"MBAs of the world, unite!" We need to invade their annual suare and give everyone of them a giant wedgie and shove their faces in dog doo. I also believe that anyone who designs any mechanical device or vehicle should be forced to service them for a year, so they'll know what SHOULDN'T be...

One problem here is that the bill for my duplex shows two fees that are twice as much as a single family home and when I traded messages with the Mayor (small city), he thought I have two water mains and sewer laterals. It's not a lot per quarter, but over more than 25 years, it adds up. We have...

I'm trying to understand why my water bill is $200/quarter when average use is only 4,000 gallons. I mean, I know why- it's all of the fees for environmental, sewer, etc but it's ridiculous. And I can't have a well because of the water quality in this area.

The slab is behind my garage and the only time enough air moves is during high wind. This may be a moot point, though- the cost of living here has become unaffordable- the shiny new property tax and water bills arrived and the increases are insane, so I'm not staying here.

Right- the cloudy water/Ethanol layer and the gas on top- I wrote that mine was just gas on top of liquid water and it was only cloudy after shaking the bottle, but it settled out later. There's no milky layer and in phase separation, the only way to remedy it is to remove the layer with...

I plan to build some kind of structure for the slab with enough height to allow me to put the push mower over the rider's shroud. That way, I can store it lower and prevent me effing up my shoulder, like I did a week ago Sunday. I haven't decided on the exterior, but I think T-111 may be a...

Nope. Phase separation is a milky layer of mixed Ethanol and water. This was just water that settled out of the temporary mixture. For all I know, they may have used gas without Ethanol and it was exactly the same as what I used to see before we had to use that crap.

I removed almost all of the gas and ran it dry, but I do add StaBil for gas with Ethanol. It's really not hard or time consuming to do this stuff and I had lubed everything when I got it. Battery is out, tires are up, engine is fogged. Twice, since I had to start it in order to go over the edge...

I don't have enough space in my garage and the city wanted too much $ for permits and inspection to build a bump-out, so I need to store my mower on the slab behind my garage, covered. I stored my snow blowers there, under a tarp, and they're fine. I have serviced boats for a long time and...

I knocked the chute off of the pivot rod- that's when I found out they used a crappy clip at the end. I'll be drilling the hole over Winter since I removed the chute before I parked it. I'll also thread the end of the rod, so I can use a nylock nut. It would be great if WE didn't need to make...

I cut the grass once, then bought a bagging attachment- too much stuff left on the lawn. I don't cut every week and I tend to leave it a bit longer, so the roots can grow deeper during dry periods and the first time was THE first time on a riding mower, so I didn't know what I needed to know...

Blue StaBil is made for with Ethanol- their site shows that the red is too, but I have read that it's not as good as the blue. I have all three- they also make an amber version and while I don't leave a lot of gas in the tank of anything, my engines all start easily. Draining a tank isn't so...

If the first person on the phone is clueless, I ask for a higher tier of support. I work in Audio/Video/Networking and major brands that once had people who really knew their products, even going back decades, have gone on to some other job, likely thanks to COVID layoffs. They filled seats...

They can't provide T-Shirts with 'Righty-tighty- lefty loosey'?

I managed to do something that required my removing the chute and it has that stupid little retainer- why didn't they use a bolt and nylock nut? I know, I know, "Cost down", but c'mon!
