Tank birthday, 55+ years

This was a test. I am having trouble with my keyboard, but it could be my brain so disregard this.

I think most of the berries will be lost in a juicer but I didn't try it. If you don't have a juicer, how are you going to juice the beets, carrots, celery and apples?

I put the frozen berries, ginger, tumeric, black pepper and cherry juice in a blender.

Remember, a juicer s a different animal than a blender

Without buying a juicer, couldn't you just blend everything you needed to juice and the pour it through a permanent coffee filter (the metal mesh kind) and accomplish the same thing? I mean, pretty sure a juicer is just a blender with a strainer, isn't it?

You passed the test. Congratulations!

I would assume you could just blend everything but blending beets s going to give you a muddy texture "juice" that I doubt you will get through a metal sieve much less a coffee filter. You really need a juicer for this.

I bought a juicer my wife is not happy because its so bulky . She knows me too well and said I will bet you will use it once and never again , Luckily my hearing is bad at times

It seems I need a new laptop. This is the third one I got. The first 2 were defective so I sent them back to Amazon. This one is about 7 months old and I got it on Amazon refurbished.

The keyboard misses letters so when I type, I have to go back and put in the missing letters. Very annoying.

Best Buy can't fix it and said they need it for 6 weeks and it may cost more to fix it than to get another one.

It's about $600.00 or $700.00 for a new one so I will just get a new one as I am not having much luck with a refurbished one.

At least they are a lot cheaper than they used to be. My first computer was wood.

You might want to look into a Chromebook. Much less expensive, under $300, and does most of what a laptop can do. Granted, much less storage, but you can work around that.

Just a thought.

After i discovered Lenovo i wouldnt want anything else. Solid state hard drive that is almost intantly ready to use after touching the power button. They arent cheap but its the fastest one i have ever seen.

Paul is right about the juicer, a blender wont get things nearly as fine or liquid.

Thank You Very Informative

That would be VERY frustrating Paul. I would think the pads under the keyboard on top of the circuit board could be cleaned with electronic cleaner and that might fix it. If not you could smash it into little pieces after you get a new one. I am not much of a tech guy so there might be something else going on that i know nothing about.
How was your dinner party tuesday? Hopefully Dale was able to enjoy it.

 

[Paul B]

Our dinner party was great. The girl who owns the place gave us our own table and everything was free. They had an Irish DJ and Irish dancers from a dancing school for about 15 minutes of entertainment which was cool.

 

[atoll]

Seeing you like Irish dancing Paul. Here is a photo of my granddaughter Tabitha my daughter Katie put up on here Facebook page. Tabitha is a champion Irish dancer here in England. Her grandmother was born in Dublin Island. Tabitha is just 11 years old.

Very cool and very cute. My Grand Daughter just landed in Taiwan. She went with her school as she is learning Mandarin. I think it would have been easier and cheaper to just hang out in Chinese restaurants.

 

[Paul B]

OOOOohhhhh NNoooo. I just came into my workshop/man cave and looked at my tank. It was all cloudy so I couldn't see 2" into it and there were spots on everything.

I didn't know what to do.

Then I realized my reading glasses fogged up when I came inside, so I cleaned them and all is well.

Bacterial blooming on your glasses. I hope you cleaned the spots away with copper glasses cleaner or it could wipe your eyes out if not your tank. You have been getting warning about it for 50 years from the QTers only a matter of time you see.

My granddaughter, on the right here, just went to Taiwan with her school. She is studying Mandarin. I tried to explain to her that it would be much cheaper if she just went to a Chinese restaurant.
