  1. No. I don't think the day matters since it runs every 3 days but the time I suppose does matter.
  2. I assume I only need to check everyday that the system is supposed to run? It would be a pain to have to drive over to the house everyday to check on it.
  3. Since I'm selling my house for lot valie, it doesn't really matter what happens to the actual house. What is important is that I keep the three big live oak trees alive. I went by the house yesterday and noticed that the grass and azaleas looked really bad. We haven't had much rain but the automatic sprinklers were suppose to be on. I go in the garage and they weren't working. Went back today to check it out and luckily, it was just a blown fuse. I switched it out and they seem to be working again. Fingers crossed.
  4. Yes. While in a thread, change "all content" to "this topic."
  5. Thanks for the invitation Greg! I've always wanted to try these restaurants. See you in N'awlins.
  6. If she justs wants something to keep out noise and not to listen to music, I really like the purple Flents quiet time earplugs. I started wearing them because Tim snored loudly but now I wear them anywhere I go. I replace them about once a week. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F5VDVE/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001J4HB1C&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1RHT6AWB2P7S1X4VKZ33
  7. At Oporto with a friend. The lamb ribs were outstanding. Everything else was really good.
  8. There are plenty of good burgers places in Austin (for example, we went to Hopdoddy this weekend which was good) but I can't ever pass up the chance to have In-N-Out. I don't understand why they won't open one in Houston. There are 28 in the state of Texas and none in Houston!
  9. I'm up for Islay/Scotland touring! I have a friend from Glasgow and know some people who have lived in Edinburgh so I could ask them about places to go and things to do. I've been to Edinburgh once for a math conference but spent most of the time at the conference. I'd be less interested in going to Belgium or Germany.

    I'm ignoring it right now because I have to get ready to go to Austin City Limits tomorrow. [It's not necessarily lint though, they are not fibers, just little smaller than sand like particles. I talked to someone at the company and she said they do that for a while... she wasn't sure why, said it could be wool.]
  11. The Surface Book looks slightly interesting. The SP4 looks a lot like a lighter/faster SP3.

    Do you end up having dust/fine lint particles all over your mattress? The lint seems must finer than usual lint. Maybe that is the case with terry cloth. I wonder if it could be pieces of the wool breaking off because it has become brittle and coming through the cover.

    I ran it until it was all the way dry (washed and dryed on medium but I didn't have a "gentle" setting for medium). I went to take it out once and but then felt a small part that was still damp - maybe I should have taken it out then. The fabric has all these little dust particles falling from it like it's disintegrating. I had to run a small load of wet towels through the dryer to get out all the extra small lint/dust particles after drying it. The company did warn of a lot of lint from the terry cloth exterior (and that you would need to clean out the link before and after - which I always do). Is this normal? Basically, when I shake it out and then run my hand over the hardwood floor, there is a bunch of dust/fine lint all over the floor (you can't see it until you run your hand over it unless sunlight hits it). I feel that if I put this on my mattress I am going to have to vacuum a bunch of stuff off it next time I remove it - which I guess isn't the worst thing in the world. I hope that is what terry cloth does at the beginning and I didn't dry it too much and too hot and ruin the wool inside. I bought this to be water resistant. Can too much heat ruin the water resistance property of wool? I am tired of dealing with mattress protectors.

    Ok it didn't smell too bad but barely fit in my front washer (at my house). I wonder if it'll fit in the washer at the apartment in the future... The dryer I have had been like that since day one with a brand new vent (I'm still using the washer/dryer at my house since they are nicer). I just put it in the washer so I guess I'll have to find a place to let it sit to air dry in the old place for tonight.

    Unfortunately, I don't know that I have a place to air dry it. I have a auto-dampness setting on my dryer but often things are still damp when it stops (if the load is full). I also read somewhere where someone said it really stunk when they first got there's (I haven't opened it up yet). Do you remember a weird smell at first?

    I purchased this protector and got it delivered today. I was planning to wash and dry it before using it. How do you know when the mattress protector is fully dry (the directions say to take it out as soon as it is fully dry)? I obviously don't want to put a partially wet protector on the bed and also don't want to overdry and ruin the wool.
  17. I ordered one yesterday (the compact one with the odor/gas filter - I decided that it is good to be able to smell odors because sometimes they are a good warning, also it is a bit smaller). It at least has to work better than the Winix I have right now.
