Many foreign particles can find their way into a spark plug well where it's easy for them to get stuck, especially in the unprotected, deep plug wells found on some vehicle makes. When washing your car, water also can find its way around cylinder head threads and into the combustion chamber, oxidizing components if you do not use your car for a few days. Still, you can get water out of a spark plug well using a simple strategy and a few common tools you may already have in your home.

Finish cleaning the spark plug well to remove any foreign particles you could not remove before using a shop rag. Be careful not to let the particles fall into the combustion chamber. [links]

Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug with the water around its well. Grab the wire by the boot with your hand and, as you twist the boot back and forth, pull the wire off the spark plug.

If any type of wooden plug is used, it is good practice to place a cement plug at the bottom of the well to ensure that sediment can not enter the well when the plug rots out. Put thick cement in thin plastic bags, drop them to the bottom of the well and then smash them open using drill pipe. more

These problems can be avoided by attaching (gluing, screwing, tying-on with wire) 3 centralizer strips to the top and bottom ends of the screen. Centralizers can be made from PVC casing, flexible green wood or 1.2 cm (0.5 in) wide iron straps (see Figure 11). Only fasten the lower end of each centralizer (so that it can "flex") and do not put any on the casing or the screen/casing may jamb during placement. Centralizers work best with 7.6 cm (3 in) casing; jamming may occur when installing 10 cm (4 in) casing in the 15 cm (6 in) borehole (the outside diameter of schedule 40 PVC pipe is 11.4 cm (4.5 in) and the diameter of couplings is 13.2 cm (5.2 in)! If this is a concern, just make the bottom plug the same diameter as the couplings. more

No casing or screen is generally required in the portion of boreholes drilled into rock. The first 2 - 3 m of the rock borehole should be 15 cm (6 in) in diameter; the borehole can then be extended using a 10 cm (4 in) bit (this maximizes the drilling speed which can be very slow in rock). The 11.4 cm (4.5 in) OD casing should be placed into the 15 cm (6 in) hole and carefully aligned with the (10 cm (4 in) hole. Fill the rock annular space with 40 cm coarse gravel followed by 60 cm coarse sand/fine gravel with 100 cm medium sand on top (this prevents fine sands and silts often found at the overburden-bedrock contact from moving into the well). Since the main water-bearing zone may be within the upper few inches of bedrock, only seal the casing into rock with cement where contamination is major concern. more

If you wish to avoid the use of chemicals, hand eradication of weeds and mowing at 1 - 1 1/2 inches during establishment will benefit your new planting. When using this method, your establishing buffalograss plugs will still benefit from fertilizer applications. here

Mowing is important during the establishment period to encourage the buffalograss to spread and to control weed growth. Mow the area at 1 1/2 to 3 inches as frequently as necessary to control weed growth. If left un-mowed, your grass will reach a height of 3 to 8 inches, depending on variety and your local climate. There is no set mowing height for these buffalograss varieties. Just mow to the look you desire. In preparation for winter in Zones 6 and below, mow to a height of 2 to 2 ½ inches in late summer and early fall. Remember to mow to 1 inch or less in the early spring. here

What is a Smart Power Strip?

[sevyanfellow]

Pollution is a problem in many parts of the world, with airborne particles affecting people’s health or triggering allergies. Air purifiers can keep the air quality in your home at a safe level, and a smart plug can help you automate this process. A simple idea would be to use a smart plug to turn on your air purifier twice per day automatically. Or, if you have an air quality monitor at home, such as Awair , you could create an IFTTT applet that would turn on your smart plug, and therefore your air purifier, if the air becomes unhealthy. more

A good solution here is to use a smart power strip, such as the Kasa Smart WiFi Power Strip by TP-Link , to handle all of your office equipment. This will allow you to turn off all the devices remotely when they’re not being used. You could also use a standard power strip plugged into a smart plug. But if you do this, make sure the devices plugged into the power strip do not draw more power than the smart plug can handle.

SanDisk’s 256GB Ultra Fit Flash Drive is another quality product for the secure storage of files. It supports fast USB 3.1, Gen 1 (originally USB 3.0). It’s capable of transferring SuperSpeed up to 5 Gb/s. That’s half what USB 3.1 Gen 2 can achieve, but it’s impressive nonetheless, and cheaper. The drive also comes with SanDisk’s SecureAcces encryption software and RescuePRO data recovery. [links]

It’s also possible to connect your external drive to use only as a removable media. You can then free up space in SHIELD TV, and easily share files between other devices. The removable approach doesn’t let you install games or apps, though, so decide how you want to exploit your extra storage.

It’s incredible to have so much storage capacity in a portable card no bigger than a thumbnail. That’s what you get with the Samsung 256GB EVO Plus Class 10 UHS-I microSDXC. It’s also durable considering the tiny size and build of this thing. Samsung’s 4 protective layers include temperature, X-Ray, magnet, and water proofing. The company claims it can survive up to 72 hours in salt water. [links]
