Where ya headed? Even the threat of snow in the mid atlantic can bung things up.

Hopefully to Hawaii. Last night's mini storm caused over 244 cancellations and delays at Newark. What will be will be. We roll with the punches and have been known to make many 'Elaine and George's' great adventures out of adversity.

I use just the generic brands and have never tried them in the bowl itself. I wonder if you could drain the bowl and use something like Lime Away on it? Maybe lay rags in the bowl and saturate them with it?

Morning all! Cold here...yet. Expecting snow at some point in time. Then sub zero temps at night. We are heading out to chain some keeper logs from a standing dead tree that dh dropped this week.

Otherwise a quiet weekend here.

Anybody have any plans set for the weekend?

Working on this...

Husby is convinced that the blue tablets or anything in the toilet tank harm hardware, so we don't use them anymore and especially since we're now on a septic system. We're lucky we don't have manganese (sp) in our well water like so many folks in our village do (makes for a lovely blackened tank.) The inside of our tank looks fairly pristine. However, we do have bowl rings...

Bleach is a no-go as it tends to kill the good organisms in the septic tank. Denture tabs did not work on the waterline rings. We've tried Coca-Cola with fair success. (Turn off water, flush to empty bowl, pour a liter in the bowl, wait a couple of hours.) I've also heard that fabric softener sheets work well and will try those next (same instructions as above, but do not flush the sheets into the system.) Either method requires a little bit of scrubbing, but makes the deposits come off easier.

I just use a razor blade for stubborn deposits.

Nope, not even halfway done. You have to have a top, bottom, and batting in between, then you quilt them together.
