    [NA]waterwell submersibles - repair or trash?

    Assume for residential use? The variable frequency pumps are pretty cool and high tech. That being said, the tried and true submersible with the standard pressure tank and pressure controls are very reliable and relatively inexpensive. Unless you have a unique application, the variable...

    [NA]waterwell submersibles - repair or trash?

    How old? Manufacturer/Model? What's wrong? Low pressure? Low volume? Trips circuit breaker? Runs continuously? No work at all? Rebuilding is becoming tougher and tougher. They just aren't made that way anymore. As previously mentioned, pulling the pump is the major labor cost. If...

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    Some sports are slower, more about the strategy. Sort of the pace things have been lately. https://mobile.twitter.com/mrandrewcotter/status/1248313303270596610

    Finally a voice of reason

    Good that you are testing as much as possible. Do have a question; You have yet to find a single confirmed case? Is there an issue with the test? Not sure how many serious illnesses you have (and have been tested), but if there are a lot of very sick people, either their illness is not...

    How y'all keeping in shape?

    ;) I'm adopting the "conserve heartbeats" philosophy. Since it is a fact that we all have a fixed number of them (don't know for sure how many I have left), figure I'll conserve what I have left by kicking back and relaxing.;)

    N95 vs paint mask

    Depends on the mask. Nearly all will have a rating printed somewhere on the mask/filter or the box. Your paint mask may be a combination, a particulate filter and an organic vapor cartridge. If so, and the particulate filter has the N95 rating, it will probably work just fine. The organic...

    On behalf of all us folks, we appreciate your effort!;) Would you mind letting us all know when that time arrives?

    The “what I did during quarantine” thread

    Since we are retired and no job issues to worry about, can't say this has changed things enormously. Sticking close to home and minimizing our social contact. Have two relatives that do have compromised immune systems, they are locked down pretty tight so I'm helping them a bit. My mom is 91...

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    Hmmm.... would think this would be helpful with the "herd immunity" aspect.

    Best Info on COVID-19 I have seen. Please read

    A reasonable position to take. Your last two sentences are really the heart of the matter.

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    I'll beg to differ. Fauci is but one of a good number of government employees that are truly good at their job and dedicated to service. Whether one loves/hates the President, one trait he does have, is recognizing what is in his best interest. Fauci and the team are necessary to the President.

    Please! Make it stop! (Stock market crash)

    Maybe, might start dipping in a small amount at that level - that being said, I suspect the markets will be a mess for at least a few months. We still have not seen large (+millions) numbers of people sick and unable to work. If that happens then it gets dicy, so far it is as though everyone...

    Toilet Paper

    On the TP supply, here in SE PA, both Staples and the local Ace Hardware had pallets of the stuff. The local family-owned supermarket was out of TP - but had plenty of Victory Brewing Hop Devil - I'm good!!

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    I've heard various people and groups use the term Chinese Flu. As said, some do use it as a slur, other do not. Some take inordinate glee in pointing out - "hey, he used Chinese Flu - bad man". In a perfect world, I'd be happy if we just used COVID-19, but it just isn't that big of an issue...

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    There is a fine line between hysteria and reality, particularly when an epidemic is concerned. Not sure "lies" is the correct word. Mis-information, spin, and political "gotcha's" - certainly. Any more it is harder to tell the difference between the "good" media and the "bad" media. They all...

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    Can't say I believe that the use of "Chinese Flu" rises to the level of hate and cultural warfare. We've often used place names to describe diseases - Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Spanish Flu (which has credible evidence to have originated in Kansas). No doubt some use the term...

    Please! Make it stop! (Stock market crash)

    Agreed. Once this initial hysteria is over, and people realize that they can still get milk & eggs, much of this hoarding behavior will subside. Downturns tend to be sudden and drastic, recoveries take years.

    Please! Make it stop! (Stock market crash)

    Don't believe it is time to abandon all hope... that being said, it probably depends on each persons situation, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. Since so much of stock pricing is emotional and based on uncertainty (and there is lots of uncertainty) waiting this out is IMHO, the best...
