I had a tux on 2 days for the hospital visit................I wonder if they are replated?

Porsche-poor 12-18-2024 06:23 AM

Morning all. Results are in. Now we wait to have a doc explain it in English. LOL

GH85Carrera 12-18-2024 06:32 AM

Yea, at least they have results!

Hopefully good news.

Porsche-poor 12-18-2024 06:33 AM

No. Santa left more than just coal in my stocking this year.

Porsche-poor 12-19-2024 07:08 AM

Morning all. So all the tests are in and I have an appointment with onocolgy on 1/6. Looks like its cancer. Road rage is nothing compared to this. Right now I'm on a hair trigger.

GH85Carrera 12-19-2024 07:31 AM

Sorry for that diagnosis. One of my good friends is going through chemotherapy now for his cancer. Hopefully they caught it early.

Good luck! That is a pretty crappy Christmas present.

Porsche-poor 12-19-2024 07:53 AM

I plan to see how hard it is the the the sleigh off the roof a few deer short of a full team...................

Well that sucks.

Porsche-poor 12-19-2024 09:13 PM

Yes. Yes it does. So far the family has been a great help to the wife as I am not up to doing much. The parts for the 911 that Santa will bring might just have to wait.

GH85Carrera 12-20-2024 06:11 AM

Try to get into the Christmas spirit. The grand kids will want a happy granddad. No doubt it is hard to do. A positive attitude will help bring your spirits up.

And just think positive. I know it helps the body.

Porsche-poor 12-20-2024 06:21 AM

Morning. That is the plan. Hope to see the little guy this weekend. Most things are covered as far as food and errands for the next few days. Still able to keep the pain down with tylenol so at least I can drive places.

GH85Carrera 12-20-2024 07:38 AM

Good plan!

Winter is almost here, and today we have a COLD day. It is still below freezing and the sun has been up for a while. I am waiting on my wife to get done with PT. Playing UBER driver still.

I drove her Macan as the heater is amazing. The El Camino that a while to warm up.

The 911 has a great heater, but the oil temp would never get off of the peg in that short drive. I don't like to drive it on really short trips as water condensates in the oil and if the engine does not get warm, the water accumulates.

Porsche-poor 12-21-2024 06:42 AM

Morning all. Only getting a few hours of sleep per night. Can't wait to get this fixed and go back to sleeping like a log.

GH85Carrera 12-21-2024 09:42 AM

That sucks, not sleeping.

We had a Porsche club breakfast this morning. I was glad the 911 has an amazing heater. It was 24 degrees out there. It is warming up to 46 now. For some reason there was not much standing in the parking lot admiring each other cars this time. My engine oil temp just barley got above 140 degrees in the 15 minute drive.

GH85Carrera 12-21-2024 01:43 PM

I noticed a small alert on my printer driver. It said I needed to update the firmware on my printer. So clicked the update link, and it asked for the password. WTF, I don't use a password on my printer. Then I noticed they had instructions of finding the default password of the printer. It is "conveniently" near the very bottom of the printer, on the back side.

So I had to pull the printer forward from it's normal spot, and use a flashlight to illuminate the area and contort around to get my phone in position with the front camera, and mange to touch the exposure button. It was a little out of focus, but legible. I entered it, and it managed to download and install the new firmware. That is a first for me, to update printer firmware on my home printer.

astrochex 12-21-2024 02:32 PM

David, sorry to hear the news. I hope you find relief from the pain and have an enjoyable Christmas season.

Porsche-poor 12-22-2024 06:54 AM

Morning all. GK came over yesterday. Boy I had no idea what I was in for. I should have taken an extra long nap. He is 4 and I don't think Christmas can get here soon enough.

GH85Carrera 12-22-2024 07:16 AM

Perfect age for Santa to bring presents. I can remember back in the days of Santa coming to our house. When we lived in Hawaii when I was 5 I was worried that Santa did not have a Chimney to come down. Somehow he came in and left us presents.

Porsche-poor 12-22-2024 07:20 AM

The little guy thinks he is on the naughty list. Grandma told him that he was not so there.

GH85Carrera 12-22-2024 07:37 AM

And grandma knows best!

I bet he gets a few toys from Santa.

