Danno Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Nah, I don't think so. Operating System/Software/Malware conflicts plaguing the whole d@#n operation. Slower than my first Tandy. Worst part is . . . I'm trying to crank out productivity before GoodGuys but I don't have time to troubleshoot all the little electrons. So, they have me hostage til next week.
ChrisBcritter Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Well, shoot. First snow of the season did this: At least it mostly missed my car, and the limb on the roof didn't dent it.
Crazy Ed Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 At least it mostly missed my car, and the limb on the roof didn't dent it. Well, Christopher this almost could have been in Pleased Me also given the miss. Well if the Tree is Hardwood dry that sucker out and use it for slow smoking or chunks for Grilling. There's Nothing wrong with Lemons. It's just What you do with 'em!
charlie8575 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I was dead-tired at a reasonable hour for the first time in months (finally!)And awake an hour later.May try again soon.Charlie Larkin
unclescott58 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 It's suppose to snow anywhere from 1" to 2" here today. The radio is say it's going to be a wintery mix with slippery roads. I'm going to my niece's over in St Paul for Thankgiving diner. Not a great distance. And well worth the drive. But, why today? We've had great weather all month. And it's suppose to get nice again by this weekend and into next week. But again, why today when one has to travel?
High octane Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I've had a couple matters "irk" me today, yes on Thanksgiving Day. Hopefully next Thanksgiving will be better.

And it's suppose to get nice again by this weekend and into next week. But again, why today when one has to travel?We were very lucky. No where near the snow they predicted. A nice dusting. Little more. Sidewalks, driveways, and streets were warm enough to keep the snow melted. So no need for the snowblower or shovel. Turned out a lot better than expected!
ChrisBcritter Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Snow's all melted here too; the rain finished it off today. Just waiting for the piece of tree to be hauled off the lawn...
Danno Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 What irked me today? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving . . . and we have a lot to be thankful for.

bobthehobbyguy Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 My agravation last night was getting to my sistrrs house no more than 2 miles away. Had two deal with 3 stupid drivers. One was antsy to come out of their driveway right into my path as I wasmaking my left onto that road, second wanted to stop and block the lane and expected me to pull around with a blind hill about 30 feet after him, third was a huge 4x4 that wanted to straddle the yellow line on a narrow two lane row. I just get so tired with self absorded people.
cobraman Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 So last Friday we rented a car from Enterprise to take a trip to San Diego to spend the holiday with our daughter. We parked outside her apartment complex and all was fine till Tuesday evening, Going out to the car Wednesday morning I noticed the car ( 2015 Nissan Sentra ) looked like it was leaning. Upon closer inspection I found that the drivers side rear wheel was gone and brake drum was resting on the ground. I could not even install the space saver spare because the jerk (s) even took the lugnuts !! A flatbed picked up the car and we went to the nearest Enterprise for a replacement. Due to the holiday they had no cars !!! We will be able to secure one today.

Well hopefully the visit went well and you got to enjoy both a Great Meal with Family and a Fresh Seafood Dinner or to while on the Coast.
cobraman Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 It sucked but we didn't let it ruin our nice dinner on Thursday. Daughter had a total of 10 family members over and we had a great time. Got our replacement rental car today for our trip back to Arizona tomorrow. They gave us a Velositor (? ) . Not a bad little car ( our so it seems ) . Then we hit the San Diego Zoo for a few hours.
charlie8575 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Ice on the windshields of the cars. Cold air blowing through every crevice in this falling apart box of ticky-tack....Welcome to December. Charlie Larkin
crazyjim Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Hmmm. Must be something in the up up there. Sunny and going to 81 today in my neck of the woods.
Agent G Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Bright, sunny and cold here in the high desert. 34 degrees as we speak.G
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Ice on the windshields of the cars. Cold air blowing through every crevice in this falling apart box of ticky-tack....Welcome to December. Charlie LarkinYep, hit like a train here. Well, what can you expect? Welcome to December, indeed - warm in five months, got that to look forward to!
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Accounting for the wind chill, it was 8 here this morning before the sun rose. Gotta dig out a jacket...
XJ6 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 About 28 deg for the low in Sacramento California, Cowtown USA ?
unclescott58 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Had to leave my car at my mechanic's tonight for what he figures will be just over $1,100 worth of work. And he's the best and cheapest mechanic I know. For that price, the old Buick is getting a new water pump, serpentine belt, valve cover and intake manifold gaskets, plus a new plastic intake plenum. Not bad for a car with 122,000 miles on it, that still runs great. It's a 2000 LeSabre with the 3800 V-6. Overall it's been a cheap car to keep running. This is the first real major work, if you can call it that, made to the engine. So I really shouldn't complain. Still, a nice chunk of change I was hoping not to spend.Thankfully I finished my Christmas shopping this year, before Thanksgiving. So, it won't be as big of a burden as it could be at this time of year.Hard to beleive my Buick is now 16 years old. It still runs and looks great. I'm hoping it can go at least 16 years before I need to replace it. I'm that happy with the car.
