Had some silver dollar pancakes for breakfast.

Looks like it needs 3x more butter and about 6 silces of bacon for me.

[Jim Richards]

Mmmm, pancakes with butter. Richard is spot on, too.

[pete3799]

And real maple syrup.

[GH85Carrera]

It comes with two eggs and sausage. Just a silly amount of food. I did not even eat 1/2 of those pancakes and I was stuffed.

morning allll

[azzarule]

well after making noises for a while, although she hasn't been driven often for a while, the Clutch Throw Out bearing **** itself yesterday morning on Marilyn, so now I have to get it done. I had been putting it off, and not driving her, as I am saving for a holiday, and I didn't want to start the dreaded "while we are in there" saga.

[azzarule]

I priced a clutch kit a few weeks ago on our host, and the freight to Oz was aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[Jim Richards]

Sorry to hear that Marilyn needs a TO bearing, Azzy. That project just screams "while you're in there." I'd take the holiday first, then save for the clutch kit.

I spent the afternoon cleaning and reorganizing the garage. I still need another round of decluttering in there before I start thinking about putting in cabinets and organizers. I also need new lighting and more electrical outlets. Maybe this summer I'll demo and renovate. Retirement is turning out to be a full time job.

G'day azzy ... and everyone else

Playing electrician again



One down, one to go

[Jim Richards]

Nice job, sparky. I used to be an electrician before getting my engineering degree. My wife knows that, and she has a few electrical projects she wants me to do in the house. They usually involve climbing around the attic. Oh well.

I did this about five years ago when the dollar was much better. Even with freight, I saved about $300.

Cheers Jim. Sharyn's right now making other lighting suggestions about the house. Think I'll have some lunch and go play golf.

I hate climbing around in the attic, it seems that whenever we need something done up there it is in the hottest part of summer and it is stinking up there, that said, I have probably put the mocca on myself and I expect something to go up there any day!!!

[azzarule]

Might have to wait until we come over to USA in July to pick up the clutch kit!! The return airfare was only 999 AUD!!

Then it will be mostly duty free too

[RKDinOKC]

That's the only good thing about my foot ordeal...Along with the ability to heal and toe I lost being able to climb around on the rafters in the attic. There is a lot of it covered in plywood but the last time I ventured onto the rafters I fell thru. Good thing it was into the heater closet in my garage so it really didn't hurt anything except for my pride.

If your thing electrical stuff is bad, try to find someone to run computer network wires. Nobody does residential. Had a local computer place come out and charge me $350 just to tell me it's a problem with the wire and it needed new wire pulled, and that was what I told them on the phone. I call the guy that came out a lot off names all the way out to his car and until he couldn't hear me driving off. Tried my best to get my monies worth in verbal abuse. At least when I called Geek Squad they were honest and told me they don't do home network wiring. They guy that finally came out said it took longer to get to my house than to do the job and he only used a couple of dollars worth of wire AND it was super easy because he just used the existing bad wire to pull thru new wire, cost was $170.

HATE THAT I CAN'T GET UP THERE AND PULL MY OWN WIRES ANY MORE!!!!

If I 1GB wired wireless AC router at each end of my house the wireless bandwidth is 300 Mbits for the whole house. With just the router in the center of the house all but the center room only get about 20 Mbits. Right now with a wireless router (as extenders) at each end I get about 200 Mbits to my servers.

I cabled the whole house before the sheeting went up, two to three outlets in every room, terminates in a rack in the Harry Potter cupboard,, but since we have sifi routers now, no one uses the terminals in their room. All that effort for nothing, but never know, maybe the airwaves will get that conjested one day that they willl resort to the cable!
