What Cheered You Up Today?

[Torch]

It's been a busy week. My MIL passed away Tuesday, my wife had knee surgery on Thursday, our granddaughter was born Thursday, and we laid MiL to rest today.
Now I'm just trying to put the house back in order, while my Beautiful Wife lays on the couch barking orders, umm, shouting encouragement. She can't put any weight on her leg for at least a month, so I've had to rearrange the furniture to make it easier for her to get around. It's going to be an interesting month or so.

You think she paid the doc to say a month?

After a pretty uneventful summer I am finally going to take a few days off and head to northern Minnesota for some much needed R&R. 5 days away from rush hour traffic, no TV, no radio, no people other than the ones I invite over (those that aren't invited are probably up to no good in that neck of the woods).

I haven't been able to do that since I was single. Even less now. That will be fun!! Enjoy!!

Three of the kids are doing really well in school. This makes me happy considering the stress they are under. As usual all of the kids at school asked where I was as they usually do.

With Jesse. Was home sick on tuesday and wednesday. Wife was busy in the house, kids were at school. It was the first time I had 5 hours of peace and quiet in 9 years!

A/C fixed only $884. Motor only was needed, circuit board was still good.

only $884

You must be driving a Bentley. Or an Alfa 75.

The house A/C has a blower motor in the attic and the motor has electronic control on the end. We had a storm where the power flashed on/off three times rapidly which must have damaged the on board suppressor as it quit the next day. The motor its self is OK. The tech says they used to have the electronics end sealed in wax which could be scraped off and the suppressor component replaced. The motor manufacturer put a stop to that. I have the motor and plan to do some of that electronic tech sh*t to see if the suppressor can be replaced. It appears now to be sealed in rubber.

Was at the park near work during my lunch hour today, when the Minnesota CAF's B-25 Miss Mitchell flew over my head, made a u-turn and flew right over me again.

Without bombing...

Me thinks it would be a mistake to make a 2nd bombing run from the opposite direction from which you made your initial run, but, hey that's just me Sure looked nice against a clear blue sky (a rarity in Minnesota).

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Lucky you.

Yeah. It was nice not to have all that Canadian smoke for a change.

 

[MiTasol]

I don't know. The poor bl**dy Canadians just cant win at present.

If they don't share something they are in trouble and if they do share something they are in trouble.

Give them a break or they may get grumpy when playing you southerners at ice hockey

Good news is I saved $500-$600 installing new brakes and rotors on all 4 corners of my truck. The bad news is every muscle from my neck down has been aching ever since. Doctor/Chiropractor bill will probably eat up my savings

Years (decades) back, my buddy threw his back out leaning over from his desk to pick up a pen he dropped. He could not straighten up so he used a free coupon from the newspaper for one visit to a new chiropracter. The treatment worked and cost nothing. Merely another example of his being cheap, a long running jab at him.
