How is everyone doing? Had a bad month with our wifi provider but hopefully everything is back to normal. We shut ours off and were going with another cable company. We only have 2 in our area and they are both expensive. When the new cable company came to connect everything, they said they had to dig up the yard for some crazy reason. So they laid the lines or whatever they did and I had the slowest interent ever. Anyway, we are back to square one and I guess we have to stay that way as there are no other options. I don't have a cellular plan so I was without internet until yesterday. I felt like a kid who gets grounded - lol. Now I have lots of catching up to do. Congrats to Reddhot - looks like a fun win and great little cute packages!!!!
Hey, its good to hear from you! I only have one option of internet where I live...and I hate the data caps crap mine started! I understand how frustrated you are.

That a Pontiac 3.1?

*edit*
Upon closer inspection that is a 3.8.
Yup 3.8 intake blew on upper had piece fall into the lower trying to get out but guess turning crank caused small piece to fall down to piston. Hope it just mashes it and doesn't cause bigger problem. This car has been a nightmare. Guess if it last to get wife through few more weeks of college and a new job then hope to get a new one.

The 3.8 is usually a good engine. Of course the 3.4 and 3.8 are plagued by intake gasket issues.

My mom has a 3.4 that has started drinking a bit of water, only 129K on it. I dread changing out the gasket but I know it will be my brother or I who does it. She just had to get her transmission rebuilt also. Overall not a great car.

My wife's Saturn has 190K on it and it's been trouble free outside of replacing a few sensors.

Hey, its good to hear from you! I only have one option of internet where I live...and I hate the data caps crap mine started! I understand how frustrated you are.
It is so frustrating. Right now my modem and router are out on a covered portch which certainly is not centered for the best internet. I cannot get internet in most of my basement because it doesnt reach that far and I have a finished basement with tv and computer down there. The cable company won't move the equipment unless I get someone else in to rewire the house - crazy. We called the company and it is another $200 to get it wired for their cable so it is still on the porch. I am so mad about the whole deal....being without internet for a month and still in the same position we were in originally. We pay for a high speed internet but the only place we get close to what we pay for is in the yard, kitchen and living room. The rest of the house sucks and I like to watch netflix and hulu in the bedroom and sometimes I can get it and sometimes not. Anyway, enough of my troubles - hope everyone is ready to enjoy spring. Its a beautiful day here and about 70 degrees:banana:

Maybe you should try one of these routers.

AC1900 - Nighthawk DST Router & DST Adapter

Comes with a second adapter that plugs into an outlet and extends the WiFi range to eliminate deadspots.

Thanks I will look into them - sounds like it would help. It just gets me mad because my router is not that old and the cable guy said its perfectly fine. My friend gave me a cable extender that helps some but its older technology so probably the one you suggested might work. I guess I can always take it back if it doesn't cause I'm sure its not cheap.

Newbee into vaping here and glad to say off cigarettes for a little more than 2 weeks now. Was smoking about a pack a day for almost the last 2 decades.

This is the first time I have gone more than a day without a smoke.
Good for you - vaping is amazing!!!! I'm glad you are off the cigarettes!!!!
