RNG... Can you get the EZ-Pour Hi-Flo Replacement Spouts in Cali?

Amazon won't sully their delicate hands with them, but again, eBay and/or Google to the rescue.:laughing:

Tractor supply had them on sale for $9.99 about three years ago. I bought 4 of them. The regular flow versions were $13.99 then, as I recall.

My High flow nozzles are one piece, about 14" long. I notice the current ones have an extension.

Edit: they show up on my Amazon? Is Amazon different in Cali?

50°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 60° today.

Been fighting off a pending cold for the past few days, and it finally caught up with me on Sunday. It's just a minor head cold, but it's killing me with bad/limited sleep. Starting to get sore muscles from coughing as well. The typical vitamin C overload didn't cut it this time. Eating cough drops like candy today.

Happy Birthday, BEF.

I absolutely despise those new gas cans. Not only are they ridiculously slow, they leak. I've already replaced the spouts on mine once, and last time I filled them the new spouts both cracked when tightening them. Garbage. Need to start searching the black market for cans that actually work.

66 and cloudy, sprinkles early, heavier rain after noon. Doctor appointment later, car club meeting then home to watch The Great Pumpkin!
Happy birthday BEF!
Ellen’s dad came through the triple bypass with flying colors. Of course he’s sore, but overall doing well. He’s amazing for 83.
I’ve been washing clothes this morning, not my favorite job, but I’m happy to be able to again. I went to my grandsons baseball game last night, his skills at 7 are amazing. He has one more fall game then on to indoor soccer and basketball.
Prayers for all.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

A mostly cloudy 37ºF for today’s low; 50ºF and mostly cloudy presently; and I anticipate increased cloudiness and rain showers late today with high temperature in the mid50ºF’s. Another night waking up coughing and soaking wet with sweat in a 60ºF bedroom. O2 stats were decent @95% both before and after Dog Walk #1. Then eating oatmeal for breakfast I broke out sweating again in a 70ºF kitchen. My blood sugars are really decent. I have no clue what is driving this??? I hope it’s not another pending bout with pneumonia again. I see my neurologist tomorrow.

Lou- Thanks for the link. We’ve been to and have stayed at B&B’s in Saratoga Springs. We’ve enjoyed our stays there; quite a few decent restaurants.

“…. Colors here are past there peak.”- Thomas Same here with +50% of leaves now on the ground. I see one more mowing exercise with the rider and grass/leaf catcher. And yes I too am back to body checks for ticks. And I thought ticks went dormant in temps <45ºF’s.

David- A creative use of your backhoe. Thanks for sharing.

“… Kyle, news is saying no deaths, not sure about injuries.”- Bruce That’s my understanding so far as well. Thanks for the +’s. I always have neuropathy stuff going on, sometimes worse than others; but I can not let it stop me from trying to stay active. Being inactive is far worse.

BEF- Good luck dealing with the STD and LTD bureaucratic nonsense, I hope that you get your router issues resolved, and I hope you have a decent birthday today.

Eric- Thanks for sharing your sunrise picture. Sunrise is my favorite time of day.

Billy- Thanks for the laugh.

Drew- I wish you a pleasant return trip home.

Last night I had herb tea with lemon, grated fresh ginger, and honey and then had a cup of chicken stock with the same additions.

Randy- I am happy to read that FIL’s surgery went as planned, and you remain active, and had the opportunity to see your grandson baseball game.

I hope that everyone is having a manageable day today.

My + thoughts and prayers,

I don't use cans for much just one lawn mower and the sander engine and a can for 2 strokes,
but I don't even bother messing with the spouts I just take the caps off and pour directly into the tank or into a funnel.
I'm usually parked on gravel and what tiny bit spills evaporates quickly.

 

[jbrumberg]

My 2 stroke fuel mix, and my rider's jerry cans have those CARB spouts. My tractor's diesel fuel always runs through my Mr. Funnel water/fuel separating filter/funnel. Sooner or later all my spillage stains disappear.

Time to move some firewood before the rain begins. Right now from the looks of Doppler it's virga "rain" here.

Good morning to all! Low of 28, 62 expected for the high. Just 'breezy' today with 15-20 mph winds. No precip is forcasted for the next week, not good, we are really dry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BEF!

Randy, please forward our thoughts and prayers to Ellen and her dad. Hopefully a speedy recovery!

Drew, stay safe on your return trip, hopefully ahead of the weather changes.

The son was out at daybreak picking up all the cardboard and styrofoam that blew out of the trailer. We are now going to get that to the dump before the wind makes its presence known again.

Today's agenda will include the dump run, returning with a few yards of forest mulch (it's free so why not make the trip more worthwhile). We will unload that then make a return trip with a trash load, again returning with another load of mulch.

If I'm not too beat up after that, we'll probably bring some more stuff over from 'the big house'. There's only a few boxes of papers, old pictures, and storage bins full of holiday decorations. If it doesn't happen today, maybe tomorrow. That was the best thing about this move....didn't have to happen all at once!

RNG, sorry to hear about your troubles finding a solar contractor. Every time I go into a HD, Lowes, or Costco, I am approached by some sales guy pitching their system. When I tell them where we live and what kind of system that I want, the reply is either "we don't go out to that area" or "we don't do that kind of system". I have resolved myself to do my own when the time comes. Of course you have far more regulations out there prohibiting that.... It's a real shame that the technology has improved, but it's still so difficult to achieve using it.

Everyone have a great day! Prayers out for all.

Jay, you posted while I was typing. I sure hope you are able to get past your respiratory issues.... Not a good time of the year to come down with something. I know we are both "stubborn" when it comes to dealing with health issues, but please, please, don't let it get too far... Take care my friend!

Edit: they show up on my Amazon? Is Amazon different in Cali?

When I tried to buy the cans yesterday at Amazon, at checkout time I got the following message, Rick:

"There was a problem with some of the items in your order (see below for more information):
No-Spill 1450 5-Gallon Poly Gas Can (CARB Compliant)"

That happens with chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, and now, apparently, with things Amazon thinks violate some Kalifornia law or regulation.:confused3:

I just now checked the spouts you linked, and didn't get snagged, maybe because the description said they were water spouts?:confused2: Maybe if I ordered No-Spill water cans, I could get them from Amazon? But why pay more at Amazon when the eBay vender had 'em for ten buxs less with free shipping and no sales tax?
