I'm on a home improvement kick
Really it has to do with being home so much and the pandemic.
It started with faucets. Just a minor annoyance, where the side spray hasn't worked in 3 years, even though I replaced the spray (all under warranty). Of course, it's not the spray, but the diverter inside the body of the faucet.
From that job, it took off with all kinds of stuff.

anyone paying income tax now?
I owe the state, so I am mailing the return today.
Why file electronically when it costs money, and I owe, right? lol
I am used to a decent federal refund because I contribute more--that came very fast this year when I e'filed. I save this money until August, at which time I use it for the school taxes (we get 3 tax bills in PA, the school being the heftiest due 8/31).

This Digital Location Tech Could Help Emergency Crews Find You In The Wilderness
What3words divides the surface of the entire Earth into 57 trillion squares, each about 10 feet (3 meters) on edge. It then assigns a unique three-word label to each patch so hikers can find a trailhead, mail carriers can deliver the mail and tourists can find their vacation home.

the new garmin express (stopped working )
I down loaded the new garmin express, and after a couple of days i could not get it to come up on my HP desk top computer. I had to get microsoft help and they took over my computer and said that the new up date was causing this. So i went back to the old one and no trouble! Has any one had this problem?

Password issue
I've tried three times to change my password. The form "accepts" the password but the new password doesn't work. I end up asking to reset my password. Is anyone else seeing these problems?

More than you want to know about GPS
...but an interesting read. See https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/06/the-long-technological-...
speaking of taxes (property)
Here in PA, we get 3 bills. One sewage/township, one county, and school. The three added together is our total liability.
The first 2 are due 3/31 and 4/1, and the big one, the school, 8/31.
Personally, I hate taking large amounts out of savings, but it's life.
