Glen, just think how much nap time the new client gets you when you are waiting for the processing to finish.

That is the problem The fast computer zips through the little files almost in an instant. Then I have to do the next step of making it into the files he wants. It is a lot of thinking and mouse work, only typing long and complex file names to match the clients specs. The good news is I will get a lot faster as I get used to making files with the ground elevation set to zero. :confused:

Why he wants the ground set at sea level when it is in Oklahoma I don't know. :confused:

He is high? Or maybe it makes him feel high.

Good Morning all.

We are over the hump and on the downhill slide towards a three day weekend!

So far, today is seeming like a regular boring day.

Was wondering about faxes.

I have a All in One printer that has fax capability which have have been using for the maybe once a year I send and receive a couple of faxes. After Mom passed I turned off my land line phone so it doesn't work any more.

Has anyone tried the online fax stuff and how is receiving faxes thru them?

Found an app called iFax that lets me send faxes from my Mac, iPhone, iPad, PC, and/or Android that only charges $0.99 a page. But to receive faxes you have to pay for a phone number, $12.99 per month.

Anybody do any faxing and don't have a fax?

Faxes are something I wish would just die and go away. I want the same thing for Flash but they will both live on forever.

We have an all in one faxer, scanner and copier here at work. It really needs a dedicated PC attached to it to be really functional. It is nice to just delete the junk faxes and never print them.

I have never used the fax services. A buck a page is expensive to send a fax.

The only things I've used fax for...car purchases and loans, cox business accounts.

One dollar is cheap if I don't have to pay for a phone line or go someplace like kinkos.

Haven't need to send or receive a fax in over a year.

Found an online fax provider, onlinefaxes.com that give a 30 day free trial with number. After that they only charge $3 per month with one year service. Sounds like they are only charging for the phone number.

Their 30 day free will work for me the few times I will need it. They claim it is setup and working in only a few minutes. Will have to bookmark them for when I need to fax.

I just went on-line to look at my credit card bill. It closes on the 28th so all of my trip is on there.

I guess the feds made CC companies put the information in there that if I only pay the minimum amount each month and never charge anything new on that card it would take 17 years to pay off. What moron would pay only the minimum for 17 years?

I think I will pay the entire bill as planned in one payment. I don't like paying interest.

When I was house hunting my goal was to find a house in which the payment for 80% would not be over 1/5th of our household income. At the time that limited our house hunting to 150K max. There were a LOT more houses on the market for more money. Our household income was above average for this area so I asked my relator how people could afford those expensive homes. She said it was simple their payments for their house, car, and credit cards was more than their household income and they were going deeper in debt every month.

Yea, I know some people that are leveraged to the max and still trying to impress the neighbors with their lifestyle. One couple had a water heater start leaking. The cost of getting up to code and installing the new water heater was too much and they ended up defaulting on their two car loans and almost lost their house. They had to sell the boat and jet ski and motorcycles for just what the loan values were.

I could never live like that.

I do vividly remember wondering how I could pay the electric bill. Using credit was not an option. I just worked more to earn more and reduced spending by eating cheaper food I cooked at home.

Really learned to manage no money when in college. Went from owning outright an Audi 4dr sedan, a Plymouth hot rod, and a Ford van to a cheap 10 speed bike. The 10 speed wasn't even the really nice one I started college with. Sold it and got a much cheaper on from the classifieds. Did the same thing with my TV. Sold my good one and got a big color TV that the sound didn't work and a small B/W portable that only the sound worked. The were both really cheap. Got the B/W tv for the sound because it was cheaper than the tubes to fix the sound on the color one.

Cheated a little to make ends meet. Found it took the local grocery store 3 days for a personal check to make it to the bank. A few times I cashed a check at the grocery store to cover a check I had cashed at the grocery store to pay my bills.

Food was never a problem since I worked at a restaurant.

After college borrowed money a for a car, not because I needed the money but to establish credit for a house.

Only got into money trouble once. It was when I got changed from bi-weekly to monthly on my paychecks. Kinda caught me by surprise. Had to go almost a week really scrimping to eat. Did have a full tank of gas though.

Saw a total of 4 moose tonight on the way back from the ice cream stand.
A cow and 2 calves at the edge of a pond and about 5 miles down the road we came around a corner and there was another standing in the road. Glad it was still daylight or we might have wrecked another car.
This is the road ( black top) you were on before we turned onto the dirt road to our house Glen.

Hey fellas!

I wonder the same thing when I see huge houses, new cars, boats, etc. I want to stop and ask the people what they do to afford all that stuff.


My daughter started her new gymnastics session 2 weeks ago. Tonight the coach approached me about her joining the competition team. Apparently, they are duly impressed with her jumping around.

Then I looked at the price! Holy crap, they had better feed them steak and lobster when on the road for a meet. :eek:

Wow. No moose around these parts. Glad I did not see any moose on the roads up in Yankee land. We saw many moose crossing signs.

Will you be able to fix the fender or is it replacement only?

No mooses (or is it meese?) around here.

One thing I did see up in the land of Yankees was a lot of small critters on the road. A few mice, rats or ground squirrels or other assorted furry rodents. Nothing I was worried about hurting my car. Not one armadillo and just a couple of skunks.

If you ever have any doubt about how much expendable income people have, go to the races and see the haulers, or the lake marina and check out the boats/rigs, or maybe a horse show, and ask prices for tack, and broke-youth riding horses.

We have horses and plenty of cars in the driveway, but we are very budget conscious, and do most of the work ourselves, and search for deals on used equipment.

Good Morning.

IT'S FRIDAY!!!

The 928 front grill is low along the bottom. Them 928 Yankee guys talk about it being like a dust buster collecting that stuff up off the roads. They say some even make it thru the intake tubes to the air filter housing where they sit atop the air filter and are dried into a jerky of a sort. Well...with hair.

I've never had my 928's collect anything like that.
