Mapp gass is your friend

 

Yea I torched it for about an hour off and on. Without much purchase the only thing I have to twist it out is a pair of vise grips. Don't think that's going to cut it.

 

I guess I am way over thinking things. They have special stud pulling tools, a quick phone call and im going to borrow one tomorrow.

 

TV = Rabbit Ears
Interwebz = Time Warner Cable. Costs us around $30 a month.

Also, good morning-ish to all.

 

Hello peps. Back to work for me this morning.

 

Back to school tomorrow

 

Both the macbook and the 4GB ram kit are out for delivery today!!!! YUSSSS

 

Yay! Summer is here!

 

Oh god, I know right? It's soooo humid! Thank god for AC

 

I have the AC on in my house. My girl thinks it's too hot. Plus all of the electronics don't help either. Driving around the breeze still feels nice. Still debating on sacrificing the AC in the truck to use as an air compressor.

 

I'd just add an air compressor. No need to make sacrifices. Haha

 

I rarely ever use it. I figured why add something to the truck when I can repurpose something already in it.

 

I've never seen this mod

 

Met someone with a 1st gen who had done it.

 

Just googled it. Seems pretty cool but I'm a big boy, I need my AC!

 

Time Warner 50 mbps Internet @ $70/month. They say when we eventually get 100 mbps here we will get it for the same price.
Netflix, Amazon Prime

Can't justify actual cable TV. Never watched it when I had it.

 

I had Dish for 17+ years, not bad but it got expensive. I got U-verse on June 27th. As of last Saturday 8/29, I've had... count them.... 8 visits by techs to fix the damn service. This doesn't include the many, many calls to their technical support. FWIW, It's great when it works but breaks up really bad when there's a thunderstorm within about 20 miles. I swear the techs that visit don't want to fix it because AT&T is selling off the CT business to Frontier. What's funny is that I actually have an AT&T customer service rep who's handling the case calling me to see how the repairs are going - he doesn't understand how the techs refuse to replace wiring with shielded cables.

 

I pay $55 for a 25/5 plan, although I seem to get 30/10 according to speedtest.net. Cox said I should be getting 50/10 soon for the same price I pay now, although I'll probably have to buy a DOCSIS 3.0 modem to get those speeds. They also knocked $5 off a month just for asking why the price went up.

 

Just reserved my rental car for our Seattle trip at the end of the month. We're renting a Mustang and driving the Cascade Loop.

 

Have fun man, that is a great drive....watch out for Bigfoot and Hipsters trying to cross the road


We will be heading out for two weeks to Rocky Mountain NP and Custer State Park for some quiet outdoor camping and some great trout fishing
