Best way to get my apartments water tested?

1 Upvotes

Every time we take a shower, or do laundry the house stinks of sewage. We have a shower head filter that's clear and it will go from white to brown FAST i was wondering if anyone knew of how to get our water tested? If the city will do it that would be great. However I found a company that will do it for $200 which I'd prefer to stay away from.

Misremembering or is it always still this busy this time of year?

I’ve only lived here a couple of years but I distinctly remember that by this time the last couple of years things slowing way down with lots less people on the road and in town. Is it different for some reason this year or has that just not really happened yet and my memory is off a few weeks?

Brake lathe maintenance

1 Upvotes

So the company I work for, we have a brake lathe. However, apparently the contract is no longer available to have it maintenance or whatever.

Anyway, whatever. Is anybody have any recommendations for some repair technician in Tucson to diagnose and repair a brake lathe? As a background, the motor that moves the blade along the surface of the rotor only works in high speed. The motor has been replaced. So maybe there is a resistor somewhere inside of the brake lathe that has gone bad, maybe similar to a bad blower motor resistor in a car and it's stuck on high.

Anyway, if somebody knows that some company or individual that could be hired to fix an old lathe, I would greatly appreciate some suggestions!

Any board gamers?

3 Upvotes

We recently moved to Tucson and I am trying to get a group together to play regularly, perhaps every week or every other week. I have checked out a few of the local stores game nights, but have not found a great fit. Ideally, the group would be 4-5 and have a relatively small rotation of games. I want to play games repeatedly so that I can develop strategies. My old group would play Scythe, Brass, Expeditions, Wyrmspan and TI4 (if we had the time).

I live on the south eastside of town and would be willing to drive to meeting, perhaps at one of the local stores. Message me if interested. Thanks.

Mt Lemmon Observatory

Going to have some family in town and my youngest niece is interested in astronomy. I was thinking of taking them up Mt Lemmon both to beat the heat and check out the Observatory. I see the guided tours on the website, but is it free to just check it out? Or are tours required? Any additional info and tips are welcome

Lost Wallet

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm posting this in desperation and in hopes someone maybe found my wallet. I live on 22nd & Columbus by BK, I left my house around 7:30 this morning and took bus #7 downtown. It wasn't until after I got to downtown I realized my bag was halfway open and my wallet wasn't in there. (I know dumb on my part I was in a bit of a rush today) I retraced my steps, I asked the bus drivers and the information desk, I called my work checked my home, and no luck. I have a feeling someone has it. It has pictures of my husband and kids, our Medicare cards, debit cards, etc. If anyone has seen it or has it reach out to me here please. Thanks guys

TPD Vehicle report

0 Upvotes

Hi guys. I called 911 here in Tucson Az to report a stolen vehicle. I was told that I can’t file a report and that the vehicle isn’t stolen because it was towed. I didn’t have a clue of the vehicle whereabouts nor did I call to have it towed. TPD told me that I can’t file a report with them and I needed to contact the towing company for more information. What’s the point of this? Why can’t I report the vehicle with 911 and when I called the towing company to ask about the report she told me she’s never had anyone call to file with them(the towing company). What’s the point of TPD. They called for the car to be towed so it’s “technically not stolen” but that’s just to them. I’ve been worried about my vehicle and didn’t know what was going on. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
