    New Kitchenaid DW W/auto open 39 db/water softener

    My  3yo Kitchen-aid is rated at 39db and is almost totally silent.  Getting a bit of pump noise, would appear something is lodged in there.

    This sucks - problem is it doesn't

    That's why I was thinking of Flex Seal tape since I'm dealing with water.

    This sucks - problem is it doesn't

    Was washing my kitchen floor with my Hoover Spinscrub 800 and it was having a hard time vacing up water. Got frustrated removed the pickup tank no issues there.  While replacing it  I noticed the hose that  feeds the tank had a large hole in it.  Looked for a replacement hose, NLA.   Hose...

    Everything old is new again - The reemergence of UV light

    If you read the article they are talking about far UV, a shorter wavelength than older UV lights. It does not harm skin of eyes,but does produce ozone. The issue is how much ozone and how to mitigate that.

    Warm Rinses

    My Duets have Warm/warm, use it often.  The duets use a thermister to control the temp. On one of them I added some resistors to raise the warm and hot temps.  Been 11 years don't recall if it was in series or parallel, I'd wager it was parallel. I had thought about adding a variable resistor to...

    Everything old is new again - The reemergence of UV light

    If you're old enough you recall the blue germicidal lights in washers and dryers. Now they are finding a resurgence in  applications to kill virus and bacteria in  the  air.  Far UV is being explored to kill Covid and other viruses in public spaces.   Here is  great article on the...

    Try the "The number you have reached . . ." trick on your answering machine.

    Well if No-Mo-Robo is worthless I don't know how to explain the lack of calls.  I've had the same number for 50+ years so it's on every list out there. Had the same cell number  for 30+ years.

    Try the "The number you have reached . . ." trick on your answering machine.

    On all my phone lines (3) I get close to 0 calls that are not legitimate. I use No-Mo-Robo on my landlines, my cell has whatever T-Mo offers.

    Word About YT Videos

    I rarely use YT, but when I do I do not yet get messages about my ad blocker.   I refuse to use TT, though relatives spend wayyyyy to much time on it and send me links.   An ad blocker is crucial for me, have not seen an ad in decades. A few sites I visit force me to turn it off and so far I...

    Broadcast AM radio listening.

    Anyone on the west coast remember KJAZ? I have many hours downloaded and play them from time to time. Haven't thought about them for some time, will have to track the files down and queue  them up.

    Broadcast AM radio listening.

    Have not listened to AM in decades. My dad used to listen to the occasional non televised Tiger's game on the radio but that was long ago.   Now, the only time I listen to the radio is short trips in the car, NPR only.  Anything more than 15 minutes and it's Pandora. Same around the house...

    Gifted myself an induction cooktop for Christmas, silicon mat worth

    Thanks, good to know.   Now I have to decide if I should wait until I put in new countertops or swap out the cooktop now, leaning toward now rather than in a few months.

    Gifted myself an induction cooktop for Christmas, silicon mat worth

    Thanks - I think my apprehension stems from the fact the Corning top was white and by the time it was retired it was looking pretty worn.   John, sadly no IKEA near by, I have enough usable stuff to get by.

    Gifted myself an induction cooktop for Christmas, silicon mat worth

    it? Been many decades since I've had a smooth top range.  The last and only was a Corning 3+1 range.  Over time the top got a lot of wear.  I'm sure newer tops are more durable, so I'm wondering if it's worth it to pick up a full sized silicon mat.  I will be using some cast iron, worry about...

    Lowest oven setting?

    My old Electrolux had an option to proof from 85-105, my new Samsung only has a fixed proof setting, at what temp I'm not sure.  I often will proof with just the Halogen lights, works fine.
