of the 8 homes have younger families and another has two 20 year olds in it. The working folks with kids and other responsibilities that...

My neighbor showed up on my front porch yesterday with his hedge trimmer, scared the hell out of me because he didn't hit the doorbell or knock. I went out and he's asking if I have a hedge trimmer, standing not 2 feet from hedges I trimmed on Sunday. I point at the hedges and say yeah I have an...

There's nothing quite like diagnosing and solving problems to get that accomplished feeling. My friends sister has worked in the Secret Service for over a decade, and married a guy from the FBI swat team. He's a macho full of himself type of guy, but whenever it comes to fixing anything or...

A coworker told me that last week. Didn't work for me [emoji2369] I used a 10mm x 2mm neodymium magnet to give it a fair shot and still no dice. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Yep, no tile. Our soil back there is heavy clay so I'm guessing the sand/gravel is the path of least resistance. The very back starts to rise up again creating a bit of a bowl, and the trench cuts through that out to the lowest corner which adjoins the tiled field behind my house. I feel you...

We have a walkout basement, so our backyard has the two slopes that leave a low area that would have standing water and take ages to dry out with all the clay. When the guys were filling in the pool I mentioned that issue. They had a mini excavator, so dug a small trench from the low area...
