And other things.... 😂

I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea. I am retired military and at the time my provider was the USAF Academy and the surgery was done there.

I had cataract surgery done in 2016. I only needed it done on the right eye but they did both eyes so I would not need to wear glasses (I was very near sighted). Now I do need glasses for some reading of fine print but generally no need. The lenses I received were toric lenses so they they were able to remove most, but not quite all, of the astigmatism I have. The main thing I noticed, aside from not needing glasses, was how much brighter and more colorful everything became. The cataract had slowly stolen that and it was so gradual that I never really noticed. The post-surgery change was dramatic.

While not worded well, I think that when the article said 85+ first and 50- last the implication was that they would start with 85+ and work down in increments to the 50- group.

That is why I use the stuff the squirts a stream, and... one thing I learned in the Navy was to be aware of the direction the wind was coming from so you didn't, erm, well, you know, into it. 🤣

Had this exact same issue and was prepared to replace the pump. When I got into it I found that the filter on the suction side (intake) of the pump had a crack. Once I replaced that, the problem was fixed.

I don't know what kind of wasp spray you use, but Spectracide Wasp and Hornet works as promised and it shoots about a 25 foot stream. It contains chemicals that cause skin irritation (and eye) and petroleum distillates. Hit a person (or bear) in the face with this stuff and I promise you will ruin their day.

Have you contacted a dealer and/or the manufacturer?

There is a Face Book group called "Ham Radio Crash Course" where you find a number of resources to aid your studies.

Once you have a license take a look at Echo Link. It lets you DX without having to have a radio. I talk all over the world via Echo Link but you do have to have a callsign to even register for it.

In my opinion, no this is not a good choice to get into the hobby. This transceiver is for 10-12 meter bands and will require a General license to get the full functionality out of it. Your first level of license will be technician which allows you to operate in a very limited way on the 10m band, but allows nearly full operation in the 6m - 23cm bands with operations in the 2m and 70cm bands being the most common. So my suggestion would be getting a Baofeng F8HP which is dual band 2m/70cm for around $75 if you want to transmit once you have a license. If all you want to do is listen and you are getting the RCI-2950 for free or cheap (that pic looks like an older one) then go for it.

I am using Windy on a PC and it is the basic version.

Kind of what I was thinking. The one in here now now is an Atwood brand which is actually half again as much as one from MTI. Interestingly enough the MTI one says that it should be replaced every 60 months and has an End Of Life warning which I can find no information like that on the Atwood unit.

A couple of days ago we started smelling a propane smell in the RV. As it was a nice day, all the windows were open and the Maxx-Air was running along with the ceiling fan. I went outside and checked all the tank connections and pipes. The smell was strongest in the kitchen and I finally noticed that one of us had apparently bumped a burner knob on the stove and the gas was on. Now the stove was covered as we never use it, the cover is the platform for the induction cooker. Anyhow, once the burner knob was turned off the smell eventually cleared. What worries me is that we could smell it but the detector did not and it is just on the other side of the sink cabinet, maybe 4 feet away. Time to change out the detector do you all think?

You clearly do not have a dog! 🤣 We have a king and our dog takes up the bottom center portion of the bed as hers. Period. LOL

Now that is back, everything seems larger on my screen. Just this site and not others. Not complaining as it makes it easier to read without the reading glasses. 😄

Here you go, Jim.

Maybe they would if the people missing contact with their loved ones pushed hard enough. I sincerely doubt this setup would be that expensive.

Read about this this morning, seems simple and straightforward as a possible solution, a Hug Bubble from France.

Your choice, but IMO I think you need to change banking institutes. Mine with Chase can be found here and it applies to debit and credit cards. That is why I use the Gas Buddy card without a worry. That also applies to using the TRD Logistics card.

My lack of faith is when we dictate that people, especially in nursing homes, can not see loved ones. We can shop, we can dine (in some places), we can attend church, etc. but we can not attend to a loved one in a nursing home. At this point it is a family decision, not a government decision. I will say no more on the topic as I don't want to be placed in "jail".

Well, a friend and former coworker posted today that her grandmother died from COVID. She had just turned 103. Wow! The sad part was that she died alone due to COVID restrictions. I am so sad for her and the situation in general. I have no solution in mind I just know that we can not live in this lock down status. I am not convinced that the "science" or reality backs it up entirely.

Park we are in near Austin, TX has storage for $70.00/month. PM me if you want park name and address.

That link shows for a 6V light bulb. I have had good luck taking the bulb to an auto parts store and just match them up by eyeball.
