    Car question Subaru Forester

    I’ve heard of this on CrossTreks but not Foresters. If you have a trickle charger, you can hook up and it should keep enough juice to turn over.

    OT: Poll for Today’s Leaf Rakers

    Try raising it - sometimes I take out the mulching piece so that the leaves get a bit more chopping. Also try to blow the non lawn areas into the lawn before running the mower. Last pro tip - don’t spend too much time on getting everything as you won’t be able to tell the difference in a day...

    OT - Emmert interview on NPR

    Heard this on my way home - interview with Mark Emmert. Thought it was going to be pretty soft, but was pleasantly surprised. I think Emmert was pretty taken aback as well. Anyway, I enjoyed it - I suck at attaching but hopefully here’s the link

    OT: Dinner recommendation in Stamford

    Been meaning to try Teff and it’s good to hear Trips is good as I’ve driven by it a million times and never considered it. Silvium & Columbus Park both have good Italian - I guess CP is a bit pricier but they’re in the same ballpark. There’s a good Indian restaurant in Darien - Coromandel and...

    IT: Cordless Electric Lawn tools

    I’m looking to get a battery powered weed-eater and am wondering if anyone had suggestions. I hate the gas/oil ones but I don’t want to deal with a ginormous extension cord. This would be my first battery powered outdoor tool & it seems to be the trend - I might one day get a lawn mower and...

    COVID Vaccination

    I just became eligible & was able to book for Tuesday (1st dose). I think it’s the Moderna bc the 2nd shot is 4 weeks afterwards. I jumped on my phone & then my computer at six this morning. I got and promptly lost two appts so I won’t believe I have this until i have a needle in my arm...

    OT: ROKU help

    It wasn’t just Roku - couldn’t get on HBO Max on fire stick either about 9 months ago. That’s gotta be 90% of what people stream with between the two.

    OT: ROKU help

    I was an early adopter for Roku & I’ve had two boxes so far that became useless over time. In terms of Peacock, I don’t see any live sports you can watch without getting the premium package - or even taped delayed ones. Was looking for any Premier league matches and also Alpine Skiing (that...

    OT Running

    I’ve been running more during these times and staying injury free is my main concern. I have had my fair share of running injuries in the past and I think it’s more that running exposed that I had some imbalances & a lack of flexibility that made me more prone to injury. Regularly stretching...

    OT: Trade-in or Keep and Service

    I think 60k got plugs is what’s the norm. The wires about 100k. OEM Wires aren’t cheap, so I can see a Subie dealer charging $300+. NGK wires are supposedly the same, so you can save a few bucks using those. Some mechanics are OK with using parts you supply, but some aren’t - obviously a...

    Sad news - Cliff Robinson has passed away

    Cliff Robinson might be the most important player to have played for UCONN! IMO, he's the first important recruit we had that's linked to the program's national success. He was the best player the UCONN team that won an NIT championship & then he had considerable success in the NBA - despite...

    Fire pit things

    Quick question - can you add charcoal to the bottom of a regular fire pit? I would think it would help in getting the wood going. We recently got a round cast iron bowl shaped pit & haven't used it yet.

    School me on starting a garden - not the MSG type.

    Human hair, which I think we all have a lot of these days is supposed to ward off critters - if you're not into the whole killing thing. People say Chloroquine is good for this too.

    School me on starting a garden - not the MSG type.

    I just did mine, so if anything grows we'll see how effective it is... The land I used is reclaimed woods, so I wasn't able to bury posts. I instead took some pressure treated 2x6s and created a frame at the bottom. These are partially buried so I'm hoping the effect is it's like a raised...

    School me on starting a garden - not the MSG type.

    I bought a big roll (150 ft) of poultry wire at HD. It's only 4ft tall so I ran a bottom and top section. I attached using special U- shaped nails made for this and I would also use regular finishing nails for the thinner 2x4s - I'd hit them halfway in to hook the wire and then bend the nail...

    School me on starting a garden - not the MSG type.

    I'm in Fairfield Cty. I put up some fencing as we get deer & I put the some of seeds I have in egg cartons just to get things going. So glad to have read GT Cams comment about the mints as otherwise I may have planted my peppermint seeds directly! I plan on making rows and putting down some...

    School me on starting a garden - not the MSG type.

    Thanks, all of this is helpful. Assuming I can find some more seeds, I'm glad to know there's time. What kind of fertilizer do you recommend, I've heard mulch is important & there's a bunch of options there too. Folks get really into their gardens and I'm eager to avoid mistakes. I've...

    School me on starting a garden - not the MSG type.

    I cleared some land (unfortunately the area is as shady a regular Cesspool poster) and I want to start my quarantine garden. What should I plant, where do you get seeds? I've been to two different HDs in the past week both were essentially out of them. Thinking mostly vegetables as I think...

    Jordan's 97-98 Bulls tonight

    I really like LeBron (both as a player & aa a person), but seeing this documentary has reminded me about how earth shattering Jordan was. There was no one like him and he was probably the most popular person on the planet. He was the Muhammed Ali of his time - more than a sports figure.

    OT: Bob Dylan

    I'm a big Dylan fan and I think the newly released song is great - I've listened to it multiple times. It is different than any previous, but that's what he does. I hadn't kept up on his music since "Modern Times" & am thrilled with this. Truly remarkable that he's been able to keep changing...

    OT: Reckless Driving In Virginia

    My wife got a ticket in Hopewell while we were on vacation. On our return, we had about 20 letters from attorneys. Anything over 80 is reckless driving- not simple speeding. We shopped around got the cheapest one ($200) & contested it. Was told that dhe technically would have had a...
