They work IME. Some of them are pretty fragile, though.Quote:

Used to have the gold band, but damn near lost my finger when I wedged my finger accidentally in a crack - jumped down and the ring stayed. The finger thankfully slipped out but not without some damage.
My kid uses one and digs it for sure. Way better than scraping. No issues with it blowing away yet but his parking spot is fairly protected from the wind.Quote:

I just hit it with the -40 windshield washer juice a couple times and let it sit for a minute. Run the wipers and presto, clean and clear.
I’ve also seen them with elastic loops that go around the mirrors and that seems to work well tooQuote:

I used to deal with Work Comp for the trucking industry and this is surprisingly common.Quote:

I have used a big piece of cardboard in the past and that has worked surprisingly wellQuote:

YMMV of course
I'd love to see pics of a piece of cardboard entombed in half an inch of ice on a windshield. ;)
I picked up one of those windshield covers at Costco, half off, so $10. Seems like it could be useful for not having to scrape ice - but then I have to remember to put it on the windshield every time I park for overnight. And it's not icy every morning. Today, it rained/snowed a little overnight, and there's a layer of bumpy ice on the windshield, which is always a pain to scrape off.
For $10, guess I'll try it.
Is a honeycrip still the best apple variety for eating out of hand
Generally speaking, I'd say yes... but I'm eating one right now and if I'm honest, it's a disappointment.Quote:

Granny Smith.
As sour as Benny's disposition.
We found after having a few apple trees in our front yard that the difference between tree ripened and grocery store apples can be as big as the difference between vine ripened tomatoes and store-bought.
So if you can get tree ripened Pippins around October, that's pretty sublime. If you're thinking about the grocery store, I agree that honey crisp ain't bad. Cosmic Crisp was created to store better than honey crisps, so at a certain point in the year, say March or April until the apple harvest, they might be a better bet.
Braeburn. They sweeten up really nice if you leave them in the fridge.Quote:

Those are good. I'm also a big fan of Galas. IMO, they key to buying any hand apple is to look for slightly under-ripe specimens that still have a tinge of green at the blossom end.Quote:
