    So yeah.....

    ...and to think, I had grown tired and frustrated of the crapola filling ODT threads in the last year. I rarely every check in, and am usually disappointed when I do. But alas, Bypass is back to save me from the misery that the ODT had become.

  2. 85 to open back up Monday.

    3.1 million in extra incentives is nothing compared to the lost economic cost of the time spent in traffic, lost revenues to local businesses, etc. So the big question is why can't Ga DOT and the contractors take the same approach with every project? They've shown they can do a great job when...

  3. Taxes

    Wife's W-2, My W-2, Schedule C, K1 (partnership income). Virtually impossible to reliably predict taxes. 2016 Federal tax liability about $110k. Argh!

  4. Plumber Information needed regarding municipal water pressure

    Pressure regulator is commonly just inside the house where he water line comes in. They are adjustable, but they also will fail. In my last house, it failed after about three years (new construction). Our line pressure was ridiculously high (160 psi), so I put a commercial grade regulator in...

  5. Taxes

    My goal is to end up owing just less than the amount that would incur a penalty. Sometimes it works well, sometimes not so much.

    where's this water coming from

    So in an ODT ad, it could still be listed as LNIB?

  7. Navy recruiter?

    Why should he have to? He had an appointment. You shouldn't need to do that for any other job. If the employer didn't show, move on and don't waste your time. Thanks to everyone that served.

  8. Electrical question

    3V shouldn't affect the compressor. Sounds like something else is going on. Check between hot and common, hot to ground, and common to ground. I'm sure one of the resident ODT electricians will be along soon to give better advice.

  9. Electrical question

    That fluctuation can be normal. Line voltage varies 110-125'ish, depending on other loads (e.g., your AC or lights running). On a hot day when everyone's AC is running, it can drop substantially and be a brown out, causing problems for electronics and motors. I had one the other day measure...

    Foreign seafood

    Organic doesn't always mean what you think it means. Typically that certain pesticides, for example, are not used, but remember that most of the nastiest, most toxic substances known to man-kind were developed by mother nature. Home grown is always good if you can do it.

    Foreign seafood

    CMC - carboxymethylcellulose It's in a lot of foods you already eat. Used as a thickener in ice cream, puddings, milk shakes, etc. I would worry more about the polluted water the shrimp came from than the CMC. Besides, if you knew what was in most of the packaged and processed foods you eat...

  12. Need an alinement

    You get what you pay for. The equipment isn't cheap, but more important is the operator knowing what they're doing. A kid with an expensive alignment rack is still useless. Pay the money and get it done right. It will pay off in the long run on better mileage and tire life, as long as you...

  13. AMEX platinum

    Have one. Perks keep dwindling every year. I keep saying I'm going to drop it, but just haven't gotten around to it. If I had to personally pay the fee, it would have been gone a while ago. IMHO, it's not worth it.

  14. Favorite Childhood Smell

    The smell of fresh cut lumber, concrete, cutting/grinding metal, bondo, lacquer thinner - ok, I grew up in a family that built houses and owned a garage/body shop. Maybe add fresh corn simmering, okra in the frying pan, and a big peach cobbler in the oven.

  15. Bermuda grass questions

    Wow, lots of conflicting advice. Talk to the county extension agent or google bermuda care and look for UGA or Auburn recommendations. Be very careful using Roundup in the winter. The top of the grass may be brown, but that doesn't mean the roots are dormant. If they're not, you'll kill it...
