Turns out the jack deal e ohh was operator error...Padding around the handle was keeping it from seating fully on the control valve...All good now!! Salem normally HF stuff won't cut the mustard for me...This jack had a ton of good reviews so I gave it a go...It jacked up my 2500 diesel Dodge today with no problemohhhh...Exchange warranty for 1 year and 3 months...

Just had a call from one of the peeps I helped quit...The button on his #91 Buzz pro quit...I about fell over...dang call the Smithsonian!! His 510 connection is also worn out..Truthfully I showed him the ropes and sites for supplies....helped a little from the git...I figured he went back too the stinkies...He's close too the B&M where I scored my Stick/Nauty and for the price it's a no brainer.....

All that old school wheel size searching and polishing...all that digging through mountains of tires for the correct ones....Finally I cut the block in the Dodge today with the new tires rolling!!!! So far all is great in that world...They're huge at 37 inches tall but ride like a Mercedes down the highway...well maybe a Mercedes truck..

If that dude blew smoke into my pets face......Lights out!!!!!!!!!

So.....Way back @ 82 I was touring with a band and running the sound...We all rented a house in Fayetteville, NC and were in town playing a local club. After the show a good crowd had gathered at the house for the late night party...Myself and a good friend are in the kitchen and I'm making a banana sammich...Now being we were never home before the show that day I'd been out sorting the yard...A little old lady lived beside us and had asked me for some yard help...I obliged and after finishing she shows me these kittens her cat had just had the day before trying to line up a future home for them...back too the sammich...That old house had one of those swinging doors too the kitchen...A kitchen that had just been remodeled with a jacked up microwave above the stove...that sumbeech was nice....Well that door suddenly swings wide and in bursts a guy I'd never seen before in my life....carrying a new born kitten....He throws it into that brand new jacked up microwave and starts punching buttons...I grabbed a hand full of hair and introduced his forehead and that microwave...Trust this....I attempted too kill him...Then everyone in the house comes into the kitchen and I'm standing over the dude who's unconscious and bleeding pretty dang good...I still got the banana in my hand...peeled half way down...the dang door too the new microwave is shattered and barely still hanging on by the bottom hinge...and then there's that kitten meowing his little azz off from the experience...I took the kitten back too the litter...drug that dude outta the house and only then finished making my sammich...Nanner and p-nut butter...Just like Elvis!!

I rely heavily on reviews for online purchases too. I like to check stuff out at Amazon before buying because they do not "screen" them first. I got a 3 year warranty on my Neato for $30. To me that was a no brainer as I am guaranteed to have a working Neato for at least 3 years.

OMG! You should have killed that guy dead! People that will do that to an animal have no regard for life. He may have ended up a serial killer. Yep, I love animals more than I love some people.

I am glad that it was operator error this time though. Beats the heck out of making a 90 mile drive round trip.

Oh, yeah. I like my nanner sandwiches with PB or mayo. YUM! Hope that you are getting some of this nice weather that we have been having up there. Sure does not seem like winter here.

ETA- we have to remember back in Tracy's Grannys Granny day, tobacco smoke was thought to be not harmful. back when adults would smoke up a room or a car with their kids piled in it. HA!

Sweet dreams Fran

Dee, I'm still hammering 2 BPs daily! I run my Nauty on the ProV Mini, but my Buzz Pros are still going strong with (yep!) M1A1 tanks. I still have my very first original purple Buzz

Saw your truck on the FB...sure looks sweet!

We still have our first 2 OBs too, Bov. Plus our BPs. DH got a new PCB in his OB right before Mike stopped carrying the OB parts. You know, like he promised not to do. That is when I really lost a lot of respect for NC. At the time, I had not bargained for a disposable PV. JMHO

That whole kitten thing happened so fast it was over before it started....When what he was doing registered in my brain I went on auto pilot....

Just had a nice long discussion with the BP guy...He's gonna get a Stick/Nauty...I got top caps and I got batteries...My beta Pro and payment for beta Pro are archived....no longer in use but not for sale either...

Yeah, I could imagine that freaked you out a bit. I know that it would me. We have not used our BPs or OBs in a long time but, still could not part with them.

My main PVs are my iStick and my Egrip. I do use my IPV mini with my Kanger Subtank though.

 

[salemgold]

I don't think that I ever mentioned my Delta tank. It uses triple coils and is extremely good for flavor. The coils are pricey but, I have been lucky enough to get them during 30% off sales at TW.

 

[Wharf Rat]

PB and 'nana good.... PB an jet puffed marshmallow BETTER

OB... sold to get BP........ ∞, beta ∞, ∞Pro and BP............ ALL Dead

 

[5cardstud]

I must have 4 old bp bodies around but no innards. Got the one Bo gave me and 2 Infinities that are still in use. Oh and I just finished eating my almost nightly Pb sammich. I never outgrow my need for pb. I get the pb and honey from the store and it's hard not to grab a spoon and forget the bread. I still have a buzz you need the screwdriver to adj.

 

[salemgold]

PB does go well with honey too. We have both of our OBs that we started with and the original screwdrivers lol

We just had our 3rd in the row double digit night. 21 this morning. It's all over now though and back to single numbers tonight.

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Good morning Fran.

 

[FranC]

Good morning,Wuzz

 

[Wuzznt Me]

I've got to rebuild the bottom of a wheel chair ramp at Church this morning. Nice weather here for outside. It's going to be 73 with two feet of sunshine. Kind of weather that makes the Chamber of Commerce smile in a tourist state.

 

[FranC]

Enjoy the weather,Wuzz

 

[salemgold]

I have this in the crock pot for dinner, and boy does it smell good!

Sunday Supper...Slow Cooker Brown Sugar and Garlic Chicken

Hey Bov, I just put this in the crockpot. Looking forward to trying it

Good morning, all.

That must have happened after people raised a little cain. I sold one of my extra OBs to someone and we thought it needed a new PCB ( ended up that it did not) that was when we were told that they were out and that they were no longer going to stock them. They must have found a few old ones laying around.

Morning folks

Dee I don't know how I missed the kitten story, but I would have gone wild on that guy too!

 

[El Dee]

Last I saw they're calling for 62* today....I'll take that...

I gotta send in one of my Pro Vs...Gotta print out a form and I've got no printer....Changed my password last I needed a printer and used BIL's...Yeah I forgot the code...It's a good one....even I can't crack it...

Needing to clean up around the shop and farm and sell some stuff I no longer need...Balanced the tires on the Ranger last week when mounting the tires for the Dodge...I do all the body/paint for that tire store and have for years...the guys are all great friends...It was the first chance they had to see the Ranger with the updates I provided it...Little over 200k and wears the tires better than a new truck..No oil leaks observed while we had it lifted up...Was debating throwing the Dodge on the market...It's very low mileage and my intent was to pay off the house with the money....It's a 2000 and Dodge started with computers on diesels in 98.5...The holy grail Dodges are pre 98.5 with my generation being second on the grail list...Trust that running those big tires isn't cheap...Sometimes I get tired of all that...Showing my age I guess....
