  1. I clean and disinfect mine by hand every Saturday morning. I was taking it to Mease Countryside Hospital to have a thorough cleaning once every six months. I don't know what they did with it there, but it they cleaned, tested, and repaired it, if necessary. They curtailed that during COVID and I haven't checked back with them.
  2. I initially did an in-clinic sleep study, but when my 8 year old model started going south, I had to do a new sleep study to get a new one. It was one of those in-home jobbies and I refuse to do one of those again. I was miserable the 2 nights I had to wear that apprentice.
  3. I am a side sleeper. I occasionally pull the hose loose, but I can count on one hand how many times that has happened in the last 16 years. I wear a full face as well. Fisher & Paykel Flex Fit HC431. I can't do nose pillows. This thread reminded me that I need a new one. Thanks.
  4. I've been using one since 2005. I keep a prescription at Best C-Pap Price based out of Louisville. You have to have it to get masks, at least the one I use. I have 2 ResMed AirSense 10s, the second I purchased out of pocket a couple of years ago for $589. I will not try to go without one, I don't care whether the insurance picks it up or not. I literally cannot sleep without one.
  5. For the last 20 years, the FHSAA has attempted to keep the private and public schools separated as possible, especially in the smaller school classifications. They appear to be all mixed back together, now.
  6. What the heck has the FHSAA done with the classifications in Florida? Metro, Suburban, Rural, and Independent categories? There are 9 classes, now, plus the Independents. 4 in the Metro category, 4 in Suburban category, and 1 in the Rural category. In the Metro and Suburban categories, classes 2, 3, and 4 have 4 regions with 16 districts each. Class 1 of those two categories has 1 region with 8 districts. The Rural category only has 1 class with 4 regions and no districts in each region. I need to do more reading, but WOW. Florida High School Football Classifications
  7. I would have liked to seen him in an Olando Solar Bears uniform, because that would put him in the Lightning affiliation chain. I follow the AHL TB affiliate, Syracuse Crunch, as well and it would have been nice to see him come up though this organization. As it is, he is in the Ottawa Senators affiliation chain. Here is hoping he moves up quickly.
  8. Minnesota State, who entered the game on an 18 game winning streak, lead 1-0 after 2 periods and were poised to win their first ever NCAA Championship. However, Denver tied the game a little less than 5 minutes into the third and took the lead 3 minutes later. The Pioneer's went up 3-1 with a little over 6 minutes left in the game and added 2 empty net goals to win their 9th title.
  9. Actually Mannheim Steamroller's Fresh Aire premiered (January 1, 1975) before Convoy (November 15, 1975). Fresh Aire was the first of a series of 7 albums named Fresh Aire. I bought Fresh Aire IV in 1981 and have all of them, now, in digital form. "Breaker breaker One Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck." I was big into CB radio, at the time, and later was a HAM radio operator. "Keep the sunny side up and greasy side down. This is the Swamprat in the Idiot Junction Control Rocket Car. I'm 10-10 and on the side."
  10. A dear friend, my housemate when I was dating Mrs. S, and the best man at my wedding worked air conditioning maintenance and repair on top of skyscrapers and other buildings in downtown Tampa. He kept a bottle of Kessler's on the top of the fridge and started everyday with 4 or 5 chugs of it. Sciroccos got him about 20 years ago. I not be big Beam guy. You use Jim Beam for mixers.
  11. NCAA Hockey Albany Regional. The Irish score with less than a second on the clock in regulation to break a 1-1 tie. However, after a God awfully long review, the goal was waved off. Less than 2 minutes into OT, Notre Dame's Graham Slaggert hit a slap shot from right circle to claim the win. Notre Dame meets #1 seed Minnesota State tomorrow night for a place in the Frozen Four.
  12. Spent my first week without a mask on at work in over 2 years. The place smells funny.
  13. I have a friend from the Ukraine. Her parents are in Kyiv and in hiding. She is worried sick.
  14. Season 2 will be "Die Trying". Yes!! Reacher actually has a phobia that reveals itself in this book. It will be interesting to see how they deal with it. If done right, everybody should cringe. ?
  15. I also hope they do a season using "Hard Luck and Trouble" as the book of basis. That is the book where the phrase "You do not mess with the Special Investigators." originated.
  16. You are not going to find a bigger Jack Reacher fan on earth than me. If I like a book I will read it at least twice, because I pick up different things the second time through. I own every Jack Reacher book and its audio version, including the short stories, and have read or listened to them all many times. Therefore, I am more than capable of picking out each discrepancy in this series. And that is why my wife refused to watch it with me. She binge watched it twice while I was at work and loved it. With that preface, I will tell you that I just finished the series and I loved. I liked how they worked Neigly in, though she is not in the book, the twist with the Kliner kid, and the Stan Lee bit. The love interest of Blind Blake was missing and they totally messed up the references to the short story "Second Son" which the cutaways to Jack's child hood were portrayed. FWIW, the scene with Reacher's mother dying is from "The Enemy". The book was written in first person, so they had to make Reacher more verbal or the show would be nothing but voice overs by Jack and him staring at the camera. 75% of the book is what is going on in Reacher's head. That doesn't translate well to a visual medium. While Jack Reacher reacher is cerebral, he fights a lot. He has multiple altercations in every book. In "Second Son" Jack's lizard brain is revealed as he solves multiple situations for his dad and the MPs (How he is portrayed n that scenario is the only thing i did not like about the series). Since most of the books are written in first person, those who have read them know he is cerebral, but his solution to righting wrongs often manifests itself in violence. They've already started on season 2. I hope they stay with the publish order of the books, which means the next one is "Die Trying". I can see how they may skip the books set in Reacher's past and keep doing cutaway references to them, though "The Affair" and "Night School" would be fun to see.
  17. Here are the logos for the Alonso High School Ravens, a high school I live near. Their main football helmet this last season was a blue matt finish with the A like the first logo pic.
