My tale of woe is that just after dropping $2500 on a replacement for my deceased Mercury, my wife informs me that the driver's seat in the van is broken. AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!

Yes. Can't wait for the swarms of ferocious mosquitos who know that life is short and waste no time in biting you.
Not like the languid mosquitos I encountered during my Army days at Ft Stewart, GA. "Hey, y'all, ah'm gunna baht y.." (SMACK!)

The joke in Rochester NY was "Summer's great if it falls on a weekend".
You have not witnessed mosquitoes until you have been to southern Alaska or come down to the Bayou here in Louisiana.

I like to say, "My favorite DAY of the year is coming, Summer".
Just got most of the snow and a bunch of ice melted off the driveway, just in time for todays snow storm. At least that expensive snowblower is getting some use instead of just sitting and taking up room in the garage being useless.

The Sierra Nevada is seems to be Mosquito central during the summer. Was at a small lake by the name of Swamp Lake some years ago and my arms were black with large hungry ba*tards.

Where I live in southern California certainly has its downsides but one good thing is that if you get stuck outside at least the weather isn't potentially lethal. At least with verry rare exception. Just curious what BPRC stands for. Probably something obvious but I'm just not gettin it.

My poor third daughter got a small taste of winter after growing up in south Louisiana. She's with her Coast Guard hubbie in Eureka Cal. and I got a call Tuesday AM that she could only open one door on her car and she couldn't get the ice off her windshield. I asked what happened to the ice scraper I sent her off with. Of course, she didn't know. I asked if she tried a credit card and she told me she broke two already. I asked if she started the engine to heat the car and she said the heater didn't work. Fortunately, hubbie came from base so she could get to work.

That's a shame. It's never easy to know that you knew someone who dies so tragically.Just found out from seeing his picture on the news that I know one of the people that died in the Yorba Linda plane crash.

Be careful. When I was a kid my mother lost a needle in the rug. I found it about a month later in my foot. Went in deep and took a minor surgury to extract it.
Good luck.

At the old house, with carpet, small washers,parts, etc would completely disappear. When I pulled the carpet out, I found all of the non-magnetic stuff. Here at the new house, with tile floors, small stuff still disappears when dropped. I use a system developed when I serviced office equipment. When dropped, the part goes to the farthest, most difficult place unless it hits your foot. Then look for it in the most opposite direction from where you think it went. The kinetic energy of a small part dropped from about three feet is astounding. It will travel twelve feet or more. It could become a new power source if I could harness it. A hint, if you have alternate black and white tiles, the silver screws and washers always stop on white and black parts always are found on black tiles.
