    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    The way inflation is going, would make sense to get the tank asap. Although news report of something of 9%+ inflation from a year ago, I feel it more north of 15% and that’s a low figure…

    Maybe a bit of confusion; I have a chiller for Eric and since he can't attend, I'm wondering if someone can take the chiller to his place or closer to his home.

    Normally there has been a dry goods free section/table if it will be done this time around, I'd suggest if X item is intended for certain person, please label it so it's easier than looking for a name-tag among the attendees. One more thing is if the item/s intended for free find no home, the...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    Hopefully on the modem. Those modems tend to go nuts; we had the modem swapped twice at home. You'd need to re-do your settings on the new modem. I would still have them check the wiring and answer the question of Why you need an amp? How far is the tap from the ground block? you don't have many...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    Is that a Comcast modem or your own? If theirs, ask for it to be replaced. Maybe a signal attenuator could help but best is to do a full scan of the channels where signal travels back and forth. Back in the day of HD and DVR boxes, there was a black market for those; to prevent automatic...

    Too much signal is bad as well, that's why I wonder about your amplifier. knowing the specific channel/s where the digital service/s travels through, will tell a tech if the trouble is at the modem/box, splitter, ground block or tap. I'm out of touch with today's CATV services; wish I could help...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    How many outlets do you have? Your amp shows few connected; maybe a 4-way splitter be better but knowing the signal strength at different frequencies would for sure tell you if there's a real need for an amp. If you decide to have a service call on the Comcast line, ask for an In-house...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    I used to carry an amp or two with me but were just in case of real need; homes with lots of rooms and 8-way splitters sometimes and rarely, needed an amp. A good tech would get the ladder out or the pole steps, climb up the pole (or the underground tap, piece of cake) measure at the tap and...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    ...too much cable affects signal loss but it has to be quite an amount of loose cable. In SF, coax has to be quad shielded due to the insane amount of signal from today's technology. Most coax is labeled with the dB loss per 100' if I recall correct. Normally is about a bad connection somewhere...

    Any Comcast gurus here?

    What is the reason you have an amplifier? If the signal is good, there wouldn't be a need to amplify it; the issue with installing a signal amp is that you amplify noise as well. I've been out of hanging off the poles for 15 years and things have changed a lot. check the connectors at the ground...

    I can bring you the chiller if you still interested in it.

    Although I haven't done much lately, I like bass fishing; Lake Merced in SF has a few lunkers there; my personal best 13 and 1 oz, previous to that one, a 9 pounder back in 1990. Fly fishing and spinning for trout. Got a pole and reel for salmon but it hasn't happened yet. No saltwater since...

    Sand blasting place?

    Ideally re-chrome the wheels but is much cheaper to buy new ones than all the work involved to 'restore" them. IfI go the route of sandblasting them, then I'd paint them so they are at least protected from the elements. I'll be checking and getting quotes. Dayton Wire Wheels reproduce these with...
