Are the other toilets in the House working ?

A load from another toilet could be downstream in the pipe and back up BOTH / ALL the toilets in the house

Yes the other toilet is working just fine.

Anyone planting tomato seeds this year? When should it be done? Am I too late?

 

[melensdad]

I'll watch these later to see what exactly he says. I've watched a few of his other videos before and he's usually OK but he seems to mostly deal in cheap Chinese crap. Midland is an American company but a lot of their radios are Chinese.

He seems to focus on:

BTech (Baofeng)
Wouxun
Midland

His reviews of the Wouxun seem to be the most glowing, but they generally are also on the expensive side of the spectrum. Most (maybe all) are superheterodyne construction, while the BTech and Midland are radio on a chip designs. BTech radios seem to generally have more bleed over between channels than the either Midland or Wouxun in his reviews. He suggests Midland is built like a tank, Wouxun is build very well, Btech not so much.

If I had to guess, I think he probably favors Wouxun over Midland.

Vinegar and baking soda seem to have eliminated the blockage. Seems to be flushing just fine now.

Definitely not too late.

Technically, January/early February. Start now, they'll pop around August.

Jedi would be so proud of me. Just .177ed a raccoon in the attic. Big sumbich. Anyone want to come over for a BBQ?

I'll try that next time instead of Miralax.

Back from daughters concert at the middle school tonight. Gotta travel to Kankakee Valley this weekend for her ISSMA competition. 45 minute drive each way for roughly a 7-10 minute performance, but it's around lunchtime so anyone know of any good restaurants in the area of the school down there?

Boundry Waters is my parents go to restaurant, that is in DeMotte. Yesteryears is always good, that is a little butcher that makes great lunches. If you go to Yesteryears, I suggest the italian beef and have them dip it. Best in the region. There used to be a bunch of places to eat around Kankakee Valley, but Covid did a lot of them in.
There is also Marcalla's right across the street from Kankakee Valley. Pizza there used to be pretty good, but I heard there are new owners.

I usually eat at SP19, but that's at Sandy Pines golf course. Boundary Waters is about all that I can remember.

I know some of the cooks at SP19. Could not pay me to eat there, and I'll leave it at that.

So what are these actually used for? Just a hobby or is there real usefulness?

HAM is useful when the other civilized networks go down. Most people think of end of the world type stuff but more often scenarios is when the big telecom can't handle the traffic.

Best scenario jedi has is very large gatherings especially around indy when they had the colts game/concert.

Cellphone towers were down due to huge demand on network traffic. So peeps could not get a call out or text msg since tower's were overloaded with traffic.

Those that had ham radios could communicate with their parties no issues.

Hasn't been Big R for quite a while. It's changed hands/companies a few times. Always the same merchandise and setup, so I would assume it still does.

I worked at the Big R in Portage way back in the 1990's in the lumber dept. and did deliveries.

@melensdad

In a real shtf HAM with or without a license will be the way to go. FCC is not going to hunt you down for not having a license when the shtf.

Plus having a HAM radio you can always listen in on stuff even if you never transmit.

My grandson and granddaughter will be there also for middle school orchestra competition.

Make sure you use the blood as your war paint so the other trash pandas will fear you.


Good work on getting rid of the first one!

I planted at that time last year and they were too tall and leggy by the time it was time to plant. ???? OK looks like we're buying plants. Sonofa...

 

[Snapdragon]

Definitely not too late.

OK, maybe I'll go for it.

 

[d.kaufman]

Your good. No need to start seeds any earlier than now being you wont probably be able to put in the ground till mid to late May. We just started ours this past weekend
