morning, atty! hurry up with that hard drive ;)

Well, the way MS does backup/restore in Win 8 is really hard for this kind of stuff....you basically have to do a "system image" backup and then special-boot and restore it. It's strange. And I have to drop the bad drive out of the volume span in the rebuild process.

So I'm probably taking after Fran today. "Hurry" is not in the vocabulary today, only "careful". ;) :)
Laterz.

Good morning


Hope Fran gets her internet back up and running soon.


the times has an article on chinese QC. It's a few days old, but i didn't see it until this morning

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/14/b...garette-boom-lacks-oversight-for-safety-.html

excellent article. those knock-offs may knock you off. I don't use any Chinese ejuice, and only deal with what I believe to be reputable ejuice dealers... and very few at that. And some of the knock-offs of atties (rda,rba, rta) from Chinese manufacturers leave question of what some of the metals they use in them. Joytech has obviously seen this problem with opening up manufacturing in the U.S., which comforts me some. I have relative confidence in Kangertech.

Morning all :unsure:



Let's recount TC's latest exploits :rolleyes:

1) - After financing the cost to have an upper front tooth replaced with an implant; it was determined that the implant base was not seating in the bone. If I could just have the two teeth on either side of the missing one replaced with implants, there should be no problem - yeah right, I have an extra $15K (or more) in my back pocket. So, I got a partial denture instead; which looks great; but fits like crap.

2) - Yesterday while on the way home from the doctor' office where I had a mole/skin tag sliced off my neck; a lady pulls up next to me beeping her horn. It seems that my brake lights are on, except when I put on the brakes :facepalm:

GM Recall:
Recall Title:

BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION

Recall Description:

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2004-2012 Malibu, 2004-2007 Malibu Maxx, 2005-2010 Pontiac G6, 2007-2010 Saturn Aura vehicles. On these vehicles, over time an increased resistance can develop in the Body Control Module (BCM) connection system and result in voltage fluctuations or intermittency in the Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) circuit that can cause service brake lamp malfunction. As a result, the service brake lamps may illuminate when the service brakes are not being applied, or may not illuminate when the service brakes are being applied. Additionally, cruise control may not engage. If cruise control is engaged, additional service brake pedal travel may be required to disengage it. Service brake pedal application may not be required to move the shift lever out of PARK, or additional service brake pedal travel may be required to move the shift lever out of PARK. Traction control, electronic stability control, and panic braking assist features, if equipped, may be disabled. Service ESC and/or Traction Control tell-tales may illuminate with this condition.

And I can drop my car off at the dealer on Wed Jan 7th to have this fixed. Luckily not going any where during the holidays.


3) - For the past 5 - 6 years I've bought the wife a gold-dipped rose (The Forever Rose) for her birthday (this Sunday). This year they offered payment with Paypal (yippee!). Ordered it yesterday, didn't get a confirmation email. Emailed company this morning to check on the order. OH THAT'S RIGHT, wifey set up the Paypal acct so the confirmation email went to her email address :facepalm: No real biggie, she more or less expects to get one; but still ... :rolleyes:




HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!
