    Experts in magnetic and electric field strength: help with pacemaker safety

    I have suddenly acquired a pacemaker and have a vested interest in not having its programming stopped or reset by an external source! The information for the type I have says the field strength test limits are 6kV/m and 100uT or 80A/m. Another source says avoid strolling under high voltage...

    Dodged a bullet

    thanks to Apple Watch. Posting not to tout Apple, but to let some folks know of some useful features. If you have your watch on and your heart rate drops below a certain level, say 40 bpm, and you can set it, it will send you a notification. Mine did, and when I went to see doc it was high...

    Recall on RTV-X1100C utility vehicles

    This was in the last issue of Consumer Reports. The problem is floor mats that can warp and interfere with the throttle pedal, causing a crash. Call a dealer, or Kubota at eight 88-458-two 682. Mat will be replaced and fastened to floor if degraded. One still in good condition will be...

    One dirty spark plug on LP 2 cylinder generator

    I have a Dayton standby generator about 35 years old. It had its spark plugs changed for the first time about 3 years ago. The plugs were pretty clean still at that time. It had had a bunch of starting problems re!ated to the sensors and bad teeth in the starter motor gears. After those were...

    Source for decently fitting kitchen cupboards?

    I am trying to remodel my kitchen, and there are various woes associated with being old fashioned. I am constantly being told "they don't make them like that any more". Half the problems arise because the contractors I have gotten estimates from have their own pet cupboard sources, from whom...

    Anyone installed a stainless steel kitchen counter?

    I would like to replace my aging Formica counter top with a drop in sink with an all one piece stainless steel integrated sink, marine edges, L shaped one. They do this all the time in commercial kitchens. The advantage is no seams and corners to collect dirt and germs. They can be wiped down...

    I like how this guy thinks!

    Stock pile this idea, could come in handy. I've seen square bales piled up around the foundations for insulation around here in the winter, but never round bales. https://www.kplctv.com/2020/09/01/hay-bales-save-home-grand-lake/

    HVAC experts: question on detecting coolant leaks

    I have new Fujitsu heat pumps put in last October so this is first season for cooling. One outside compressor and three different Halcyon inside units. On one of the wall mounted units, I thought it smelled like antifreeze yesterday when it was running on "dry" mode. It seems to happen when...

    Checking up on ott neighbors

    Some folks if they don't log on for a while we don't worry, but these days it is a little different. Michigan is not doing well, especially southern part. Hadn't seen any posts from Flip for a while, he lives down that way. Called to check, he and Amy are fine. Staying in. Computer down...

    I screwed up again

    Sigh. I tried to put a handle up on a wall to use for balance going down the basement stairs, pried up the crumby paneling and peeked behind to make sure I had some wood underneath, thought I was good to go and drilled a pilot hole into a water line, probably part of the circulating hot water...

    Electricians: need some kind of recording clamp on meter

    My solar panel installation has turned into some kind of nightmare. Among other things I don't believe the fancy software that is supposed to monitor the performance of the individual panels, the two inverters, and the total AC kWh being supplied. It behaves erratically. Today it showed one...

    Snowflakes

    The term snowflake to describe a younger generation of kids is pretty derogatory, and several of us, me included, have had some pretty negative things to say about this age group. This blog writer has a different perspective...
