I like my water. I do not like the staining on the toilets. I do not want a system that requires servicing or anything. Just something I can install and forget about it.

I have well water, I love the taste, Ph is decent. I have a whole house 5 micron 'Big Blue'. I change it once a year. Water pressure before and after is the same. So it is not clogging. However, when I change it, it is orange, rust orange. Toilets have orange staining. 99% positive it is iron in...

Internal hardware and software 'supposedly' only turns on connectivity when it hears 'Hey Alexa'. Akin to switching it on. Once given an instruction, it 'shuts off' until it is switched on again. If you know how your router and WiFi work, you can see when it transmits and receives.

With Alexa, you can tell it not to listen unless you use the 'wake word'. Theoretically, then it only responds to your query, ie, 'Hey Alexa, play Jimi Hendrix'. It should not respond to 'Hey honey, where is my butt scratcher'. If you do not tell it to only listen for the 'wake word' it listens...

This is what I'll be piping my shop with at some point. As I understand it, it is pretty stupid proof. I bet I can prove that wrong.

Very well might be some guy that has a room in a building and drop ships.

I .... kept replacing the filter, finally running a external larger one and keep changing. Fuel treated with biocide. Sounds like your dealer did not really clean the tank. Clearing the fuel tank,bung, taking off the fuel line and dislodge what ever is there but expect the fuel to gush out...

The problem with outside fly traps is they attract bugs from everywhere(far away), meaning way more come than you had before . Putting on the edge of your property might lessen the amount at your house. Better still, be a generous neighbor and gift everyone who lives near you with one. There...

We used to use a length of clothseline. Tie one end to each hub. For power steering, put about five turns from each side around the drive shaft, tighten up in the side you want, it'll be like a capstan on a ship. Trust me.

Probably still has debris in the fuel tank. I'd... Check the first filter (PITA) first visually, is it 'white' or 'black' looking. Black typically means fuel contamination. Then I'd.... Pinch fuel line, disconnect from the filter and drain in to a jar. Steady flow? Clean? Other possibility is...

Big blue barrel? Awfully flexible plastic. I might suggest (ignore if you like!) that you bore a hole in the BOTTOM of the barrel on the opposite end of the fill hole. You can then use a deep socket with a stupid long extension to attach the nut ( @jimh406 has a good idea for dropping the...

Once, putting my BH back on, I did not fully engage one of the hose couplers. Assuming it was right, I fired up the tractor and attempted to get the BH on. No Bueno. After a few minutes, I discovered my 'oppssie' and had to release line pressure. After I resolved it, the BH functions returned...

Damn man! You are always having issues with your balls. Perhaps you ought to get them fixed? Yeah... any collar that works like that, it seems the direction of pull is always opposite the direction of connection, so as you pull the collar, you also pull it out of alignment of just off...

Remember when... cars had just a rubber mat (no carpet) and it was common to take the mat out and hose out the interior?

Ditto. Basic wear items like belts, filters, oil, grease, always stocked. When a new machine is acquired, so is the 'fast moving' stock servicing parts. When a part is used or supply low, I re-stock. Not a lot worse than half way through a job late on a Saturday and now you have to wait at least...
