    Power is out

    You're 100% right. I lived in a area that was served by the TVA for awhile on a job assignment, that was the best I'd ever had, power was cheap to boot.

    Power is out

    I remember times here having to drain the water in the lines in the house and using a kerosene heater in the house for days to weeks. Back in ~2009 I think it was I didn't have power for three weeks, then in 2012 it was two weeks, etc... Third world power grid here, Highest power rates in the...

    Power is out

    Power here is a crapshoot. I don't bother with the generator unless its been out for at least 3-4 hours. The voltage profile, harmonic distortion are all excellent, the problem they have is just keeping it on. Trees cause some of it, I basically live in a mountain forest. The biggest issue...

    Been pretty clear in E. Ky. Only thing going on here at the moment is the typical summer thunder and the swamp like humidity.

    Didn't GM refuse to allow base oil changes without re-testing ? Or am I just imagining that ?

    Walmart oil prices - Ah!

    I imagine, at least in the short term (hopefully), they'll be quite a few more cars that skip an oil change or two for the general public. Most people that I talk to seem to be stretched thin as it is. Something in their mind that can be "skipped" or prolonged (Whether true or not) is an...

    Another Postage Stamp Increase

    I've had good luck with the USPS around here anyway, they're typically more reliable than UPS, about on par with FedEX.

    Plans for when You get Old

    I'm not sure to be honest. None of the men on my fathers side have ever made it past 67, and that record was set by my grandfather.

    Back Surgery

    I'm still waiting on Insurance to approve another MRI at this point. When I lost my job the new insurance I picked up wanted me to complete physical therapy before they would approve another MRI. Which has been a battle. I've had to miss the last 1.5 weeks of physical therapy because of vertigo...

    Just lost my dad.

    I'm truly sorry for your loss. Its one of those defining times in life. My dad suffered with Parkinson for years in and out of the hospital, its also how I hurt my back trying to take care of him. You're absolutely normal, your life is gonna be like a roller coaster for awhile, do the best you...

    What are you doing right now?

    Got an answer from the Dr today, on the Vertigo. Said its BPPV, I most likely got it from me continually falling from the issues with my back. Showed me some maneuvers to do to hopefully get it worked out... I go in a few days to hopefully get a dental bridge (Maryland style) for my front teeth...

    What are you doing right now?

    Appreciate it! I'm really hoping to get lined out and then get back to work...I'll be honest, this sitting around home is really getting to me.

    What are you doing right now?

    Laying in Bed at the moment, got a case of vertigo. Probably heading to the dr office in the morning to hopefully get some relief. Between the back (hip) and this its been tough.
