My yellow blobs and a car parked next to me. Maybe I do want to consider making up a set of projectors.



It will be interesting to compare these to the new set coming this week, though.

Probably made by this company: https://www.lubetech.com/contact-locations/

 

I'm sure the oil is USA made. And the bottles.
The filter on the other hand.

Also, too high on cost. They need to send me a drain pan too.
Just a quick cost comparo:



Don't need the extra quarts for a change on a 2012 (which is what the amazon listing says it fits).

even cheaper to buy oil in the 5 liter jugs.

 

Let us know how this works out !!

 

so our dryer quit on sunday, of course with a full load of damp clothes in it. So we had to take a trip to my moms to rewash and dry everything.

Dryer is 8 years old and washer is almost 7. Just going to bite the bullet and replace both of them

 

The lifespan of today's appliances, or rather, the lack thereof, is ridiculous. My mom's washer and dryer set have got to be 45 years old, with a heating element, and a door switch being the only issues ever.

 

Too bad you can't lease them ehh...

Everybody's' situation/space is different, but I've noticed that it takes 2 dryers to keep up w 1 washer. And for some, a simple old washer for filthy work and hunter's duds is nice. An apt washer is small and 120Vac, good for emergencies, or, "I just need this one blouse, and right now, so your big can wait."

And I do miss the *water saver washers. Not meaning the front loaders, (which hackers long ago figured how to manipulate for water level. (Did you know they created a need for a new spec, "Greying Factor, 0-1.0? They use so LIL water, shirts actually, 'grey.')

*Anyway, old upscale washers dumped rinse water into the accompanying laundry tub, and sucked it back up for the next wash. Yes - Thrift used to be a positive thing, even amongst the middle to upper-middle class. THEN it got routed to the garden, only on the very last load... but that was 15-16 gallons. Enough for a weekly inch on a 2x12 ft bed or a 24 ft row of a kitchen garden. Without this feature, a front loader does 16ft PER LOAD, and an old top loader does 48 ft PER LOAD. The lesson here is Garden! LOL !

Neat how astronauts recycle to capture ~99% of their water. ONE SF Bldg recycles, even to downtown public sidewalk-side beds if aquatic plants and is certified green, but it only goes to toilets and non-potable needs. I want a mini Rev-Os system or such for my truck.

 

Disband the EPA and throw them all in jail for what they've done to appliances.
