Stijn!!

I have been in the garage tinkering. The football game is on the beer in the fridge is cold. I decided to see if I can get my leaf blower working. The 14 year old fuel lines had turned to stone. To get to the tank I have to completely take the thing apart. I got the new lines in and it will start but it does not run for long. It sounds just like my mower did. A new spark plug fixed the mower so I will try a plug on the blower.

Evening guys. Well I have an interesting and oh so boring evening planned. We went electronic for the state inspection process friday afternoon and the boss says, "Hey I have a computer at the house we are going to use" I swing by to get it to make sure all is up to speed for the am and oh joy of joys, it is a netbook ( I think my phone is bigger) it is running XP that is 103 updates behind. He is so going to get charged for this one

I might be able to help. I might be able to scare up an older pc. It would be a lot better that that netbook.

Yeah I have one sitting next to me that I was planning on using, if this thing (that I am loading serv pac 3 on) doesn't pan out I will just use that. Thanks for the offer though.

Tried all day yesterday to get in touch with his two sons. Neither would return calls. Know they got the calls by the number of rings before their machines picked up, sad.
Really sorry to hear about your brother, Richard.

My dad had triple bypass and he came out the other side better than he had been in decades. I wish the same for your brother
