Newbe with a bad habit

When I started teaching myself bass I was happy enough to remember what fret to fret and the shape of the scale I wanted so I let good technique go to the wayside. Now I have a problem with buzz because I just press anywhere between the two frets when I should be pressing ON the fret. What are some good practices to correct this? I’ve started doing spider walk stuff. Any other good ones?

Where to watch nfl this season?

Every year I set to the high seas to stream games and every week it’s a struggle to find quality, consistent streams. The hosts come and go so frequently. Anything quality out there this season? Or is it too early to tell. I’m no captain, just a casual deck hand.

Maybe I’ll try to only drink stouts, porters, and holiday beer from November till spring.

Recommendations?

Not into too heavy, over spiced/flavored beers though. I like Sam Smith oatmeal stout and porter. Anchor Steam. Guineas extra stout. Etc. Otherwise I drink hazy, juicy IPAs.

Used Epifanes full strength on first coat when it says to thin 50%.

I’m doing some canoe paddles and of course I didn’t read the directions closely enough. I was supposed to thin 50% but used full strength. Do I just need to wait longer before second coat? This was on bare wood. Not sure of the species. Basswood I think. It soaked in really well and I plan on doing 5-6 more coats following the thinning direction going forward

Did atf and filter swap. Measured exactly 4.2 quarts. Added back about 4.2 quarts and it was barely on the dipstick, at operating temp, with engine running. Added the rest of the bottle for a total of 5 quarts and this is the level. Add more or we good?

I’m color blind, regular blind, or all three of these show depleted.

What do you think? This test kit is a couple years old too, if that might have any impact.

Selling ammo locally question

A relative recently passed and we have about 30-40 boxes of 40sw to get rid of. Is there anywhere around Pittsburgh (and north) that buys?

Not trying to sell ammo to anyone on this site but i do have a question about selling ammo. Hope that's ok.

Do brick and mortar gun and ammo shops buy ammo from private citizens or is there an online selling option? My father in law passed away and we have 30-40 boxes of 40 S&W. All brand new. about 1/2 FMJ and 1/2 hollow point.

Are the pullout switches for fused and non-fused central AC disconnects the same?

The pullout switch on my Eaton disconnect (fused) broke while switching it today. A replacement switch is around $45 but a whole new box (non-fused) is around $20. Can I just get the non-fused box and use the switch from it?

I’m in town for work and go out by myself. I’ve googled around but can’t find anything good (except Silversun Pickups but I can’t make it, unfortunately). I like acoustic, jam, jaz, rock, etc. I metal or country. Any ideas?

Is kayaking in the creek a thing? Like I know you can technically paddle anything but some waterways are enjoyable and some are not really nice. Is it ok?
