My wife said the same thing... but they’ve been some asshat that reporting BS to them. End of July, they send me a letter warning me that I need to use the garage to park all the cars & claiming that my 3rd car (which I don’t have) will be towed away, if I don’t get parking pass. I only have 2 cars (WRX & BRZ) & have always used the garage. Only time we parked outside in public parking was when AC & other house repair ppl asked to move the cars, so they can bring parts inside the house easier. I laughed at that letter, but at the same time, I’m annoyed that someone say some BS about us. So this is why I’m trying not to break any HOA rules, so they don’t have any shit against us.

OK, is the HOA made up of residence people or is it a part of a management company?

It makes a difference on how to handle them.

It's an OLED, so it has RICH COLORS! I mean, the colors are amazing compared to my old LCD TV.

It's a LG C9 65"

Are you still watching one of these? (I still have one...)

Well, if you turned your head around more often to back up, maybe you would have recognized that is definitely not the back of an FRS.

Does it have a battery pack? Our first tv was my dad's three inch, portable, battery-powered, acorn tubed sony. It was top-level tech of its time.

My mom often told the story of when I poured orange juice through the top grill when I was, like 3. I guess I thought that's what it was for.

The vertical deflection went for another ten years after my dad fixed it.

as much of a joke as it is, i'm still looking off and on for a jar of wiring harness smoke. i'll probably end up making one after i figure out how to age printed labels. i'm still not sure what fluid to fill the bottle with though...

i also don't know what tools are used to re-fill wires..

my parents keep their tv in a cabinet. having a 49" teevee is MASSIVE now.

i can't imagine having a 65". and with 3d, i'd be afraid of getting my eye poked out watching Minority Reports 3-boob scene...

Sorry, I must tell this Lucas smoke story ….. again -

It was a warm spring day back in Connecticut, off of Webster Place, off of Shut Road when I finished working on my 1970 MGB-GT. I decided to take it for a spin around the block. All at once I smelled Lucas smoke. I skidded to a halt and popped the hood and the smoke bellowed out. Lucas smoke has a very distinct smell (like the smell of a burning clutch is distinct).

As I was frantically tearing the back seat apart to get to the batteries, a couple of neighbors were trying to knock down the electrical fire with small fire extinguishers, while yelling "humfrz, get out of there - it's gonna blow".

However, I wasn't about to let my MG burn up, so I finally got the screwed down battery cover off and pried one of the battery cables off the post. That stopped feeding the fire. The neighbors helped me push my charred car home.

Yep, the next day, I fired up my trusty back up vehicle, a 1956 Ford Pickup truck, and went to several wrecking yards till I finally found a wiring harness.

THE END
