Solution For Contour Sheets Ensnaring Pillow Cases.

Solution For Contour Sheets Ensnaring Pillow Cases.

I found that when I put contour sheets in the dryer after being washed, they often times would ensnare at least one item, typically a pillow case, inside a twisted ball.  The ball always was at the contour sheet corner.  This required me to untwist the contour sheet holding other washed item and finding that they both were still wet.  I had to run the dryer again to dry those wet items.  This wasted energy and my time.  I came…

Blackvue DR900S-2CH Dash Camera Fails To Reliable Connect To WiFi

I recently, (APRIL 2020) had a Blackvue DR900S-2CH Dash Camera installed in my car.  Everything about this device is quite good except it would fail to reliably connect to the WiFi.  I quickly found the solution.  I use an Android LGV30 phone.  I went into the cell phone settings and chose Network & Internet portion settings.  All I had to do was to turn Mobile Date Off.

Using A Nut Cracker To Remove A Rusted Nut

Our upstairs bathroom had been leaking water from a drain line for some time.  It took us some time to figure out we had this problem. We called a wonderful plumber and he had to repair three badly glued sewer line pipe joints.  It appears that the person who installed the sewer lines failed to apply enough glue to the inside of the joints but rather made the outside of the joint look quite nice outside.  I consider this an…

Cruise To Alaska and Canada Technology Problems

Cruise To Alaska and Canada Technology Problems

As for weather, absolutely no provided information from the ship and my cell phone.  My cell phone, T-Moblie service provider, really was quite awful in Alaska and even in larger cities of Canada, such as Vancouver. It was not until I got into Washington and Oregon that it provided good service.
