Muppets Christmas starred Michael Caine, not Patrick Stewart. I think Captain Picard was in a different Christmas Carol movie. Either way, the Muppets one is a great suggestion, my kids are that age and every Christmas that’s their first movie request.

I have the Stihl SR 450 backpack blower/sprayer. Cost about 750. Had it for three years. Fires up like a champ, runs like a top.

The meter system has six settings for amount of chemical you want to put out. Also has thumb control shutoff valve if you need to stop spraying but leave the blower running. Comes with several directional vents to attach to the blower end if you want to target your spray a little more precisely.

It is a bit heavy when loaded, but I fill the tank with the sprayer sitting on the tailgate of the pickup then put my arms through. It’s kind of a challenge to pick it up off the ground fully loaded.

The SR 200 is a bit smaller and less expensive, and is probably all you’d need if you’re just spraying around the house and yard. In hindsight, I should have gone for the SR 200, the 450 is overkill for what I’m doing with it. But it sure works great.

Hope this helps.

Ahh, I see. So a little rust would be expected, but I should be concerned with excessive rust? So do you think this coil spray is worth a try, or is it just snake oil?

AC tech says my evap coils are showing a little rust. Unit is only 4 years old. I was considering cleaning the coils, and applying a coat of Duracoil to prevent further corrosion. Has anybody used this before, with good or bad results? The label says transfer loss is negligible.

I, and everybody else I know, calls flatheads “spotted cats” too. Or “yellow cat”. Pretty common in south LA.

I’m pretty sure there is a yield sign there for the right hand turners. I hope so. At that intersection, I’m one of those left hand turners that DGAF about the right hand lane.

I do. Grew up in BR, went to LSU, raising a family in BR, plan to live here or near here when I retire. It has problems, I am aware. That said, I am proud to call it home, I don’t care what the naysayers are all about. I love my job, my kid’s school, our church, and my family is here. Not far from some of the best fishing and hunting in the country. I feel blessed to call it home.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what to you mean "spray"? Is that urine or spit or something?
