Hittman's Hideout

[hittman]

Good morning. I was going to replace the battery in my daughter's Iphone XR and ordered a battery kit from iFixit. I had replaced batteries in some of the older phones for the kids over the years so thought it would be no big deal to do this one until I looked at the instructions. I looked online and Best buy will replace it for $49 which isn't much more than I paid for the kit so I sent the kit back and told my daughter to just take it to best buy when she gets a chance. There are a lot of things that have to be taken apart to change the battery and some of the screws are different lengths so if you get screws in the wrong place then you could damage the phone. Not to mention that the screws are so small that I can barely see them with my old eyes.

Good Morning. Cannot believe you were going to try that, Hitt.

Good Morning. Cannot believe you were going to try that, Hitt.

In the past I had replaced batteries in iPhone 5 and 6 so thought it wouldn’t be bad to do until I saw the instructions. You had to take a lot of things loose and it sounded like a nightmare trying to keep track of the different screws.

Good morning, hitt and PT.

Don’t blame you for not wanting to do that battery, hitt. Sounds like a nightmare.

 

[PTJD]

Good Morning, yep let the pro's do it! Decent weekend here mid 60's.

 

[FranC]

Good morning, PT 30 for us today.

 

[hittman]

Good morning. We’re looking for 48 today then a couple days in the mid 50’s.

 

[FranC]

We made it to 30.

 

[PTJD]

Well our temp dropped a bit this week. Was a little cold walking to the gym.

 

[hittman]

Good morning. Still about 50 today with some cooler weather coming. This is about the mildest winter I remember but it’s not over yet.

 

[PTJD]

OK it was a bit cold with North winds.

 

[FranC]

29 this morning with the weather saying 37 for the day.

 

[hittman]

It says snow for us after rain all day yesterday. Not sure how it’s going to be since it’s 35 now with a high of 37.

 

[FranC]

Snowing here now. Could be 6 inches plus.

Snowing here now. Could be 6 inches plus.

You can have it all. It’s supposed to be a wintry mix Saturday afternoon so decided not to drive to Springfield to see my daughter. I’ll go another time when there isn’t bad weather.

 

[PTJD]

OK back to mid 60's today.

 

[hittman]

Good morning. Although 60 would be great, I really can’t complain since our winter has been very mild. I haven’t had to shovel snow once so far.

 

[FranC]

The snowstorm didn't amount to much. About 2 1/2 inches.

 

[hittman]

Good morning. We are still scheduled for snow this afternoon.

 

[FranC]

Looks like our next snow arrives here tomorrow late afternoon. 6-7 inches they say.
