We have maybe put on 10k total miles for both cars in the past 12 months.

Actually, not joking. Both the Saturn and the kids' car have a slow leak and we typically top them off for free at WaWa once/month.
But with COVID19 I probably need an air compressor to do this at home. Google says there are lots of battery-plug compressors in the $20-30 range. Tough to know which is best because all the on-line reviews have good and bad reviews. Anyone have a unit they like?? Maybe I should cross-post in carforums.net.

Realistically they could pay me, but it would take a lot.

So what's everybody eating for breakfast lately?
I just came to the realization that my wife was right (I hate when that happens). She has been telling me that my gastrointestinal gas issues, which significantly trigger my hernia discomfort, are mostly due to the oatmeal I have for breakfast 5 days a week. Now I've finally come to realize that the days I have eggs instead of oatmeal almost always result in more comfortable hernia days.
So what are you guys eating?

Need a better resolution map to see if I'm in zone 7 or 8. No timer needed either way.
Free air at WaWa? 
Fixed.

No kids, no dogs, and the hippies in the environmental science programs where I went to school convinced me that monoculture lawns are the debil.
I would be up for having a xeriscaped property, I just don't want grass. If I never own a lawnmower I could consider my life well-lived.

I think there are many silver linings to the pandemic. We, as a planet, needed something to snap us out of our stupor. Actively destroying said planet wasn't doing the trick, so the planet came up with another tack. And finally got our attention.

I've had the most ridiculous time setting up zone 2 irrigation for the northwest lawn. I'm changing it from 4 sprayers to 2 rotors, so I ran some new pipe out to the corner of the lawn, plug all the Tees for the olde sprayers and flush the pipe for 20 secs. Then put the swing joint and rotor on the end, open the valve and there's not enough pressure to pop the rotor up. Urrggghh.
So I put a cap on the swing joint, remove a plug from an olde tee, open the valve and I got Old Faithful pressure. So I uncap the swing joint, open the valve and dribbles.
For the run to the corner, I tapped into an olde tee that was 1/2" thread, so it choked down to 1/2 through the tee and couple inches more for a connector and a street elbow that put it back to 3/4 pipe that was about 6' long and rose about 2".
Maybe the necking down to 1/2" and then opening up to an uphill 3/4" run is impacting pressure that much? Seems unlikely, and I was really close to sitting down and working out the fluid dynamics of such a situation, bit then I decided screw it, gonna cut that 1/2" crap out of the equation. Dug up the tee, cut it off, made the whole run to the corner 3/4".
Turned on the valve, and it's dribbling out the swing joint.
I finally got the idea to pull the swing joint and check pressure. Full blown geyser!
Turns out there was a damn pebble in the run that wouldn't pass through the swing joint, but didn't get flushed out upon the earlier flushing.
What a day.
