DNR Fisheries may still have an annual program where you sign up for a pond survey. They test the water and evaluate your pond for proper fish habitat and make recommendations. It used to be free but I don't know if that is still the case.
To avoid getting penalized by your county or the State DNR-EPD for not obtaining proper stormwater and land disturbance permits (Ga. Erosion & Sedimentation Act, and Ga. Water Quality Control Act), if it's to be a legitimate farm pond, go through the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service...
When I was finishing college in the early 1980s, I had to go to the post office to pick up my Balfour class ring. While at the post office, I opened it and the ring was gone. It was shipped insured. Long story short, after my college filed a complaint with Balfour, Balfour had the postal...
Update- I filled out an online form yesterday evening for the USPS to deliver the package to my house and it arrived this morning in a pristine bubble-wrap envelope package with zero damage issues. I spoke to the postal delivery person and they acknowledged that the message to "pick up at the...
I received a notice today to go pick up a package from USPS that is supposed to contain four NGK BPR5ES spark plugs for my Honda lawnmower. I'm guessing that the product is either damaged or lost in transit. I paid just over $13 but the shipper insured them under "USPS Ground Advantage™--USPS...
The Albany post office is just a delivery hub. All of our mail goes to either Jacksonville, FL, or Tallahassee, FL for the coveted postal mark and is then routed back to Albany for delivery. And this is the method to save money?
Growing sweet potato slips above the dishwasher. The aluminum trays are on a seedling heat mat. A few weeks back, I collected 63 cuttings that were rooted and planted last weekend in peat pots. 51 more cuttings were collected from this viny mess below. My goal is 250 potted and rooted slips...
That fellow looks to be every bit of 96 or older. My father is 91 (born in 1932) and doesn't look like that. Those pics are of someone born possibly in the mid to late 1920s and that generation are NOT Boomers!
The Boomers of my generation were raised by parents who survived and thrived during the Great Depression and taught their kids how to improvise and endure with strength. And Boomers were backed up by The Greatest Generation- grandparents who fought in WWII, and even a great uncle who served in...
I was told 20 minutes of highway driving- drive with your headlights on, which will help boost the battery. Make sure you unplug accessories at the end of the day. Since I retired, I don't drive enough and keep my SUV battery connected to a NOCO smart charger if I'm not going out for 3 days or...
This may be why our auto insurance keeps climbing....

That should apply to lithium battery-powered mowers as well. I bought a brand name in 2022 and the mower had a failed circuit board during the first use and no spare parts anywhere stateside. I had to return it and wait two months for a refund. It was a piece of junk with a phony 5-year...
