Hidey-ho! There are snowflakes in the air, just what we need. NOT. I believe it will be short-lived, though. Meanwhile, after last night, I am officially a cord-cutter. So far, so good.

Have a great day, Gurus!

Not sure where everyone is, I'm up later than usua. Rosie got up normal time and went to work, I stayed in bed for another hour. We have 2 GDs with us this week and they are still asleep. I'm still laying low recovering from my hernia surgery, but have been doing a little more as each day goes by.

Today, I'll work in the shop a bit. I bought a 'new' control box for the CNC. It is supposed to make it faster and more accurate. It came in last week while we were gone, Yesterday I unpacked it and put together, today I'll try to get it hooked up correctly and see if I can get it to run.

I need to finish up a laptop computer that crashed during a Win10 update.....as much as I like Win10, it sure has issues with some computers, or Microsoft doesn't test it very good. It bricked this laptop and I've had a heck of a time bringing it back without losing the data. I finally got it going, but with Win7...don't think we are going back to Win10. Spent all day and part of the night yesterday trying to get it to install...finally gave up and reverted back to 7.

Supposed to be less windy today and warmer. The rain they promised turned out to be a Western Kansas 10" rain....a drop here and 10" away over another drop. Drought here is getting real serious.

Well, I hope that everyone here has a great day.

What exactly does that mean, Brad? Are you retiring?

No sh!t Tommy. I was thinking since his BD yesterday he was going to cut his ties with his job.

I can't do the cutting of the cable/telephone thing. I get my internet from them, with no other 'real' option where we live out here in the boonies.

When I say we live in the middle of no-where, it is confirmed by the Washington Post.. Our little town was in the top ten places farthest from a metro area. I believe we were #5. I'll try to find the link and post it.

The only thing we can do is put tighter restrictions on bomb makers. Mandatory background checks, restrict the sale of pipes known to be used by bomb makers. Place restrictions and signs indicating a no bomb zone. That should get a handle on it.

Good Afternoon CGs!

I had to get an RCA cable splice from my buddy and now the stereo is officially hooked up. That means I was able to push the pieces together and get everything lined up. Looks really nice, like it belongs there.

First day of spring, did anyone notice? Sure doesn't feel like it here. Still cold.

VB - I swapped out a radio in a C5 of that vintage and didn't need any reprogramming. I think it's only if the theft deterrent is activated. Here is a reset procedure:

Hope everyone has a great day!

Snazzy entertainment unit!
I went looking for the stereo photo - I didnt' see it. Saw a hot blonde in a blue dress. (let me move out of the door so the stampede can go look too)
I did copy down the notes I saw and when I send the club the email I will forward those along too. Thank you for posting it.
We too have cold, clammy, rainy ugly weather. Just measured a trailer in that mess an I can't feel my fingers. What happened to 70 and sunny from yesterday? I sunbathed and have tanlines for jeebus sakes! now I'm in a coat! Growl...
"media-driven-unibomber" - couldn't have said that better myself. If the media would STFU this might slow down a bit ya'll think?
and no, being retired don't stop nothing. My friend at the body shop 'retired' over a year ago and I swear I've done more, gotten dirtier and worked harder than I had the past 4 years. All the cars are gone now, so cleaning two bays at the shop and the front office, and I'll start reporting to work at their house helping them box things up around there and fix stuff getting it ready to sell , helping her clean out closets, etc. They leave in June.

Yeah Brad......it went fine for me the first couple of nights.....then I started to have a nervous tick ....... then the palms got sweaty....... I tried to laugh it off.........got through the night and most the next day with only a few minutes in the fetal position in front of the TV...... 4th day I'm pacing up and back up and back.....sweating profusely ........ laughing somewhat hysterically as folks gather for the intervention....... 5th day having trouble concentrating and keeping food down......... 6th day I am sneaking my wife's phone out of her purse and dialing 1-800-Directv............................ 7th day all back to normal damn the expense........ Hope you do better.........

Well, I worked on the control box for a while, but had a question on a couple things and posted on a forum for some help. While I was waiting on some answers, I went out to the new truck and cleaned off the bugs and stuff and put a coat of Rejex on it.
