Yeah, I got tired of doing this so installed gutter guards. They make it harder to clean the gutters, but now that task only needs to be done every five or ten years.
So it’s really dirt? Not sand or salt? Dirt seems to be a much better option for the plants/lawns/etc near the sidewalks when spring comes.
Labeling is great! But I save my label maker for fancy pants uses. Blue tape and Sharpies FTW.
I started doing this then realized how much time and money I was wasting buying things that I already had (but couldn’t find). 'Am up to about 10 cases of thing now and still have more to organize. New cases are cheap compared to what they hold.
It is a joy to be able to lay my hands on just the right fitting when I need one now.
Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw a while ago…
“Join the one arm golfers and beat the world” (Accompanied with a depiction of an angry arm swinging a club at the ground.)
We just capped ours. We figured that more heat was escaping than we could ever generate in a fireplace.
Yeah, it takes some searching, but some auto parts stores stock just the blades themselves, not the entire arm. 'Lots cheaper and seems to work on my cars.
It appears that your wit is sharp!
A public good is a commodity or service that every member of a society can use without reducing its availability to all others. Typically, a public good is provided by a government and funded through taxes.
Examples of a public good include a town road, park, or school. National defense is a public good. A public good may also be a basic need such as access to clean air and drinking water.
I’m always grateful to find a “husband chair” whenever I go shopping with my wife.
Yeah, buying from physical stores also helps your local economy. Otherwise there’s eBay and Aliexe (spelling?)
For some time now I’ve been very successful at not buying anything from Amazon.
Is there an Aldi store near you? I’m finding good soy and oat milks there that are reasonably priced. How about a Grocery Outlet store? They occasionally have reasonably priced options too.
The transmission on my car has been slipping at low speeds now for years. It would be expensive to fix and I just don’t care that much. So what if I can’t accelerate quickly from a stop? The car still gets me around.
My trash company calls them trash carts. It’s taking a while for me to get used to that.
Or soy, or oat… I can’t believe I used to drink cow milk.
Oh, that makes sense. I may start doing that too.
Yeah, some people find that helps with the smell. My sponge was falling apart and irredeemably dirty.
What did the console say?
In true dull man fashion, I have a process: First let them drain upside down in the dish drainer for a few minutes. Then dry them with a thin towel. After that stand them (loosely) together with the opening facing up. (The orientation is important.) The last of their moisture will dry in a few hours (duration depending on how dry the air is). HTH.
