LBlack14 Chillin' like a villain. Pay and the girls are playing in "The Classic in the Country", girl's high school basketball showcase in Berlin, Ohio (Amish country), this weekend, Sunday and Monday.
johnnydoom Hard day of work. Boss retired today and one of my former reports hinted that he will be my new boss. Not a bad thing since I pushed to have him advanced and have enormous respect for his ability and humanity. Son’s truck wouldn’t start again. The positive battery terminal connector had a large crack in it preventing good clamping and electrical contact. Changed the battery out two days ago thinking it was the problem and never noticed the crack. Oh well, battery was about 5 years old anyway. $10 connector and 10 minutes of work and he’s back on the road. Vegging in the easy chair looking for something to watch now.
Par4QC johnnydoom I had the exact same problem a month or so ago in the truck!! The terminal was bad, and then I noticed the date on the battery. Then checked the car, and ended up with 2 new batteries. 5 years went by fast. So did a couple 100s. 😒
johnnydoom Par4QC So did a couple 100s. 😒 Yeah. Advances in battery technology really lowering those prices 🙄. Thank goodness our government subsidized all that research or they would probably be $500.
garyt1957 This morning the washing machine wouldn't spin. It's 20 years old so thought about just buying a new one but then headed to youtube. Turned out to be a coupler that was broken . $10 part and some work lying on the floor and it's good to go. Gotta love youtube.
garyt1957 LBlack14 I can't be laying on the floor anymore. I'm getting there myself. It's not so much the laying, it's the getting up that's hard
Rickochet LBlack14 I can't be laying on the floor anymore. I can still lay on the floor. I just can't get back up. ☹
Sneakylong Going to the International Mall in Tampa. We have gift cards to Tommy Bahama, Lilly Pulitzer and Talbots. And Lunch will be at the Cheesecake Factory where we have a gift card as well. Then home to watch some playoff football. And will check in here and there on the Sony Tournament.
Typhoon Sneakylong Lunch will be at the Cheesecake Factory Nice! Good luck reading the menu/War and Peace.
Sneakylong Typhoon True. It’s one of a very few restaurants that have a large menu that does everything well. Probably going with the Chicken Caesar Salad.
LBlack14 I've been guilted into staying home with the dog, instead of leaving him with my mother. Last trip to Amish country for the seniors and "The Classic in the Country" and I get to stay home with Shithead. Not happy.
Par4QC johnnydoom I should have noted that both together was only around 200. WallyWorld got good deals, and great batteries. They do last the years stated. In my usage, YMMV.
Typhoon LBlack14 I didn’t want to sound like a geezer and say “ bring a flashlight so you can read the menu.” But you’re absolutely right. I think you and I talked about it a few years back…it’s Fuckin stupid
