No problem, it did get me to another one that was on the same list yours was. Seems to do well.

Good Friday morning all.

TGIF.

Tomorrow I think I will do an oil change on the 911 just because I am about to drive 5,000 or more miles next month. I can't really decide. I changed the oil that spring and I bet I have just 1,000 miles on the oil now. It is 10 quarts in the system. Decisions decisions.

I will for sure start the planning to packing process. Making the lists. It is a real challenge to get everything packed into a small car for two people for two weeks.

You could ship stuff to meet you at different places along the way as you needed it, and ship the stuff it was replacing back as you picked up the shipments.

Some friends took a couple of months touring Europe. They only took 1 change of clothes. Said it was really convenient being able to carry everything in one bag the size of a laptop bag. In fact, it was a laptop bag. Never left anything in a room, didn't have to worry about theft and could change plans easily. Bought sundaries as they needed whereever they were, and washed their clothes in the hotel sinks. Said they took silk clothes because it was easier to clean, dried faster, and didn't need to be ironed. Told me they had planned to buy more if needed, but never did. They may have been hippies at the time though.

That might work for some people. On week two we have plans to attend banquets and the dress code is business casual. I have to pack one pair of Docker slacks and a shirt with buttons for those evening. The Mrs has to have several outfits. We will likely find a laundromat and do a load of load of laundry.

Must be losing it and need to get a psychotic evaluation. Don't seem to want to watch the new Captain America vs Iron Man or the Superman vs Batman movies.

Glenn- I wouldn't bother with the oil change. Do it when you return from the trip. At least it will have been used.


I replaced the front sway bar end links again on my Suquinox today along with the rear shocks which were original. They had very little resistance left.

The front struts and mounts probably should be replaced again as well. The ones I installed at 67,000 miles now have another 60,000 on them.

The crappy roads here really beat the suspension bits to he!!.

6000 miles doesn't sound bad for an oil change, especially if most of it is highway cruisin miles.

Yea, I pretty much talked myself out of the oil change. It is a two year old clean engine and the oil is clean. It has not had high oil temps at all so it should be fine.

Good Friday all but Jim.

Richard, that software was not enterprise class so I didn't buy it.

Actually, thanks for getting me in the right area. Processed 50k files since coming to work today.

So far at least!

I have been working on the goofy city where I have to rotate their city a few degrees so the streets run straight up the print, and then Photoshop the river to be full. The brain teaser is getting the crop marks on the print for the mounting an laminating. It is a 68x98 overall print, cut into three panels so they don't need a large truck or trailer to haul it around. Left panel is 22 inches wide, the center panel is 48.5 inches wide and the right panel is 21.5 inches wide. They want the seam on the right side moved over 1/2 inch so it will cut the RR track in half and no buildings.

When shoved together it aligns up and looks like one print. And it has dry erase laminate so they can play with markers and wipe it off.

Yep. We first did this job for them in 2010. They had been using a different company that was rigid in doing thinks their own way. We are happy to do whatever the client wants, as long as they pay the bill and like what they ordered.

Happy Saturday again, guys.

One more day with our house guest, my wife's oldest sister. I'm looking forward to things getting back to normal.

JIm, I didn't think you have been there long enough to have normalcy.

Your email address was discovered from some scammers caught at the West Africa part of the World by the FBI, So due to this reason the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon and the President of the FBI James Comey after having a conference meeting about these, they decided to compensate the rightful owners of those emails with the sum of $ 3.5 million each which they believe have been scammed.....

All they need is my credit card number to pay the $395 for the delivery fee. Major party in OKC tonight. I am rich!.
