Don't fret about it. I enjoy the challenge!

It's sorta like Word Search, only now you look for punctuation marks, or where there should be one.

Willie - Congratulations to you and Arlene.

 

[Patrick]

Willie: Congrats to you and Arlene. You have a little over 10 years on me and the Mrs.

I just caught up on his thread (Willies)and saw the damage!
Talk about by the skin of your teeth, seriously lucky to still be here to celebrate.
So glad you and your wife and close neighbours are alive sad for those not too far who were not so lucky also pleased the layout managed to squeak through mostly wow just Wow!

Hello everyone.

Time for my annual check in...

I thought it might help to show you guys the proper way to fix an HP printer.

That sledge is called "number 95" around here, because
95 percent of the time - it gets the job done!

Wasn't much of a fight after the first round...

Anyway, try and control your anger. Jeeez.

I have my "Technical Screening" with the big company in bout 2 hours. 45 minutes and "may involve coding". I can code of course but don't like to do it under a microscope. So we'll see. Good thing is most of these places know that.

I've been reviewing things and trying to get ready. Wish me well.

When I moved to west Texas, I brought a new HP copier/scanner with me. I needed it one day to copy some important papers I had and began installing the new ink cartridges. The new cartridges would not stay in no matter what I did. So I took a tool similar to your "number 95" and proceeded to drive in the cartridges. No way they were coming out after my install procedure. It did get a bit messy but there is really not that much ink in those "starter" cartridges.

I headed for Wichita Falls and purchased an Epson that lasted about 8 years. No issue with ink cartridges.

Willie, happy anniversary to you and Lady Arlene. May God grant you many more. We hit 41 back in June.

If at first you don’t succeed use a hammer kill or cure and to be fair he manages to sort it 9:10 which still amazes me every blxxdy time

Edit on the odd occasion he flex’s the metal hammer and swops it for the rubber one and there is a smaller plastic headed one he believes in the appropriate tool you understand

Willie: Congrats to you and Arlene on 53 years of marriage.

I celebrated 40 years of being divorced this year........for what thats worth. I'm an independent kinda person not to mention being just a bit hard to get along with.

Just another day in paradise here. Not in the best of moods and I'm tired, not a good combination when working on tedious projects. Maybe I'll feel better after a nap.

Trainz.com sent an e-mail yesterday listing some sale items. I resisted yesterday but had to take a second look today. Gave in and I purchased 3 items, all freight cars.......some Intermountain and Red Caboose, ready to run items. $45 for rolling stock around $15 for shipping, still not too bad.
I blew a "C" note on just two cars from Lombards last week and really did not need to spend more dough but $h*t happens. I noticed in just one day some of the items that originally caught my eye at Trainz were gone. Intermountain cars going for $12 to $17 each. Some Atlas "Gold Line" items for $11 to $17.

Everyone take care......John

Reminds me of the scene in the movie "Office Space".

Teriyaki pork and pineapple kabobs

Now I know what to make this weekend. THanks!

 

[Kusojiji]

I bought another Lionel Christmas Car

You have enough Christmas cars to start pulling this year and the end comes around by next year?

 

[Kusojiji]

Arlene and I celebrate our 53rd wedding anniversary

Wow! Congrats!

 

[Kusojiji]

Wait until the vines start to turn yellow

Cool. I'll let my wife know as well. She wants to start pulling them out soon. We yanked some of the smaller potted ones and they were fine, but the vines were not yet yellow. Sounds like they get treated like regular potatos.

 

[DeaconKC]

LadyC made a delicious dinner tonight. Grilled pork chops, green beans and salad. Yum!

Wow, now I have a good point of reference when he says that he hasn't touched a grouping in a long time.

If it doesn't fit, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
