My computer's been freezing up lately. Can't watch but a few videos on youtube and have to restart to get Firefox going again. Started checking on the programs listed in the "install/uninstall" page of the control panel, found 3 CD/DVD burning programs I didn't even know were on here. I belive that means it came with 4 programs to that allow it to burn a DVD. Now if I could figure out where all my memory goes, I got it back up to about 5 gig free from 1 1/2, and now I'm down to 1 again. Moved a lot of pictures onto a flash drive, so something is eating up memory on me. Tempted to do a re-boot and start over. Could be remains of every software update hidden on here, how could you ever find it all?

Hey I had to start somewhere, and it was something I hadn't seen on the shelf before!!!!!!!

I think somehow Bark has......telepathecally (sp) rubbed off on me.....I'M STILL AWAKE!!!!!! I had about 5 hrs sleep Saturday night and got up at 4:40 Sunday morning......been up ever since.....WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME???? I guess I better start wearing a foil hat when I come into the breakroom!! (hoping to thwart any electronic waves that might keep me awake.)

And counting sheep doesn't help. Just gets you excited.

On a somber note:
The news said that the plane that crashed in Soldotna today killing all ten was a floatplane. It is not.
Its usually parked about 1 mile as the crow flies from my house. I have chartered it before.
The pilot was very experienced so I don't know what happened.
His father died about 12 years ago. He managed to land a plane that had passengers than died from a heart attack.

Dang it, you beat me to it.

You heat water in a water heater to make hot water. You don't need a hot water heater if the water is already hot.

What a weekend. Fireworks related garage and car fires, another water rescue
Then 5 yo falls into the river. 3rd day of the search for her. That will teach me for taking an overtime shift. Sunday was a great day in the pool with my 5yo grand daughter, ().. Glad that week is over. Time to break some knuckles.

Just when I'm sick of working 2 jobs crap happens in the city then I look forward to wrenching to take my mind off of the crap. Works good.


Y'all have a good week and once again, squeeze them loved ones!

Good morning, this is just a quick flyby as my day gets going.

I can't get the quote function to work the way I want so I will do this old-school.

Chaikwa - a cluth is a clutch when you suffer from FFS (Fat Finger Syndrome) when typing on an iPad. An abbatoir is where meat is slaughtered and then cut and packed. I couldn't really just call the place a butcher when the steer walked itself in one door and came out the other door frozen and in boxes and wax paper.

I think I have mentioned a couple of times that this week is the Calgary Stampede. I heard on the radio this morning about one of the competitions. I will tell you all the name of the competition, but keep in mind this is a family rated site if you reply. The competition was in the sheep barns and it is the 'wool bagging competition'. Apparently it is a times event and the point is to see which sheep shearer can get 30 pounds of freshly sheared wool into a little canvas bag. I heard the name of the competition and nearly drove off the road laughing.

All right all y'all. Play safe and keep it between the navigational beacons.

Morning, just a fly-by.

Morning gang. Well looks like my left flapper is going to be broke for a while. Tore my left Labrum and will need 7 anchors to reattach. Looks like 10-12 weeks of recovery. Not looking forward to this one. Looks like ya'll are going to be my best friends while I'm laying on the couch for several weeks.

chaikwa

The kids is what always got to me, more so AFTER the event instead of during, thankfully. Not much adult related ever bothered me, but if I were in your shoes right now I'd be a mess.

Nothing is working correctly here this morning. Situation normal... you know the rest.

When did you get your pilot's license?

Go to work! You can lay around there just as well as anywhere. Come to think of it, that's about all you do there to begin with, so no one will notice the difference!

Just got back from the welding store. It's the circuit board. Only $1100 too! I contacted Miller about the problem and the reply I received last week was that someone would contact me today. We'll see. I've been a True Blue Miller customer for over 30 years but that may change.

It's the very reason I quit the Brown County S&R Dive Team. Recovering an adult body from the river is a little easier than pulling a 5 year old. Water can 'alter' a body in a devastating way in a very short amount of time.

NE, clear your cookies file. some sites toss ads onto the drive, activated by diff programs then.... glad you are happy with oatmeal in the store ,snicker.

whoa, had to duck all the DTR ghosts flying around.......

Bark, learning that for such a large state, good people make it a 'small world' when a job is well done/good folks remember. I was sorry to read that plane went down....

Cincy, heh. finally found a sheep you couldn't win over.....
(sorry to hear, do what the docs tell ya boxer boy) smooth healing to ya!

Thoughts for Bob and family. Goes for twojobTimtoo!

Justwannabeme

pilot license: too funny! obvious, but funny.

isn't this the one that rides on the truck? not to be rude, but time for an isolation system (rubber mounted panel for support)? eek.
especially now during a project. eek.
$$$ eek.

support for ya brotha. pat on back. pancakes if ya want em....

Hi
Bye
from Indiana... heading west and north now...might find a storm or two.

chaikwa

Yep. The panel the board is mounted to is attached directly to the frame the motor is mounted to, and it produces more vibration when it's running than a truck on air ride would ever think of. I think I've hit a nerve because I have an engineer from Miller calling me now wanting pictures and a detailed description. Almost like this isn't the first one they've ever seen.

The BOARD being on a vibrating tray isn't the real problem here. The ceramic resistor that hangs off the side on cheap little copper brackets is the problem. If the mounts were made of something heavier than tin foil, (literally!), they wouldn't have broken and the board wouldn't have shorted out.



Scotty, you were in IN and didn't stop by to say hello?
