RE: Boondocking AC

Blast invented a Rapid Cooling System that uses water to cool down the incoming air, then pumps out freezing cold air on the other side.
Right. Freezing cold air from water evaporation. What division of physics does that come from?
Reminds me of the old "incredible gas mileage" ads using magnets.

RE: Solar Panel Height

Mine are at a height of maybe an inch or two, as determined by the standard commercial mounts that allow tilting. They've been up there for a decade, in almost constant sun, in 90F or more temps (not Death Valley heat) and my rubber roof shows no signs of heat damage.
What I love about solar panels, other than the obvious, is they actually protect your roof from damaging sunlight.
The panels that scare me are the flexible ones I see plastered directly on a roof. Those things get really hot.

RE: Pets are sensitive and caring

It was hard, very hard for me when we lost her to old age,.Yes it sure can be. I have to be careful as to what rescue videos I watch, because if the animal doesn't make it I can get real sad.

RE: Pets are sensitive and caring

Great story. Cats are pretty darn smart. I go for walks with mine. I've owned a lot of cats but never thought to try to walk with one.

RE: Pets are sensitive and caring

Just saw a youtube about a cat in a hospice that knew who was about to die. She'd go to their room and get on the bed with them. Right every time.

RE: What do you use for an outdoor ground cover?

We have outdoor rugs that are a heavy weave and come in various sizes.One thing I make sure to do to keep my carpet healthy is to smooth out the ground underneath. As few rocks as possible attempting to tear holes in it!

RE: Hooray for Shark Bite fittings...

Sounds good! I have a couple small leaks I just put trays under because it's such a pain to not only get to them but to fix Pex. Thanks!

RE: Help! Hitch stuck in ball mount.

You can buy "grease" at all those places. No type, just comes in a little tub. I'm sure there are viscosity ratings, but dang, just get some grease.

RE: What do you use for an outdoor ground cover?

I use a regular old indoor house carpet. Heavy, expensive, but does the job. I got tired of replacing those 'Rv mats' that just disintegrate every year.

RE: Help! Hitch stuck in ball mount.

Lots of WD40 and jumping up and down on the bar. Also make sure the truck isn't "pulling" on the ball and creating more tension.

RE: image on phone

"I went into accessibility and turned off "Digital Secure" and the icon went away."
Hey, that worked! Thanks rlw... although I may not want to turn it off! I don't know what kind of security we're talking about. Guess I better look that up too.

RE: toilet

I'd just change the whole toilet. It's probably gross anyway! Just be sure to thoroughly flush the tank first!!!

RE: Besides Amazon where?

The Amazon drivers (never the same twice) get lost without their little devices.Amazon drivers? Not sure what that means. We have UPS and FedEx drivers.
I guess the post office is good or bad depending on where you live.
Still have your big orange kitty?

RE: DirecTV ABC E/W DNS Channels

Hmm.. my ABC west is 395, but I'm not technically DNS. My service address is LA, and it acts just like DNS. Have no idea if this is of any help.
