    Said good-bye to an old friend

    Our 19 year old beagle was put down yesterday. She was almost as old as our youngest daughter. About a week ago, without any other symptoms, she just stopped eating and pretty much drinking too. Her usual forte was to gobble down her prepared breakfast and to drink ..I'd seriously say about a...

    Newest grandchild

    This is my oldest daughter Kim's newborn. Her name is Summer. She appears to not be of the Kendig (wife's maiden name) Allan clan persuasion. She has hair at birth. Time will tell, I guess.

    Mitch Miller RIP - 99 years old.

    Goodbye Mitch This should take a few of you back. Back in the era where Friday night entertainment was so family oriented that an animated series, The Flintstones, had (probably) the highest market share. It felt more wholesome, anyway. Mitch's signature conducting animations are firmly...

    What is this "you've won" scam

    I get a call about 3 days ago. It correctly identified my DOB and under a username that was a sub account on AOL YEARS AGO. My daughter must have entered me in some contest. Remember this was YEARS ago. The guy on the end in IL handled all the bases. This wasn't a "you qualify to win" ..nope...

    Useful link

    Here's a good place to run oddball filter numbers by. It doesn't always work and you may need to tweak your numbers. After a while you'll get the idea. It's invaluable when you find cheaper salvage mounts on ebay and want to figure out what your replacement costs are going to be...

    link to bookmark

    Here's a site that I used extensively in the past. They locked up the site for a while for some reason, but it's back. I used it for obscure numbers and oddball stuff I would find salvage on Ebay and whatnot. It doesn't always work and at times you need to tweak your numbers to get it to work...

    Contemporary narcotic restrictions

    I have a herniated disc and have been a prisoner of a recliner for the past 3 weeks. I just got a steroid shot in my back which has worked to some extent, but I'm pushing for the more permanent surgical remedy. I don't need a never ending story as I age that will ultimately result in the same...

    02 jeep 2.5 0w-10 Bruce Uber thin - 10k miles.

    The oil was in service a little over a year. The miles were just under 10k. Winter gave it a good workout with not so much short trips, but higher fuel usage without miles on the odometer. We had some decent blizzards this year. I have a sample at Blackstone, but the postal fairy may have tagged...

    What is it with Belkin wireless routers?

    We bought a Netgear N router for installing in churches when we're overnight monitoring the homeless shelter so we can work (the pastor and myself). He plugs it in and everything works fine. His Blackberry (I think) sees it ..my Toshiba ..his whatever ..his Netbook ...blah..blah..blah The wife...

    How many of you here use xtend'd coolants to limit

    If it's anything like your oil changing habits, I suspect very few. I won't use any Dexcool or any of the wizbang new stuff. It's way too complicated for a Gary life. I use PG blends since I like to not have to worry about some stray animal drinking the stuff and croaking. They may get sick...

    This call is being recorded - interesting

    I had cause to call Chase today. When the customer service rep told me that the call was being recorded I (jokingly - but not in tone) said that I was recording the conversation too. She immediately said that she had to terminate the call and sent me to a voice mail for her supervisor. I found...

    PCM pondering

    I've recently had a number of anomalies occur in my 02 Wrangler. One night in the single digit temps I started the jeep and I found my odometer reading being displayed. I always leave it on the trip odometer. Flipping to it, it was found to be @ 0.0. The radio, while retaining its presets...

    For those interested

    I got curious about this 3-Rx $28,800 figure that was batted back and forth. I asked ..and even Frank didn't see what was the problem. Rex 3 quote was $28,800.00 per 6/color Komori. 3-Rx is the only chemistry that can work with silicone. So 3-Rx saved Rex 3 $57,600.00. People were reading...

    At least they have sub-titles

    This has to be old news to some of you. I was flipping through the cable channels and hit upon a Japanese soap. I normally don't run a full inventory of ethnicity ..but the anger in the dialog ..at least from the males ..tended to sound like a bad case of constipation. Obviously the...
