I propose searching on the phrase (let's see ... something politically loaded) - trump impeachment progress - with no quotes. Is Sat 1AM your CENTRAL(?) time good? (in the span friday night through saturday morn). And you post the link you get to your search and I'll post the link I get to mine ... here? I think whatever browser we normally use is best, since one of the things about google is that it's reputed to alter its search results based on user history. If so, I have to say there's nothing for expanding your knowledge like getting an answer to your question that feeds your own prejudices and knowledge right back to you in a nice closed-loop!
Can Signy, Brenda and JSF join if they care to?
I'll do my best. I'm usually awake at that time, but with the winter weather outside and the lack of current employment, my sleep schedule has been somewhat erratic of late.

I'm mildly annoyed this morning...
Windy as hell here today. I think the cold front is coming back in.
I've blown the leaves off of my yard a record 4 times this year. That's as much blowing as I've done in the prior 3 to 4 years combined.
There isn't a single leaf left on any of the 4 maple trees on my corner lot, but there's still a ton of Oaks and other tree leaves up on neighbors yards. The stupid wind is blowing in just the right direction to bring them all across the entirety of my front yard. It looks like shit out there now.

Well, I have a couple of errands to run today before Mah jong. Then tomorrow I have mah jong in the morning and work in the afternoon. Friday I will probably run some stuff to a Thrift shop. Was going to do it today but I can't drum up that much energy. Same thing for Saturday.
I know I bought a Christmas tree and deccies but at the end of November I am now becoming surrounded by the stuff. And it is a little much for me. *sigh* No tree up for me until December maybe around the 20th. See how I feel.
I'll be popping in over your holiday to see what is what.
Later peeps.

Trying to wind where I am Jack. Trees are fluttering in it and I can hear some rattling as well as leaf blowers going.

Hey all - this is what's going on. We're just running a small experiment to see if, using one's normal browser, we get the same google result from googling - trump impeachment progress - no quotes, at more or less the same time; and posting the result link here.

Sounds like fun! I'll be there with bells on!
Just for kicks I'll also use DuckDuck, which is what I normally use. Supposedly DuckDuck uses the Google search engine but anonymizes your request, so theoretically I have very little "footprint" on Google
As I understand it, Google (says that it) tunes your search results based on your previous searches. So in theory our results should NOT be the same but reflective of our individual biases and preferences. I'd be very surprised if we all got the basic liberal pablum

Hi SIX, thanks for the product reference. I'll have to go to Amazon because as awesome as Menards sounds it seems to be a strictly Indiana phenomenon.
I do have pump sprayer but I was reluctant to use it for weed killer since it use it for insecticide and foliar feeding but I guess if I wash it out thoroughly it should be ok
I'll let you know what happens

Many years ago I was going to use a pump sprayer to clean my engine - for spraying on the degreaser (in that case, something like formula 409, but I forget exactly) - and I went to Ace for a replacement, since my original mysteriously failed. Where I was informed that an ordinary pump sprayer doesn't have o-rings and seals designed for solvent/ petroleum-based products, and that I'd have to get something suited for spraying on stuff like agricultural oil, instead of the normal kind of sprayer. Ace really does have helpful hardware folk.
Anyway, using the wrong kind of product in a sprayer can damage the sprayer. Who knew?

Seriously, I'd just buy the Round Up pump while your at it and save yourself the hassle of getting all gloved up to rinse the old one out. I ain't kidding when I tell you how good it is. You'll probably want to throw your other one away and buy a separate pump for the other stuff too. I'm cheap as shit, but this was one of those really lucky buys where I just happened to force myself to shell out the extra $5 bucks and I felt like I got $100 back immediately on the purchase.
But yeah... if you can get the killer on Amazon, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Best stuff I've used.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I didn't know that, but it makes sense. You're not even supposed to leave gasoline in your trimmer or leaf blowers either because the gas will literally eat holes in the fuel lines. Ask me how I know.
I knew you needed a special one for Bleach though. They say Bleach on them. :)
I'll do my best to be here Friday Night/Saturday Morning.
