Woke up this morning not wanting to take my CPAP headgear off. First time I went all night with it on. Thought it would take a month, only took about 2 weeks. Seems to be better with no water in reservoir.
Read something interesting. If I want my Greenworks batteries to last a long time, the best way to do that is not charge them to 100% (ever) and not store them in a hot garage. Since I was doing both this is concerning. What got me wondering was Tesla's advice to not charge the battery over 80% unless needing it for a long trip, and not leaving car at 100% charge for long periods. Apparently it is the same for all lithium batteries.
Have not done this yet. Am researching it. AFAICT jack stands and a floor jack are not recommended for safety reasons. I did put my CRT 428 on jack stands with a jack and chock blocks rear wheels and I thought the nut is reachable but also fear for my safety. So I looked into removing the deck. seems pretty easy, just move 2 cotter pins and their bolts and disconnect two power cables and slide the deck out. BUT I have no idea how heavy the deck is I got to wonder it must be a bear to put it back in place. Hoping someone else has done this?
Love my CRT 428. But...my wife claims there is an electrical smell my tractor gives off after I use it and it sits in my garage. To be safe I took off the rear basket, checked all the wiring, cleaned the entire mower including a vacuum. Wife is afraid it is going to catch on fire. I told her I would take the batteries out while it is stored. I want to know...is the electrical smell normal for an hour or so after it mows? If it is normal I will leave the batteries in. Update. Called Greenworks. They said if mower works fine and no error codes there is no issue. I am going to look closer at the blades and change the gear oil. Store it without batteries in it.
Got a hunch that perhaps the reason my ED meds were failing was a bad bunch of pills. So I ran an experiment. Numbered the different containers and tried them out. To my astonishment, I do have a set of generic Sildenafil pills (from a very well known source) that do not work nearly as well as my other generic Sildenafil pills. I think I have it figured out. The problem is some of the pills are too old to be effective. It is possible the retailer had some old pills they sold me, or I forgot to throw some out, but when I looked at the markings on the pills all of them, working or not, come from the same two companies. Pretty sure some are outdated.
Been using a set of Ping Eye 2 irons for 30 + years. Took a lesson and the instructor told me since they were copper beryllium in good shape I should sell them to a collector and buy new clubs. I figured maybe he was getting a kickback or something from the pro shops but figured I would ask Reddit. Should I upgrade? I am 72 years old and not very good. They have the once illegal grooves. Thank you.
My home has a very long driveway. I have wanted my 2026 Y to park at the end of the driveway after a short right hand turn. With parking set to "driveway" the Tesla always wants to park in front of the garage. On a hunch I set it to park on "street" mode and it parked almost exactly where I wanted it on the driveway! Win! I think in my Tesla's brain my driveway looks like a street. Even my wife is impressed.
Is it better to leave the empty truss branch on Sweet 100's or prune it? (after harvesting tomatoes).
Moved into this house 2.5 years ago. Hunter ICC controller and 11 valves over 2 acres. Was working fine until it didn't. The valves have water going to them, I can turn the water on manually. None of the valves respond to controller commands. The white wire in the box is connected. I removed the 9V battery and reset the controller and put the battery back in. I checked every GFI in the house they are all working. I am poor with electrical work, wires mystify me. What is the differential diagnosis at this point? Thank you.
Anyone know Greenworks CRT 428 (tractor) if the gear oil is supposed to be GL-4 or is it GL-5? Online manual does not specify. Best I can figure out Gl-4 is safer if not specified because it does not cause the corrosion GL-5 can but GL-5 has it's own benefits. So I will use GL-4 if I cannot get an answer.
