Good morning folks!
We're in the same boat as Drott. Same weather. About 90 again. Very humid. Probably some afternoon storms. My drive home was absolute he**. The rain moved in before I got too far down the road. Traffic was backed up for nearly five miles. For no apparent reason. Stoopid people are bad enough. Stoopid people behind the wheel are even worse.
Nothing too new and exciting planned today. Work. Home. Gym. Home. Bed.
Hey James, don't you have a place that's "all haircuts $10" or something?? I found a great one out here, it started at $8 and now it's up to $10. But the lady with the purple hair does a great job!
I'm about to go get mine cut off. 2 years ago, it was maybe an inch and a half long, and I decided to let it grow. So now it's down to my ...., and with this heat wave we've been having this year, I've about had enough of long hair.
Unfortunately, no. There are several hole-in-the-wall places, but they all charge more than Great Clips. They do a better job, but right now, every penny we can save gets saved.
I consider three inches of hair too long for me. I'm just glad Mrs E likes her hair no shorter than chin length.
What exactly is a petcock? It just doesn't sound right.
Is it a pet rock?
You're a bit old for those aren't you?
You leave me AND my pet rocks alone. No, it doesnt sound right. Which is one reason I say it so much.
PETCOCK!
Tiff, it's a little knob on the gas line of a motorcycle. A lot of bikes don't have fuel gauges, so the petcock lets you switch over to "reserve", which gives you enough gas to look for a station. Usually they have 3 settings, On, OFF and RESERVE. Off turns the gas all the way off, on lets you use the main contents of the tank, and reserve lets you use all the gas in the tank.
Thanks Bamrz!
Mine is a bit different though... It may be because my bike is carbureted, and not fuel injection. Or maybe becuase its so old. I have three positions. On, Reserve, and Prime. The On and Reserve are for exactly what Bamrz said. But the Prime position lets more fuel flow to the carbs' bowls to help it start. Once the temps come up, it gets switched back to ON, and then I ride on! Until I run out of gas... Which has happened on three occasions. The first time (soon after I bought the bike), I thought "PRI" meant "Primary". Which would mean I could still switch to the reserve. I was wrong. The second time, the petcock just didnt work, so I COULDNT switch to reserve, which forced me to take the bike to the shop and have the petcock rebuilt. The third time, I was just stupid and left the lever in the reserve position on accident, and ran out on the way to the gas station. Thankfully, I do learn from my mistakes. That doesnt mean I wont run out of gas again, but it does mean it wont happen for the same reasons!
Good morning. Of course I woke up 45 minutes earlier than I usually have to to go to work. That would be ok but I don't have to work today.
Alex has an appointment with a psychologist for an evaluation today. Social Security sent us a letter that said they needed more information before they could make a decision therefore they set this appointment and are paying for it. It's a couple of hours away and hubby is taking him. I have to take Morgan to an eye appointment. I'm going to an actual real eye doctor, not the kind that is at vision works. That is next week. I only get one eye exam a year with our insurance but I found a way around that. This doctor is a medical doctor and therefore it is considered a medical appointment so I only have to pay my regular copay.
The kids are driving me absolutely nuts. Mainly Alex. Need I say more?
Where would be a nice place to run away to?
No liking the kid driving you nuts. Or the psych appt. But I am glad its getting taken care of.
And dont feel bad about waking up early. I have the opposite problem. I wake up too late. I've been getting out the door late all week, and I am NOT happy about it. I dont like being late EVER.
Seriously though, we got lucky and they didn't seem to get them.
It's a bit wet (need to cut back on the water next time), and I wish the pot had my rice cooker's nonstick coating, but I can live with this!
