What Annoyed You Today? (5 Viewers)

[Airframes]

Just found out the water pump (and drive belt) on the 'Tin Tent' needs replacing. Had a problem where the temp gauge dropped to zero, although the engine ran perfectly and didn't overheat, even though the cooling system is almost empty of water !
Seems the belt has disappeared, and the pump is about knackered
The van was due for some minor cosmetic work and other little jobs this week, so I just hope my tame 'spanner monkeys' can get it all done, including the water pump, in time for Flying Legends next week.

On a brighter note, I've got some new 'wheels' ............ see 'What cheered you up' thread.

Today my boss asked, expectantly, if I was going to work Friday and Saturday even though the shop is closed for the holiday. And I'd already submitted my PTO request.

Wait a minute. I didn't think you'd catch me that soon.

Just throw your diaper at them.

7.1 earthquake about 20 minutes ago. The epicenter was about 80 miles away but our house was still making popping/ cracking sounds and our trees were swaying back and forth quite a bit.

My laptop of 11 years may have given up the ghost. All I'm getting right now is a black screen when I open the lid. Its given stellar performance, being on for many hours a day when I'm on my seven days off. The annoying part? While I have backed up probably 99%, I put off backing up a few things yesterday. Nothing vitally important, but still.........

First try to start in safe mode. Depending make and model usually F5 or F8.
Remove hard drive en connect to a pc. If the disk is not dead you have a chance to resque the remainder. Also try removing the ram memory and restart.

Thank you for the advice but unfortunately the F5/8 method didn't work. Off to the shop it goes

And of course the weekend we move away from the Gulf Coast, she decides to give us a big F-You...

Good news is my car is back together after working on it for 2.5 days, bad news is my back has been out since then. Can feel a big knot above both glutes on one of my right shoulder that have just started to subside enough that I can sit vertical long enough to go to work.

Isn't it fun getting old?

Tell me about it! Halfway through a brake job on a borrowed F350, I pulled a groin muscle, and now sit with ice packs and acetaminophen, while the truck sits on jackstands, my sailboat sits unlaunched in my driveway, and the owner is clamoring for her truck back.
Cheers??

What do you mean "gettting old", I'm officially there!!!! The worst part is I've been dealing with at least the shoulder issues since I wasn't that old.

The definition of "officially there" is that's the point where you start getting old faster and faster. What really matters, however, is not the model year on the data plate, but the mileage on the odometer. (And the service records)
Cheers,
