I have had to replace the outdoor unit a few months ago as the rainfall mechanism stopped working. Ambient replaced it under warranty with a quick turnaround. Ambient have their own weather web site you can link to, and you can also link to Weather Underground as well. Overall, I'm satisfied with it.

You are not. npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch Yes, the U.S. federal government deliberately ordered toxic chemicals to be added to industrial alcohol during Prohibition to deter illegal consumption. Beginning in 1926, the Treasury Department mandated that manufacturers increase the concentration of poisons like methyl alcohol (methanol), kerosene, gasoline, benzene, and formaldehyde in industrial supplies known to be stolen by bootleggers. Estimated Death Toll and Impact: The policy, often called the "chemist's war," resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 1926 and the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. While the government argued it was only regulating industrial products and not directly poisoning beverages, officials knowingly intensified the toxicity despite awareness that bootleggers could not fully remove the lethal additives. Public Health Consequences: Victims suffered from blindness, paralysis, and respiratory failure, with New York City medical examiner Charles Norris famously condemning the program as a "national experiment in extermination." The practice disproportionately affected poor drinkers who relied on cheap, redistilled industrial alcohol, while wealthier individuals accessed safer smuggled liquor. npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch I attempted to, but got a "Failed to Zap" message.

No starch, so if you diabetic or pre-diabetic (as I am), they are an advantage. Their drawback is that you can get some wicked gas from them, if you eat them raw.

Our garden has a 6-foot fence, which is nothing for a deer to jump, normally, but we also stretch a sun screen across it and the garden boxes may discourage them. The 8 sunchokes we planted last year filled a 4ft x 8 ft garden box with tubers.

Blessed are all who take refuge in him. npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch Animals npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch PoW and delicious.

We just hit freezing here in Bandera. It's colder now than when I woke up. Got a fire going and plan to camp out next to it in the recliner. A true and rare Sabbath day. npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch Good morning from Texas! npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch I didn't even need a note: my dad would hand me two quarters and say go get me some Winston's. Of course, I have no idea if he prearranged something with the corner grocery store. npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch Cheech and Chong skit.

I've not gotten far in it, but it's been an interesting read, thus far. It picks up with Jackson teaching at VMI when war breaks out. Jackson is one of my favorite generals. I'm hoping to keep reading it (I get distracted very easy: I also have a biography of Jefferson Davis that I'm plowing through). npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch GM! npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch Perfect morning to sit by a fire! https://image.nostr.build/a1a477d0e55786413bc9c206121c9e2b5a9385680ccc9d2ebfaecb295998aaa9.jpg npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch GM, everyone! Stay warm out there! My day's work will consist of cutting and stacking more firewood and, hopefully, starting a new batch of mead. I think I'll do a blueberry mead, this time. npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch From what I have read, Start9 is more tightly integrated, but to me the interface was always clunky. I kept going with it bc of the pain of switching. Then, after the drive crash, I decided why not? Umbrel has a slicker UI and, from what I've seen so far, its integration with the available apps seems pretty good. npub18rz2wtwr6vmwwwclx5zp5wqy6c8j8x4s0gnwusg8hmxt3z68n0lshjm3v0 Mitch Jaguar Racing Green is my favorite.