We "got" to go to the grocery store. Whoopeeee. We are going to my MIL's house for Christmas and Mrs. Carrera was told to bring a chocolate dessert. And we had not been to the grocery store in a while, so it was time. That chore is over.

I will likely drive the 911 to my MILs house, just to get the engine up to full operating temp so I can check the oil level. After over 1,000 miles I suspect it needs a quart. There is no way to get it to 180 degrees this time of year, but at least it will be warm enough to open the thermostat to the front cooler to get a fairly accurate oil level reading.

Porsche-poor 12-22-2024 07:43 AM

Sounds like fun. I need to get mine back together and find a few dry days.

Porsche-poor 12-23-2024 07:08 AM

Morning all. Interesting night. Got up at 2:30am to find the power was out, reported it and went back to bed. Woke up for good at 6:45 to find someones door-dash on the front porch. Its been there since 12:30 am.....trash.

GH85Carrera 12-23-2024 08:04 AM

Power outages suck. We all forget how much a part of our lives are dependent on electricity. I hear people wanting to back to the 1800s. Not me. I like modern comfort.

Porsche-poor 12-23-2024 08:08 AM

Me to. At least this one was in the middle of the night.

GH85Carrera 12-24-2024 06:13 AM

I was just looking through my spam box making sure no legit email was in there.

I guess our little aerial company has good credit. Several different offers to lend us 500K. Where were they when we were trying to buy our airplane? It was "only" 240K, and finding a bank to finance was tough even after we had put down a large down payment in escrow to buy it.

Porsche-poor 12-24-2024 07:10 AM

Morning all. Its Christmas Eve! Time to be festive and jolly I guess. I wonder if the neighbors will call the cops?

Porsche-poor 12-25-2024 07:22 AM

Merry Christmas everyone. The Fat man did not land on the roof. Seems he got word I was looking to fill the freezer this year.

GH85Carrera 12-25-2024 07:51 AM

I bet he brought presents to the grandkids.

Merry Christmas all.

Porsche-poor 12-25-2024 08:03 AM

Yep he did! I think he was teamed up with the wife since I didn't get a deer.

Porsche-poor 12-26-2024 07:34 AM

Morning all. Power might be out soon. The winds have kicked up a bit here.

GH85Carrera 12-26-2024 08:40 AM

Another very damp day here. 98% humidity, and list mist.

The 911 did fine yesterday, and I am very near turning 198,000 miles. Almost broken in!

It will get washed this weekend when it is supposed to be in the 60s.

Porsche-poor 12-26-2024 09:07 AM

Pacing myself. Today recycle run, tomorrow oil change on the CRV. Saturday I plan to attempt the replacement of the oil level sensor on the 911.

GH85Carrera 12-26-2024 10:43 AM

The oil level sensor is not a bad job, just dirty.

Be sure you have the new cork gasket that goes under the sensor. Mine was leaking, and needed a slight adjustment to reflect a bit better the real level.

The tech section has many instructions posts.

Porsche-poor 12-27-2024 07:59 AM

Morning all. The level senser came with one and I ordered another not knowing. So I have 2.

Save it for the gas tank level sender. If you ever need to open the gas tank up, you will be in stock!

Another busy morning of playing Uber driver. I dropper her off at 9:00, went back to pick her up at 10:00 and took her with me to my doctor appointment. Then to lunch and home.

Porsche-poor 12-28-2024 07:24 AM

Morning all. Good idea Glen. It's probably no worth the trouble to ship it back.

GH85Carrera 12-28-2024 08:25 AM

Yea, the postage would be as much as the part. I have one in stock. I have several parts in stock just in case.

We actually slept in today. No events to attend, and no reason to get up early. The dogs were not real happy as they were about to die of hunger, or at least they thought so. After I was dressed I did feed them breakfast. They start hanging out in the hall watching for me to go into the laundry room where we keep the dog food at 4:30 for the dinner meal. They never miss a meal.

Porsche-poor 12-28-2024 08:31 AM

Our Boston is getting old. The only thing she get excited about is a walk.

astrochex 12-28-2024 03:26 PM

Day 4 of a cold. Now the wife says she feels a little run down. :(

So you shared with your wife. Get better soon.
