You mean getting the right kind? I guess there are several brands and they aren't compatible. PITA.

That's one way of putting it. He ordered one set from ebay and they didn't fit, sent them back today. Then he was guided to this site:

Finally was able to match up the connectors. It sux not having a parts manual for the thing. He contacted somebody who worked for the company who made the bucket but they wouldn't help him. Something about a manufacturers agreement, blah blah blah. they wanted him to take it to a dealer. Ummmmm no, not in this lifetime.

Hey @ronott1 Our laser printer just died (and I mean JUST). Any suggestions on who makes a quality home color laser printer?

Thanks. I would have PM'd but you never know who else might appreciate the answer.

We use a lot of xerox laser printers. I bought one for one of our Faculty and she was able to set it up on her own. It is a xerox workcentre 6027. I also bought generic toner from amazon with two black cartridges and a set of color for under $50.00.

and only from that landlocked Tennessee field, and only for the month of May, apparently. As usual the headlines exaggerate.

Yes they do exaggerate. But this was a stock broker dealing with Oil commodities. So If it were a perfect world he would just be quoting the standing price for Crude no matter the source.

coal is the same way. the US fires up the electrical generating plants with coal. It keeps coming per contract but they dont need it so it is piling up at the electric plant.

I see this as a great opportunity for Solar generating to grab a bigger market share.

I for one would love to have sources to generate electricity on my property. Harnessing wind, Sun, and geothermal.

Heating the house with a Rocket stove mass heating system. Mine is a little house so it wouldnt take a large one. Probably will build one in the greehouse room to keep the grow out Fish tanks warm. Tilapia are hearty fish can adapt to many different water conditons. But optimally their tanks should be around 80 degrees. In 250 gallon tanks the water mass would hold the heat longer keep them active and eating.

sorry I am rambling... Tired and need to go to bed but dont want to. I finished the kitchen layout plan for the remodel and am excited to give it to the contractor.
