Ended up changing to a slightly larger unit. Literally everything in my house is electric, so should do the trick. Can’t hurt to have the extra juice.

Make sure you get 5-10 5gal gas cans. I have a similar machine and it burns close to 1gal/hour. If I had to replace it I'd go with a Honda EU2200 which sips gas. Extra power means extra gas, figure out what you need to run and size accordingly.

Thanks. I’m just going to run it through the softener as well. It’s 180 feet deep… so I’d assume a couple hundred gallons… I’ll probably on do 1 gallon 

If you check this site there is a volume calculator and quite a bit more...

Swedish Professor Says 5 Shots Of COVID Vaccine May Be Necessary

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,
 

While many people have bragged about being “fully vaccinated” after taking two COVID-19 jabs, a Swedish professor says that as many as five shots may be needed to combat falling immunity.

just over 5" in hanson

Seems like that could provide a business opportunity to open a few Antivax clubs. You could offer free drinks to anyone who could provide a positive covid test. 

For the "casedemic clowns"...

106 hospitals postponing elective procedures amid the COVID-19 resurgence

Hospitals cancelling scheduled elective surgeries again.

I have a relative that manages the Disaster Medicine unit at a really well known hospital. Even in this area the hospitals are way understaffed and overburdened. Just the other day she told us on average there are 2-3 patients in the hallway (ICU). 

It took 8 weeks for me to get date for a procedure tomorrow. 3 years ago I had the same procedure done 4 days after seeing the surgeon. Hospitals are very busy and understaffed. Lots of employees called it quits after the first 2 rounds.

thanks. Can the mixing valve be replaced easily if that is the source? Our shower is tiled.

There are serviceable parts (I'm no plumber) but many times you can access it by cutting the sheet rock from the other side. They also make remodel plates.

Wife took a shower this morning in 2nd floor tub/shower and we noticed some water drops in the downstairs breezeway coming through the tongue/groove ceiling. . Bummer. My thought is it's likely a leak around the fiberglass tub drain or possibly the feed hose to the shower head. The shower head would be easy access at the wall, but if it's the tub drain, then I think I need to remove the T&G downstairs to get access. Anyone have to deal with this before?

Most common is a leak between the tub and the floor. Make sure the silicon caulk is good all around the tub edges. Mixing valve is number 2. Drains rarely leak. Fill the tub (not much just in case) then open the drain and see if you see anything.

My co worker was on a zoom with the Naval Academy, one of his children is looking to attend and the question was asked if they would require vaccinations for incoming freshmen and they said no, not until they have final approval from FDA. 

My nephew  was waiting to start flight school for the AF. They made him do recruiting while he was waiting. Tell your friend that it is imperative that his child participate in all communications. Having your mommy and daddy speak for you was basically strike 1,2, and 3, killing your chances of getting into some of these competitive programs. He was amazed at the amount of parents that contacted him, but that made his job easier as he just tossed them to the bottom of the pile.

There making money on the financing that's why they will steer you away from your own financing.

They also can close the deal on the spot. Outside financing gives you a chance of backing out.

Drive in with your old vehicle, close the deal, and drive away in your new vehicle in a couple hours all the while never leaving that chair. 

As long as you know the rate you can get elsewhere you can usually get them to match it, or maybe even beat it.

Tough to tell from the pics but they look like leafhoppers. If they are, blast them with spinosad as they can spread disease.
