Anyone else ever hurt your back driving mower over bumpy ground?
Comments (38)There is a company that makes a product called E T Air Ride. www.ztpuffer.com You mount this air ride system on your mower then mount your current seat on top of it. If you have a seat that slides you can still slide your seat. It raises your seat a few inches so you need to build some wood platform to support your body, no big deal. You hook the power side to the ignition switch so it shuts off when you shut mower off. John Deere dealer was helping me get the correct wire. I'm looking forward to using it as my tailbone is sore. Age has nothing to do with it. Lawnmower manufacturers don't want to spend the extra money to build this into their mowers....See MoreEver used a ceramic reptile heater for your cat?
Comments (4)I use them at home for my creepy crawlies, and have also used them at work for cold kitties. They are great, but you MUST prevent kitty from being able to touch the lamp and the shade- both get VERY hot. When I use ceramic heat lamps, the critter in question is always caged and therefore not able to touch the lamp. Another suggestion is a full-spectrum basking bulb that uses the same type of lamp. I personally think kitty would benefit greatly from this. You may as well. Basking bulbs provide both light and heat, which may prevent her from getting SAD (seasonal affected disorder). Since cats originally came from the desert, it is no wonder that they like to bask in the sun. I am a firm believer in providing the most natural environment possible for all critters. Again, the bulb and the shade get VERY hot, so prevent kitty from touching them. As a safety warning, be sure the lamp is rated for the wattage bulb or heat emitter you get. You wouldn't want a short and fire....See MoreWhat is the craziest thing your dog has ever done?
Comments (20)My beloved mutt Hippo has been a comedian (and trouble) from day one... She is food crazy and has had some harrowing experiences because of her appetite. Once she ate an entire box of dry cookie dough. Her stomach bloated up, she had diarrhea, she vomited and was miserable for about 8 hours. Once in the middle of the night she threw up... a plastic bag! I have no idea what was in the bag, or how/when she ate it, thank god she threw it up. When I had my first child she was my night companion. Anytime the baby would cry, she would run into my DD's room and wait patiently for me to come in, like "Mom, the baby is crying!" and she would stay up with me through the night feedings. She also took to licking the top of my DD's bald baby head. My relatives all thought it was gross, I thought it was adorable. When I leave the house she goes on my bed, rearranges the pillows and takes a nap. The second I come home, she jumps down and acts like she was never up there... At age 10, she loves going with my DD up into her tree house (there are little stairs) and then she will slide down the slide, just like a kid. Hippo and DD are best friends and she was the greatest "practice kid" ever....See Moredo you drain your water heater ever so often?
Comments (31)I do not drain my water heater, but once or twice a year, I do a bottom flush to remove any junk that has collected there. All gas water heaters that I have seen have a standard hose bib at the bottom of the tank. you can use a hose to direct the out flow or use a container under the hose bib. There is one precaution that I advise: Prepare to handle a dripping valve if it should leak afterward. Have a hose cap handy. This a a cap with a seal and has threads that fit standard hose threads. (The seal may be a standard hose washer.) If after flushing and the valve does not completely shut off, the dripping can be stopped by screwing on the cap. These caps are available in hardware stores that sell hose and plumbing repair parts. The main hazard is that the flush valve might not seal well after the flush. Contaminants can get caught on the seat and the elastomer valve seat might not be in good shape. Having a cap available will be handy if the valve leaks afterward. If you had to use a cap, inspect the valve some time later, say an hour or more. As the pressure builds up behind the cap, water may begin to seep out around the valve stem. Usually, tightening the packing nut around the stem will stop the weeping. Do not overdo the tightening. Merely snug the packing nut enough to stop the leak. Usually, a 1/8 to 1/4 turn is enough. Support the valve with another tool to counteract the tightening torque. You do not wish to break off a valve that is pressurized with hot water....See Moredances_in_garden
