My wife and I got COVID in Dec '24 (I'm 76, wife 71). Our PCP recommended not getting Paxlovid as the strain that was circulating was usually mild and she suggested just riding it out unless the symptoms got worse.

Would the location lend itself to putting an outlet in the box and a plug on the dishwasher cord. I did this and it provides a means to disconnect the dishwasher if needed. I've done wire nuts on solid to stranded, but prefer to avoid it if I can.

Looks like 2025 is going to be a interesting year for Advantage plans in many aspects

So...... How do you accessorize your Cybertruck? :oops: https://www.military.com/off-duty/autos/machine-gun-equipped-cybertruck-might-just-be-worst-technical-ever.html

I installed a 40 gallon Marathon in 2009 to replace an oil fired water heater.

Watching this thread...... I have a 2216 with a 3pt hitch lever that also seems to have gotten harder operate, but not to the point where it might bend. It did seem to loosen up after using it, but it's still not like it was when the tractor was new. I did spray some lube around the moving...
