    iPhone recommendations

    That's what I have. I was very reluctant to leave the pixel phones behind. But I really liked the flip phone concept. When it first came out there was a promotion to get it for $300, so I got it. Camera sucks compared to the pixel, but other than that I like it. I try to do everything I can on...

    I don't know if I could ever not have a flip phone again. Folds up so nice and compact.

    Things that make you frown :(

    I was happy when my niece switched to selling ABC Bakers. Way more vegan options.

    Things that make you smile :)

    How do you like the battery backup? I'm close to pulling the trigger on getting them added to my solar system.

    I forgot to mention how heavy the tank is when it's busted. They start unscrewing easily towards the end and then drop and break toes, lol. Sounds like your pressure is set too high on the regulator. You probably only need 12-15psi. You should set the pressure on the tank before pressurizing...

    Heat pumps. Who's using them?

    That would be cool. I'm guessing air to air. They have cold weather systems that work well in any temperature new jersey can get down to. Just gotta make sure the person picking out the system knows what they're doing. But I'd definitely ditch the oil. I always hated working with oil, so dirty...

    that's your pressure regulator and backflow preventer, it's what fills the system with water. As long as it's filling the system with the right pressure I'd leave it alone. It actually looks fairly new.

    I've only ever changed them when they are bad, which is usually when the bladder ruptures.

    You'll have to see what pressure is getting into the system when you turn the water back on. If the pressure regulator is bad it'll allow too much pressure which will make the pressure relief valve spew water. If the expansion tank is bad the water won't have anywhere to expand when it heats up...

    Biggest loser

    Last week, for the first time in 3 years, I got up to 195 pounds. I can feel it. Clothes just aren't fitting right. So I decided I needed to start up the calorie counting again. It's been the only thing that allows me to drop weight. I think I have an addiction to food. Started counting the...

    Is the inflated Bike market finally crashing?

    My hospital is still giving employees 5 days paid time off for a positive test. People be saving their positive tests for when they need a few days off 🤣
