    Hence the "apply common sense"! ;)

    Adding a sub-panel is relatively inexpensive and will give you some breathing room; all you would be doing is re-distributing your current load. Pull two breakers out of your current panel, replace with a double 50, and add an 8 circuit sub. I had to do that at my place (cursed with 100 amp service and upgrading to 200 isn't feasible). I think the hole project was around $300 for 50 amp, panel, a couple of feet of 6/3, and a few 15 & 20 amp single pole breakers.

    Friend of mine has a early Tacoma, a few years ago he had a tip come off a new NGK plug and had to have the head removed to get it, around $1,600 I think. He just sent me this, he had a whole plug come out :eek:

    We bought a new washing machine a few months ago, I'm hoping for 3-4 years out of it :fingerscrossed:

    Don't these come with at least a 2 year warranty?

    Re: The Poll
    I do a little. I got one share of Vaxart and one share of FuelCell Tech. One was free and the other was like $5 when I bought the share and it floats around $7 now. I'd do more but I don't know enough about the market. I did do some DogeCoin when that was a thing and doubled my money and then sold out before it died off. Now my Robinhood account only has like $40 of liquid assets in it. It feels more like gambling than a smart thing so I try to limit it. I kick myself all the time because I was going to buy $500 into bitcoin back when it was still starting but I was young and thought of 'better' uses for my money.

    I don’t know, I can’t find the stuff where I bought it. Thought it was on my Lowe’s account but it isn’t.

    He’s hoping he can retap the head, he’s a machinist as well so he’ll do it right :thumbsup:

    I wish him good luck with that. I've never seen a plug ejected that didn't take the threads with it.

    Maybe? Ohh wait no… it was about not having enough buckets for all the condensation pipe leaks in the building!
