If nothing else, I'd be happy to price-check it for you. You should be getting more than 3-5 out of a T-12 or a condor (we just replaced our condor in our own warehouse after 12 years with an SC6500 due to supply chain delays). We tell people the "average" life cycle is 7-10 years, but with a proper PM plan (we're a service company too) 10-12 isn't unusual. at at that point they're probably still in decent shape, but like a car the cost to maintain becomes such that a good business decision is to replace or make it your "backup" machine makes more sense
PM'ing you.

Does your refrigerator have a filter on its water line or internally that hasn't been changed recently?????

It does have a filter and has been changed. Maybe "weird aftertaste" is a bit strong. I just prefer the taste of bottled water, but hate that I'd have all these plastic bottles. This bottle SEEMS to make the water taste a little better.

not sure if you have done this, but you need to cycle new filter before you can drink water.

depending what manufacture, if i can recall correctly you need to cycle the filter thru 1-3 gals of water. you can see the water go from cloudy to clear.

Our well water is not really potable, so we have a half dozen or so 5-gallon water cooler bottles delivered every two weeks. Even using bottled water, water coolers need to be cleaned every 4-6 months. Ours has a self-cleaning overnight ozonation cycle, which seems to make the water taste better after the cycle ends and a few gallons have flowed through.

That bottle is a little too expensive for me, but has made me start looking through the electronic parts catalogs to see if I can find a 280nm UV-C LED to make my own UV Yeti for when my WFH ends.....

Yeah it's not cheap. But I looked at it as, if it keeps me hydrated without me constantly using plastic bottles, that's a good investment.

Decided to go cordless for my impact and upgrade my drill, I already have a couple of their lawn tools so stuck with the brand.



Oh and behind them is what I plan on using the impact on, the entire front suspension for my girlfriends VW CC.

I bought beautiful hand made stemless wine glasses. Will update with pics Monday because I’m old and don’t know how to do from my phone. Anyway.. they are beautiful but me no like. I wanted the regular wine glasses but they were out of stock so I’m on the waiting list. A wine glass needs a stem, damn it!

But since you're old, perhaps it's safer to use stemless wine glasses. I kid!

I bought my youngest daughter a VW CC as her first car 3 years ago. I LOVE that car! It rides great up to triple digit speed, is very comfortable to drive, handles fairly well, and looks decent

yes, I know it's not an M3, or an S4... but as a $5000 car that (was) 6 years old with 65,000 miles they're great cars

Nice, been researching fire pits myself. Can't decide if I want to buy a metal one or build one from stone/blocks.
Stone/blocks all day. Metal ones can warp and rust over time, and they look tacky imo. Trust me, I own one. I much prefer the fire pits I make while camping. Still make them narrow enough to accommodate the grille that I borrow from said metal fire pit..
