Well…I did mention that I had a tree fall on my power line and ripped it off the side of the house starting a small fire and melting some of the vinyl siding…I was downstairs on the bike and it went black so I came running up the stairs to hear the loud crackling from the resulting electrical short…the power line was on the ground smoking so I called 911 and all kinds of police, fire, and Consumers energy trucks showed up…and of course it was a cold, raining Sunday when this happened so getting anyone to come out and fix it was going to wait at least a day…but all of the electrical folks who I called Monday said they were all busy and it would be two weeks before they could come out…but then I discovered an unlikely company..Service Professor…who came right out and started working on it but after he was done, consumers had to come back and do the last connection and there were trips to the city hall for permits and all kinds of other bullshit…cost 2,700 bucks that insurance covered 2,450 when I have a 1,000 dollar deductible…still can’t figure that out…oh, well

As you know, I bought a new Miata back on May 2nd and it hasn’t been as reliable as the old one…first the cd changer stopped working and couldn’t be fixed…then the driver’s side front brake caliper froze up and I had to replace it…only paid 70 bucks and it took about an hour to replace…then, last week the passenger side did the same thing so I had to replace that one that was only 63 bucks from Amazon…and it only took me 45 minutes start to finish…then Wed, while I was cooking the turkey on the grill, I decided to check out the slow starting and found that the positive battery cable was completely loose…and I’m hoping that the small amount of contact it was making was not charging the battery enough…so I tightened that up…the car was idling pretty rough so I had to figure out how to change the spark plugs which ended up being pretty easy and it made a huge difference…so after I tightened the battery cable I started the car and it immediately stalled but then fired right up like normal after that…I think the computer now has to learn everything again but I guess we’ll see after I drive it next but that won’t be till next week with the 5 inches of snow we’re getting tomorrow…back for a political one in a minute…

Well…it’s been a couple of months but my son finally got my site up and running again…and I’ve got to reset the way the site looks since the theme I was using is no longer there…so I’ll be fooling around with that for the next couple of weeks…it has been way too long since I’ve3 been able to talk about my life and things that have and are happening…a branch took out my power line and set the side of my house on fire…okay want to go out and see what the site looks like after I post…okay, resetting the themes is going to take a while…I did get my partial dentures a few weeks back and I’m still learning how to talk with them in but I don’t talk much so that is going to be a long process…think I’ll have to start reading out loud or I’ll never be understandable…one thing that came with hearing myself speak with these things in, I can pick out all the people on tv who are also wearing them…okay…need to do a car one…more later…
