Re: Joke of the Day
And that is the scary part - BS info. Last year saw performance reviews have an AI “helper” added for better quality review. After writing one up for a staff member, I applied the bot and then went and edited back to reality as too much was made up.

Re: Genius or to lazy?
Can't resist this topic......Had trouble with my garbage cans. Every second or third week someone would knock them flying spilling the garbage all over the place. Found out it was happening to other houses in the neighborhood too. Had friend who was a lawyer, so I asked him what I could do, legally. Thought of buried 2x4 with nails etc. He said no, don't do anything that obvious and premeditated looking. Then he said you're doing interlock patio, around your back yard and hot tub area, right? Yes, I said. He said if you have heavy scrap put it in the garbage cans. I called the township works department about the extra weight. They said there might be a slight surcharge and a would I please put a note on top of them to tell the sanitation guys to watch their backs when lifting them. Done! Lawyer friend also said make sure the garbage cans are well within my property line - so I put them well in from the end of my wide laneway. Next garbage pick-up day I heard a gawd awful crash about 3 a.m. screeching and clanging. About an hour later got up to take a look. Grille, headlight and body parts all over the place. Tire drag marks. One garbage can two houses down. Couldn't see the other one but saw a trail of coolant and oil leading off into the night. Went for a drive the next day. No idea how the driver got about 20 houses away before the car failed. Guy on his front lawn was laughing so hard he could hardly speak. Said 4 teens got out of a late model BMW SUV that was basically destroyed. In a panic they called for a flat bed. Two days later a guy turned-up at my door saying his almost new BMW was a write-off and said I pay or his lawyer would smoke me. Showed him a picture of where my garbage cans were, my property line survey, the note regarding construction waste - with pictures of the job and the email from the works department. Told him he'd be getting a bill for the garbage cans and the litter clean-up if he went that route. Never heard from him again and never had another garbage can knocked over. There is a God and he approves of concrete and paving stones.

Re: Oil change question
I wonder if this would work well on our engines with the upside down filter?

Re: Battery discharge
Ras, you have the 270 like I do. Can you unscrew the battery box and take a picture of the wiring behind it? I did that so I could "map" the wiring...I was able to find which items were on the "hot" bus and which ones went through the battery switch. You may have some electrical parasites you are unaware of...

Re: Harbor freight
We got harbor freight deep and shallow impact socket sets for the shop some 20 years ago.
I wouldn't say I use them daily anymore but for over 10 years they were. Many times behind a 1" impact for those "break loose or break it off" situations.
Still going strong.
I needed a replacement 1/2" impact a year or so ago, pneumatic. Got their earthquake after reading some positive reviews. Really happy with how much power it has. Huge upgrade from my much more expensive kobalt it replaced.
Some of their tools are crap. Those have stood out as quality without breaking the bank.

Re: Pic Of The Day
This floating pier in Paducah Kentucky handles spring floods up to 50 feet. It's an impressive work of civil engineering. Now I understand why there aren't a lot of marinas on this part of the Ohio River!

Re: What did you do to your boat today
The Irish Mist soap bars apparently are good to keep out anything that shouldn’t be in there so I spread a few around will the boxes open. In spring there was a nice scent and they were moist so sucked a bit of humidity out of the air. The Bounce sheets - I unload half a box all through the inside - same idea to keep the air smelling nice. Stuffing them in the through hulls keeps out visitors also.

Re: Mildew and Mold Remover
@raybo3 - We had a thread about this a couple of years ago, but I can't find it. Bleach is fine for mold on non-porous service and horrible for porous surfaces like leather/vinyl.
The mold spores actually retreat from the bleach and just dive deeper into the surface, only to come back later. Not sure how the Xanigo preventer would work.
The 303 Mold remover I've been using seems to do pretty well in cleaning and keeping it from coming back.
