    Dog Food Recipe

    MOST "human grade" food is no better than dog kibble. Even the "USDA Organic" seal is almost meaningless if you care about actual quality of the food you eat.

    Fr8star Shipping Review

    Avoid shipping brokers and try to deal with an actual shipper is my best advice. Had a 40' container moved from to NH to MO and the driver was awesome, the broker (Nationwide Transport Services LLC) was the biggest a** hole. They made $1500 from me, giving me a hard time. Never again.

    FWIW. In the 16 months we have lived here so far, I have replaced 4 out of 5 of the blue hydrants ($50) that were no more than 5 years old. They all cracked in the brass valve at the bottom. Spend the money and buy ($160) something decent. I already bought the 5th ones replacement..

    Finding a water leak in a buried line

    I have the same situation. But only have too dig 2'. I was thinking of installing a ball valve half way down the line to test each side and narrow down the amount needed to dig.

    Does it matter what brand box scraper/box blade I get for my BX23S?

    FWIW, I use my neighbors BB1260 on my BX23S and it works great. That extra 2' helps.

    Heat Dome

    China and the UAE seem to be doing a good job with it. What they dont talk about (right now) is spraying aluminum particles into the atmosphere then energizing them to heat the air so they can intensify/steer storms.

    Heat Dome

    More fear terms are: "BOMBogenisis" or "atmospheric RIVER" or "RAPID intensification" Cloud seeding went from conspiracy theory in june to the first thing denied (wasn't us) after a major flood in july.
