Hey trag

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Ooh try a 2-liter bottle of Pepsi

Why you gotta be all traggish about pressure washers? Tried and true.

I just hate them. Every time I’ve had to use one I’ve hated every second of it.

I dunno man, the satisfaction of seeing dirt and grime disintegrate like that is so good.

That part is fun. The cables and hoses and attachments and limited reach…

<sprays down a 10’x10’ area. Takes three trips to relocate everything to the adjacent 10’x10’ area…>

Hell.

Dude, that’s why I got the cordless. It also has a spout that I can hang down into a bucket of water and pull from there. No hose, way more mobile.

I'm listening...

Will report back.

I returned this thing and got a proper electric one. It was super portable, but only 600 psi and rips through a battery in like five minutes, so a cleaning job longer than that ends up taking to much time since you have to recharge.

[spike]

And murder you.

And murder you.

that’s why you just lock the back door while they work and stay safely within the chamber of privilege

Patio heaters mounted. Install next.

After that replace the shed

Going to get a reverse osmosis filtration system installed for drinking/cooking water. Well water tastes awful and can be full of all sorts of crap, and tired of buying jugs of water/bottled water.

[96583UP]

good idea

i have been considering a whole house water filter lately for my house

i use the filter on the fridge

but at a prior house had a whole house filter

makes a big difference vs. the tap

i dont have well water fortunately

but lately one of my faucets makes water that i swear smells like chlorine

changing the filter in the whole house water filter was a pain in the ass tho

We’re getting one of those smaller systems that fits under the kitchen sink. Second faucet there, then he’ll run a line to the fridge through the crawl for an additional $75.

This is being installed right now.

They’re always in a good mood until they have to go down into the crawl space.
