This works. Tried it the last year I grew.

Plant Camarosa or Camino real, that’s what lsu ag center sells and what a lot of the strawberry farmers grow. They are very vigorous and grow plenty of big dark berries. I used to grow 25 plants in a 3x12 bed and we were rolling in berries every year. My kids wouldn’t let them make it inside the house.

I mulched with pine needles.

The only berry that I liked more than the two mentioned above is Florida festival. Hard to find but the sweetest strawberry I’ve ever eaten. Tasted like they had sugar on them. Grew very well also.

I don't ever recall Bush being referred to as former president, at least not as a consensus.

As I recall it was SOP until 2020, when the dems started referring to Trump as former president Trump, all the while referring to Obama as president Obama.

Every single fishing rod I have except one is cabelas brand. From the Tournament ZX's to the XML's. Outstanding quality and price before BPS discontinued them.

For what it's worth though, the johnny morris signature rods aren't terrible, just higher price point.
Of course they wouldn't post the list in alphabetical order. Dicks.

Whoever you get I recommended enrolling in an annual tune up program to keep your coil clean.
Shot a hole in the side of my boat duck hunting one year. Above the waterline thankfully.
Depending on how your company’s culture and structure is, making friends with the IT/IS team and asking one of them to help you understand the basics may be your best bet. Their info will be inherently geared toward how your company deploys integration tools so what you learn will be more useful to your meetings and decision making.
When we replaced our GE about 7 years ago we went with a Bosch 500. No ragrets.

Have the same issue with my x930e and Vizio sound bar. It doesn’t happen frequently, only when they have been playing for several hours. It started happening a couple years ago when Sony released a big software update. Before that, no issue.

I’ll try the handshake reset.
Backyard discovery Sam’s brand is all cedar. If you go to the actual backyard discovery website it’s cheaper than Sam’s or Amazon plus free shipping. Took me, my dad, and my FIL a weekend to put it together. Seal it with ReadySeal and it’ll last a long time.

HDPE is nice but it gets scorching hot sitting in the sun in the summer, worse than metal. Cedar is much better.

I'll be honest my local Wendy's is probably the best quality fast food burger we have.

I have two vines and we picked last week. We were a bit late. They were ready a few weeks ago. This was a really good year for us.

Actually yes, yes I do. I have a 3 year old state GTS510 outdoor unit. Had a similar problem a couple months ago. Mine would vent really loud and couldn’t handle low flow (slightly warm showers) without losing flame, and would randomly shut off in the middle of a bath or shower.

You have to call customer support and they will transfer you to technical support and open a case. If it’s within warranty they will help line that up. If not, they will troubleshoot it with you to determine what the issue could be and send you whatever parts to change.

I called and she walked through troubleshooting with me. Sent me a text with a link to a video call app where she used an on screen arrow to point to things she needed me to check. It was pretty legit. She was perplexed by what it could be so she put me on hold to consult her team. They came back with low flow valve on the valve and manifold assembly, so they sent me one.

That ended up being exactly right. The low flow valve wasn’t working properly, so anytime flow would be low enough to only engage the low flow valve it would lose flame. I changed it and has worked perfectly ever since.

We’ve had a sleep number for 7 years now and haven’t liked it for the last 5.

Recently laid on a purple mattress in a store and fell in love with it.

My oldest kid has a nectar and my wife loves that one. I find it a bit uncomfortable, but I’m also 100 pounds heavier than her. Fwiw.
