You died in 1995?
 
Every now and then, he liked to chew on barbed wire wrapped like a cigar. He had more Valor awards and "V's" than I have shirt buttons. Just lookit that pic and see that under the hard crust was a heart of adamantine. <-- Look it up. ;)
 
Actually, it was "The Crotch". <-- I oughta know: I'm named after Lt. Gen. Ed W. Snedeker of the US Mahreen Coah. As I've said before, NFW would I try to follow that act!

We useta call Unca Sam's Misguided Children, "Gomers". Gawd help the Mahreen that came outa MCRD in San Diego -- they were always "Hollywood Marines". I also remember new Mahreens being called Q-tips because their white skin had not yet tanned (high and tight).

Well, ya got me goin'... another ding in a jarhead's helmet: "Pogey bait".

"Pogey" comes from Chinese... Prostitute. Pogey bait was Mahreen trading stuff (candy). Dunno what it is today...

And thank dog for spell checks brother Walt! Do I infer you were an elite %$#@! island marine"

Interestingly the LA Cajuns refer to Pogey bait as bait for the small fish they use to bait their hooks. IE: Cut into Pogey bait meant cut into very small bits for chumming.
 
Afternoon OFC. My fargin refrigerator compressor went out last night. 3 years old and this will be the third time it has to be worked on. Only problem....will be a week from today until the repairman can schedule in. Gonna be heil going a week with out a frig in the summer.

Son in Law brought a couple of really good coolers and along with the 2 I already have should get us by. Will be buying ice every day though. Nothing is built to last anymore. What a country. Do we even have one anymore.

Gotta go and cut the grass now. Wife will handle the repacking the coolers.

How long before beer thirty gets here.......I need one.
 
How about packing some dry ice in it?

I feel your pain. Old Hen came upstairs yesterday with a, "Honeyyyy, the washer doesn't work." Six bills later and I'm picking a new one up tomorrow. Didn't feel like doing it during a monsoon. Joy of joys, I get to drag the dead one up the stairs and get the new one down and hooked up.

Was gonna do dry ice in coolers. But....just got done cutting the front lawn and came in for a glass of ice water and the compressor started up again. Still buzzing but at least working for now. Don't know how long I can keep it running but I have everything (except ice) to get me by. I will get through this......just another pebble in the highway of life.

Sounds like your capacitor or start relay is bad…
Don’t cancel your appointment.
When the capacitor gets weak, you never know if that compressor will start or not.

Not about to drop the appointment. Had this happen with the dishwasher. Door wouldn't lock. Made an appointment, started locking, dropped the appointment and quit working. Cost me an extra week for dropping the appointment.

Another water break. To fricken hot for this old man. Neighbors all have their son's cut the grass....I had a daughter. Guess she could teach me cheer-leading......

Should check in and see what is happening in the world.....I know it is bad so I will leave it at that. Been so long since I have heard good news.....forgot what it sounded like.
 
Our side by side fridge has been worked on one time and its over 20yrs old and still kicking..
Isn't that amazing. All my appliances, tv's and such used to last 20 years or more with no repairs needed. Most of the stuff was replaced because it just go old....shouldn't have done that....now I have to buy a warranty and the guy is here every other month for something.

Just had to replace a Samsung 42" tv.....4 years old....out of warranty. Now on my shit list of what not to buy. Kenmore is right there as well. ANYTHING FROM SEARS.....banned. Glad the fockers went broke....all stores closed here. I used to buy from sears all the time......Fk me once sham on you.....fk me twice shame on me.

My working day is over. Sure is a lot shorter with no trimming on the agenda. Jacuzzi, cold Modelo and bowl. Life it good ..... busy but good. As long as you can keep the outside world away.

This is what you get for getting into bed with a product that sympathizes with China.

They don’t make shit like they used to.

I have one customer with a 30+year old Coleman air conditioner.
I have maintained it for years, the homeowner asked about replacing it…
I told him to leave it till it dies. Those old units were built like tanks.
That was like 5 years ago,
Still running strong.
 
Just like cars, all the on board computers. Most don't know how to work everything. They are a huge distraction....much like texting and something is always going wrong.

I have a sensor on my low tire warning light going bad. It is in the tire I hope. I have checked the air pressure several times and there is no leak. Trip to the dealership because of technology. I would just leave it but the flashing light drives me crazy....especially at night.

You can look up your model sensor and buy a set on Amazon or ebay
Then you need to bring the car into a tire place , they remove the tire from rim install the new units and sync them to car (quick if you have the tool I do)
They just screw into the valve stem hole from inside the tire.
