Great machine. So up until July we covered DC-Maine, we got purchased by a bigger company the end of July and are now national. Depending on where you are "on Earth" either my team or our parent company may be able to help.

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

Nice, been researching fire pits myself. Can't decide if I want to buy a metal one or build one from stone/blocks.

I am actually going in the opposite direction, slowly removing all the supplements I take. I no longer take a multi-vitamin, Vitamin C, Fish Oil, etc. I am continuing my daily Osteo-BiFlex for my achy knees so I can stay on the tennis court, but that's it. I did recently start Collagen Peptides Powder with Hyaluronic Aciddaily. I've been on it for a few weeks and have not noticed any changes.

This is good stuff to keep joints and skin supple, I don't really need it though I go cycling regularly.

What's your reasoning for stopping the supplements?

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.
