rain yesterday... sub zero today
Comments (36)What is your take on the track and snow amounts on the storm tomorrow? Every forecaster is different. I've seen or heard everything from 1-3 inches for us to 9-13 inches. One forecaster said the two main computer models are almost 200 miles off on the predicted track. Sorry, we were doing kid stuff yesterday afternoon & I was off-line. I was surprised to hear the 1-3" forecasts yesterday, as the low hit the coast way down over SoCal and no evidence of a northerly track, and you see it today over SoNM and making TX unhappy. The old guys who taught me were always skeptical of model runs and relied on patterns and their memories - our forecast meetings always had a question for the experienced forecasters: 'what was your first guess' and much more often than not the first 'guess' was the one that verified. That said, the next bad boy out there off the coast has somewhat less energy as the one last week, not quite as deep or moist but could have winds that rival last weeks' if it doesn't fill while over water. Folks with animals need to start watching the forecasts closely as they'll start to be vulnerable if these next ~two weeks' worth of storms start to swing up north of Albuquerque and take the spring storm tracks, which should come earlier this year. The Aleutian low looks like it wants to set up too far offshore, and that means the surface lows that come ashore come south and swing up thru NM. So far they've been way south, but as time goes on they move N. If you are running short of hay and were going to go in a couple weeks, you may want to think about going sooner rather than later if you have room. That's how it looks like it is shaping up today.

Comments (94)George, no, usually no where near a heavy soil. In the final rinse suds are gone, so all is good on that front. I'm going back to 3 Tbps max as I see no difference in cleaning power. Mama, I have hard water but it's on the lower end. New water softener takes care of all of the worries. Also, only use dryer sheets for softening. I'm wondering since the Elux 617 premixes very well if that's preventing heavy suds....See MoreRosalie's - Zero Suds (IMAGES)
Comments (30)Dadoes...My normal does for regular he detergents is 2 Tablespoons and I could throw a Tablespoon of STPP in there as well (3 Tablespoons of detergent if the load is really large). From my understanding the guy that invented it tested it like for every washer. I'm sure he had high capacity front loaders in mind when they came up with the dose. But it doesn't say to add more for bigger machines. That's why I went with 1 scoop (Tablespoon). So the wash water should be slippery? So that would cut my 50 load box down to 25 loads...making this one damn expensive detergent (50 load box per 1 scoop per load). I'll give the 2 scoop dose a try just to see how slippy the water feels....See MoreRosalie's Zero suds and gleaming whites!!
Comments (16)I am visiting the forum, while I am hoping to make some better decisions on detergent. I know I must have visited a few years back as well, because I got the advice here, to try Charlie's Soap which apparently was popular here at the time. Or at least with whoever I talked to. [g] But since I will be here for at least a few weeks, I feel I need to address some of the posts made here about Larsi. It was actually me who ended up having an issue with his use of language on my first visit here. I thought he was a she at the time, and I brought it up in a post. There was an unhappy exchange between the two of us for all of 2 comments and that was the end of it. I was pretty surprised to read Larsi's last comment saying good bye to forum members. He said someone had reported him to the moderator. He was very upset. I posted a reply to assure him that I had not reported him to the moderator, but before there could be a response, the moderators yanked the thread. None of us are perfect, including me. I read a few of Larsi's posts and he seemed to be an enthusiastic person who got along with a lot of people here. His final comment went on to say that people here had complained about his language before. I noticed he added the language to the subject line of one of his comments recently, so really, who had to report him, he was making it very obvious to the moderator. There are terms of service. I don't understand, since he said how much he enjoyed this forum and the people here, why it wasn't an easy solution to refrain from using the language. But I'm brand new here, so obviously I don't know Larsi or any of you. There was more to his comment that I found quite surprising in it's intensity that I asked him about, but never did get to hear what he had to say. So, that's all I have to say. I am reading some of the comments here that are directed to some members who are now blamed that Larsi is gone, and I don't see how that helps, but.... I'm just passing through. I find it odd that this is a huge problem in a Laundry forum of all things....See Moremamapinky0
