(bear in mind I am NO expert) … but the way I’d play this:
use lots of old newspapers … and see if you can spot where the dripping is coming from and work your way back from there … you might even “line” the tubes with newspaper and then go upstream …
Thank you for mentioning the capacitors. The only thing I ever do to the outside unit is hose out the leaves — I’ve no guts around caps.
This is a stretch: is it possible condensate from the A/C is working it’s way into the old dehumidifier and leaking out from there?
Just what I was going to say. I took an a/c class decades ago, and this was one thing that was drilled into us.
So today I removed the little sump pump, cleaned the floor, disassembled the pump and cleaned it, etc.
I then discovered the source of the water leak. It wasn’t coming from the sump pump, furnace, or A/C unit.
In the second pic in my previous post, you’ll see the water heater on the left. Water is dripping from the pressure valve! Not sure how to fix that.
(And sorry for the off-topic.)
Give this a look-see and see if it helps; it seems legit.
To remove the pit from an olive, push the blunt end of a chopstick against the pointy end of the olive. This is the only way to get the pits out without smashing the olives.
I have my own method for removing the pit from a halved avocado, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else without caveats. So consider yourself warned.
There’s a popular method where you swing a big kitchen knife, hack into the pit, and twist it out. That works pretty well, but you’re still swinging a large knife with some force, so there’s potential for accidents, and the pit is often somewhat difficult to remove from the knife.
What I do is, I hold the half with the pit in my non-dominant hand, then take a smaller pointy knife in my dominant hand and carefully twist the point into the pit. Here’s why I wouldn’t recommend this-- it sounds like an accident waiting to happen: the knife could slip off the slippery surface of the pit and stab the hand holding the pitted half, right? But here’s the thing-- I use very little forward force with the knife. Even if I did slip, I’d be fine, since I’m using so little forward force. Avocado pits are softer than they look. It’s very little effort to twist the knife in until one gets enough purchase to twist the pit out. Then just fling the pit off the point of the knife into the garbage.
But again, if you do try this, be careful and do so at your own risk.
A reply to an ancient post, but… “barman’s friend”, a cocktail/mocktail your boss will not fire you for.
Add a dash of Angostura Bitters to iced water with lemon. Somehow even more refreshing than plain water.
It is alcohol based, but a dash is not enough to get anywhere near drunk.
I need to revise that old post. 
So at work I drink one Mountain Dew Zero and one Gatorade Zero each day. To get more mileage out of them, I tried mixing each with water.
I discovered that a 50/50 mix of Mountain Dew Zero and water tastes fine. Even a 20% MDZ / 80% water mix tastes fine. This allows me to get plenty of water while only consuming one MDZ.
But… I can’t say the same for Gatorade Zero; a 50/50 mix with water just doesn’t taste good for some reason. So I drink it straight. YMMV, of course.
The biggest safety tip to any pit removal method is to hold the avocado with a towel. Unless you’re doing a Conanesque swing/stab it’s unlikely you’ll penetrate to flesh.
Even easier than any knife trick is to hold the avocado in both hands and push the back of the avocado with your thumbs, as if you’re trying to turn it inside out, and the pit will rise up and pretty much plop out all on its own. A little flick with a knife or spoon is enough after, if the pit is a bit stubborn.
Hmm…I’ll have to try this method. The only downside I can imagine is if you want to get nice-looking slices it may squash the avocado too much. But maybe not. And of course if your goal is making guac it’s a non-issue.
I’ve never had any trouble working with avocados. I use a paring knife to cut it in half, working it around the skin so it splits into two halves with the pit in one one. I scoop the flesh from the un-pitted half with a spoon, then stick the tip of the paring knife into the pit and lever it out. If it doesn’t pop out easily I use the spoon to scoop out the pit. I’ve never cut myself doing this; it’s just a matter of being careful and not forcing things.
My husband mixes Mt. Dew, A&W, and fruit juices with water all the time. His reasoning for the pop is that he doesn’t like too much fizz, and he doesn’t like his juice too sweet. It doesn’t sound good at all to me.
Not a problem with an over-the-range microwave.
Over-the-range are a major problem for shorter types who dislike the risk of sloshing hot food in our faces.
This. I’m tall and my wife is short. I would never allow an over the range microwave in our house. I even find them dangerous, and I’m 6’3".
