I'm jealous. you know i wanna come play in your basement sometime. I love that stuff. A friend of mine heats his house with an outdoor wood boiler. His basement looks like the inside of a submarine. some cool shit going on down there too.

Hybrids are great. I have NG, which is crazy cheap now, but of course that can change. Probably in the near future i will need to be looking at this closer as the HVAC in the house was probably installed 10 years ago.

Kinda depends if you have to replace the air handler as well. Lots of people will tell you that you have to replace both, but its not always the case. Unless you have someone you really trust, get a couple different quotes/opinions. Research what people want to sell you as well. There are "RTM" systems, and then there are really good systems. Inverters and multi stage equipment are where efficiency is as. Heat pumps arent a bad way to go either. with oil heat i would take a good look at them. With gas at its current price, it might not be as enticing. I'm a huge fan of heat pumps. They have come a long way.

i broke down and turned the air on in the house yesterday.

didnt it sort of kinda rain like hell in your area yesterday? Dont worry. I've had our trucks buried in areas we had no reason to be, only justified by "it was a long walk to where we were working, so i thought i would get the truck closer."

That doesnt sound Epic.

Like steam trains and submarines, bald eagles fascinate me. I have been watching these guys for a few months, they were hatched like late march or April. https://hdontap.com/index.php/video/stream/hanover-bald-eagle-nest-live-cam

I was looking at that too. i am wondering if its a tropical illusion that it looks like that. Or, his yard is really the retention pond,, and when it fills up to the height of that drain, then it goes down the drain, probably to another retention pond. These days zoning laws and whatnot are super crazy. Basically, they want all of the water that falls on your property, to stay on your property. I was trying to build a garage at my hold house. the shit was starting to make my head spin.

do you actually mow this twice, or the opposite way each time?

to you, i'm sure. Do what i do when you and salty are going back and forth about fruit roll ups, or yoohoos or tampons or whatever. Stop reading.

The ratio of weedeating VS lawn to cut is high at my house. i sort of have 3 seperate pieces of lawn to cut, which as you know, increases the weedeating exponetially.

The guy that cut my lawn closed up shop, so i had to find someone new, which believe it or not, wasnt easy. In the meantime, my neighbor across the street was nice enough to cut mine, since it was starting to scare the rest of the neighbors. I fired up the one piece of lawn care equipment i do own, which is a weedeater, since i didnt want to be a dick just standing there watching my neighbor cut my grass. I had originally thought i might get one of those cool zero turn mowers, and cut it myself. About 10 minutes into weedeating, i realized i am a moron for letting that thought even cross my mind. I despise cutting grass.

I like Dayton stuff, investigate this. can you gravity drain into something? if not, you would need the condensate pump trackbiker mentioned. The whole emptying the bucket thing to me is such a pain in the ass. i like to "set it and forget it." this Dayton is R22 so its a little older, but its my opinion R22 is better than R410. My 12 year old Ebac with R22 runs circles around the new one i got last year. Kinda like, "they dont make them like they used too..." https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/app/d/lansdowne-dehumidifier-dayton-2hnr5a/6871519107.html I bet you that you can Doug this guy down to about $150. Maybe even lower if its a female, based on what ever it is that makes weird women want to kiss you.

There is a place in delaware that sells them. I will look when i get back to the office. With what i went through last year having to return a $700 dehumidifier, i would buy local if possible.

My hope is that you dont need an explanation for this.

I do think he was better on SNL. I dont hate all of his movies. I thought he was pretty good in "daddys home". Maybe because the movie didnt totally revolve around him? Dunno.

i like to watch cars go around in circles. I get that alot of people dont get it, but i will never comprehend watching golf on TV, so to each his own. Dover is one of those tracks though, that someone who doesnt quite get it, should go to. When they start or restart the race, you sort of think to yourself, "there aint now way all those cars are going to make it around that first turn". It really looks like there will be a pile up around every turn. Unless you are going to be in the infield, dont go to Pocono expecting an interesting race. you just cant see that much of the track.

Yup. thats it. I'm jealous of you.

Ikonic.

I miss TTC6. I had him believe i flew helicopters for a living. He was big time into phones, htc if i recall. i like my phone and all, but i think that guy slept with his. There were also a few fake TTC6 post like maybe 2 years ago which were hilarious. Him rescuing Suge Knight on the NE extension was a classic too.

The amount of time i spend on leaves is a completely different equation though. I hate leaves.

I cut my lawn in the poconos July 4th every year, maybe labor day if im in the mood, and thats it. And it doesnt look like the jungle when i cut it.

I have 4. 3 on concrete pads, and one on an extension of the my deck. I hear this one more than any other one i have. Its not really that it vibrates, but it does make noise, so i sort of wish i didnt put it basically on my deck, it seems like the noise does resonate some through the house.

Same here. One good resource for employees you might want to look into is PAcareerlink - https://www.pacareerlink.pa.gov/jponline/Common/LandingPage/Employer This is basically tied into the PA unemployment website. People on unemployment are pretty much required to search for a job, unless they have a definite recall date from their current employer. I was trying to steal a few disgruntled employees over the winter out from under our competition that laid off employees. Of course, we had people laid off too. You need to find the guy that hates his current job, or someone who lost their job of 20 years because the company closed its doors. Tough find either way. i dont envy small businesses like yours that have to constantly struggle to keep 2-3 employees. And then there is the whole health benefit dealio which is such a big deal. My neighbors kid after like 10 years in the landscaping business finally called it quits, he had just had enough. Had guys driving his trucks last year with no drivers license. Built up a good business, lots of customers, lots of equipment, but says he just cant put up with it anymore. Also, he just got kicked off his parents healthcare policy, so getting a decent job with bennys was a big deal.
