Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[CMD-Ky]

Oh, the quick lubes! Some (most) are completely incompetent or crooked or both. Once back in the '80's, they took off the oil filter leaving some of the old gasket still on - no good seal. To compensate, they cranked the new one on with a filter wrench which failed completely after a mile. Fortunately, I caught it before damage. I had it towed home and fixed the problem. I told the shop about the problem, to no avail. Twenty-four bucks, I just ate it. As I wrote this I realized that I can still get angry. I was lucky, pressure gauge not a light.

A strap wrench from Sears was my salvation with a bad cut and bruise on my hand and on my wrist.

I trust no one. Either because they intentionally rip you off or are totally incompetent. About late 90's I went to one of them quick lube joints to get my oil changed. Didn't have time in those days to do it myself. The snot nose under the truck says my exhaust is about to go out. Here it is 2021 and I have the same exhaust.

Power has been out since 3:15 this afternoon, and it's starting to cool down inside. Went to Bojangles for supper, but no TV, no Kendall and no light is beginning to aggravate Mamaw.

What knocked it out?

"Automobile struck our Equipment", which means a drunken yahoo probably ate a pole.

But of course it is!! Nothing says "kitty cat lives here" like a mysterious lump under the fresh sheets!

We only need a bird to perch on a power line for our juice to go out.

At least he doesn’t think play time begins at 3AM.

Morning! Good to hear from you.

Good to see yall are still here too
been having some ruff days for the last few weeks and its not been too fun the bone chemo is really kickin .... and all I want to do is sleep....
when I am awake, the need for additional pain meds is required also, I had the covid vaccine ( the 2 parter) and the first shot was a bit obnoxious, but the second part it was absolutely the roughest vaccine I have ever had... ended up getting damn near every side effect except for the death one. Might as well have had the live virus. took almost a week to get over the "symptoms". The headaches were the first sign, then the chills/fevers/sweats combo kicked in and was tired beyond tired... between the runny nose and the loss of taste and appetite made eating so bland and boring... its weird how the loss of taste and smell makes eating a chore... with those 2 sensory inputs, eating is boring, even the vape lost its allure.
anyway need to get into a shower, I have 3 "fun time" activities scheduled for today... a covid test, blood lab work and a full body MRI... hope the metal rod in my leg doesnt cause any issues...

till next time

I got the J & J one-shot, no problems. The troubles you have suffered, my friend. I do hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for you, and somehow, someday you can get back to being as normal as you once were.

Good Morning Army. Power came back on around 3:30 am. Household running normally again.
Finish up filtering my extracts today. And maybe an old man nap somewhere in there.

Have a Safe and Blessed Day

Papaw glad you got your electricity back on. I smile every time I see your retired under your name. Good for you. Enjoy the time with Natasha, and work on that honey do list a little at a time. When my dad retired, it was not a huge change for my mom. My Dad was either fishing, hunting, going to garage sales, or hanging out at the local coffee shop solving world problems with his friends. Times seemed more simple then.

Good morning Arm!

The paint wore off on the plastic trim piece on my Aegis Solo. I removed it and repainted it. The photo displays the color significantly brighter than it is in reality. It blends with the black much better than this photo suggests.

I am totally impressed with these mods. I paid a measly $26 for them and they just keep going without a flaw. Of course it helps they're shock resistant, water resistant, etc. Been using this Solo for more than a year and a half. No signs of quitting. A nice, reliable, solid, compact, comfortable mod.

Just another outrage in a slew of them lately . Most of my " content " I could care less about , and yeah it's about principal mostly . Thing is I use email to communicate with my Dr. and my medical records are online on the hospital's patient portal . I'll be damned if Microcrap is entitled to those . I have the means to completely circumvent them . It still galls me that I have to though . And yeah big tech is overrun with traitors to the American people .

I did not get that. Could you scan and post? Full time Linux looks better and better.

We are way way past our ability to do much of anything about big tech.
