60+ year old thread.

Hello?
Tough crowd. Tip your waitress.

 

it's almost time for my nightly pinot. but first a bowl of cinnamon life with raisins sprinkled in and oat milk on top.

watching nancy grace on youtube lol

i love nancy's sarcasm.

whenever she talks about dallas fort worth she says: "no lack of business there" referring to crime levels lol

 

LOL, that'll do it for ya.

 

did that work for you? I have always, after disconnecting the hard wire, push the button to discharge, re connect the hardwire, then insert new battery.

 

I finished up my furnace installation today. Fab shop did a great job on the sheet metal.



Only 1 trip to home depot for some new 4" vent pipe.

$1,040 total cost for this job.

 

Amazing work. Very good and serious respect!

Cooked this loafer smoked then barbi.

 

it's still going off........ugh. If I hold the button while it's going off, it then changes to CO detected.....then to FIRE FIRE..... omg. Oh boy.

 

Nice

 

Sounds to me like one or more of the units are done. You likely need to replace them. How old are these smoke detectors? They generally last up to 10 years but often one or two units will fail before that. If they are approaching 10 years or are beyond that , just replace them. They are easy to replace but If you don’t feel comfortable doing so , have an electrician do it. Do not go without smoke detectors, they save lives. They saved my life 30 years ago.

 

Getting ready for the rack

 

In the rack. Reading TW.

 

I think we are getting into the realm of TMI

What the hell is with people nowadays? It's like a trend or something to find the most outrageously overpriced thing, that because of it's price it has no real use, and then pay list price and pay more to modify it so it's even more useless... so you can brag to people that don't really care about you over social media about how little you care about money. And these guys have figured it out.
Somebody is gonna buy this thing and want it lowered and made into a convertible...

 

Just nuts wow

I don’t even agree with their drivetrain choice. The price yes, well they can ask whatever

 

$340,000 for that is obscene. Even if you have gobs of money it’s just obscene. I had a 1976 F100 4x4 I bought new in 1976. Loved that truck. Wish I still had that truck today, I’d probably ask about $400,000 for it .

 

Good morning. Home gets power washed this morning. Then off to my sisters vacation home in Ocean Pines, MD. Party at my cousins home on Saturday in Delaware. Back home on Sunday to put dismantled shed into bags for pickup. Going to be a bust weekend.

 

I have a short story in a similar vein. I spent almost 16 years working part time for a Harley Davidson dealership in the parts department. Even though I was only part time I was one of the more informed parts people they had and they actually had business cards printed for me and I got commission on my sales so that should tell you I knew my job well. Had a young lady walk in who happened to be riding a Suzuki and was interested in trying to find a windshield for it as the local Suzuki dealership told her no one made a windshield for that bike. Right off the bat this has me pissed off because I know there were several aftermarket companies that offered something for her bike. Grabbed a couple of parts catalogs and found her a nice one that was made with a slight color gradient with various bike colors near the bottom gradually fading into a light smoke then clear at the top. We found a shield that was purple, similar to her bike and available in an appropriate height with mounting kit. Being a special order she had to pay for it in advance which she had no issue with. Money changes hands, I place the order and this should be a win-win.

Manager asks me why I'm selling Suzuki parts. I suggest that while she's riding a Suzuki right now what does he think will happen if/when she decides she might be interested in a Harley? Good customer relations are priceless and all sales should be good sales. He was NOT my manager for too much longer. FWIW she traded that bike in with us about 2 years later on a Harley Davidson and told the salesman straight out it was because she had gotten help from us in the past.

 

Morning kids , beautiful day, be safe out there it’s knucklehead weekend
