Affordable junk hauling in the SCV area?

I second them. They have the most affordable pricing I've found in the valley, and the quality of work is still great. They are fast, polite, and professional.

TIL adjusting the air vent stops boiler knocking for good.

My buddy had this awful knocking in his apartment for like a year, swore his heater was gonna explode. He finally had a plumber out for something else and the guy just twisted a little valve on the radiator in two seconds. The silence was actually shocking. My friend said he felt like a total genius for about five minutes, then just really dumb for all the lost sleep.

I figured launching rockets was the main event, until my group handled communications for a probe. Now I see the whole picture.

Try comparing that to me waiting three minutes for my microwave popcorn. I start pacing after ninety seconds.

Showerthought: Carpool lanes are packed way more than last year

I hit that merge from the 10 every day and it's a parking lot. All those extra cars in the carpool lane just means the regular lanes are at a total standstill. It feels like it's added a good ten minutes to my drive, easy. I get why people are doing it, but man, it's brutal out there.

My little brother always overwaters the herbs, so I set up a simple chart.

The colored dots chart is such a good idea. My little sister was the same with our tomato plants, she'd just dump a whole cup on them every day. I ended up painting the handles of her small watering can and my big one with nail polish, red for hers and green for mine, so she knew which one to use. I also stuck popsicle sticks in each pot with how many fingers deep the soil should feel dry before watering. It turned into a game for her to check.
