Yeah I saw that. What's worse is his daughter and some other kid were onboard.

Yeah I did that last year and once Spring hit it was fine again and I forgot about it but this winter the battery doesn't hold a charge more than 48 hours. Even off the trickle charger I only get an extra day or two out of it.

Word around the campfire is that it was foggy weather at the time. Not sure if that was the cause or a factor or anything for sure it's early yet but I have inside info on aviation stuff I'll let you know what they find out. Not that it will bring him back but as pilots we try to learn from these things because we don't get too many second chances ourselves.

I wonder how many people really feel that bad about Kobe. He was well known as a great basketball player, and a terrible human being.

Well, tell me how the new one goes, I might be looking at car stuff again this summer, once I stop being house-poor

I'm not particularly upset more than I am any time people die in aviation incidents. Just commenting on the 2 of the 8 other less famous people on board to put it in perspective?

ESPN says 9 on board. Don't get me wrong, I don't wish death on any innocent person. I didn't know Kobe, and I have never sat down and watched a basketball game in my life. But I do watch the news. Sorry if I'm blunt, but I wonder. Are the same sports writers, coaches, teammates, etc. who voted him the #5 worst person ever in all of professional sports now going to say great things about him?

Thanks, good idea!

I spent 20 minutes getting the long blonde hair unwrapped from the beater bar for starters. I mentioned to mrs humfrz that I was thinking about getting hair nets for the granddaughters.

She said, as she is kicked back in her recliner, swiping through the pages on Amazon with her i-Pad (Pro no less), ya no, humfrz, they do sell vacuum sweepers with guaranteed no hair tangled beater bars.

I said to her that there ain't nutten wrong with my sweeper, their is just too damn much long hair in this house.

So, NOW it's nap time -

OK, but before I invest in your UK to Canadian translation, I need to find out if someone can translate Canadian to American AND if someone can translate American to Hillbilly, so as I can understand -

Here is a little fun hint for you when you pack and move a lot. For example, when you move from point A to point B, the movers will put yellow stickers on your boxes. Then when you move from point B to point C, they put green stickers on your boxes. Wait for it. Then when you unpack the boxes after moving from point C to point D - when you finally open the boxes with the yellow stickers (from two moves ago) you will find all kinds of fun stuff.

Yep, once you save up for a:

new clothes washer and dryer
new bed
new stove/oven
new microwave
new furnace
new AC
new carpeting
new paint for the exterior
new garbage disposal
new roof
new refrigerator


plus new stuff the mrs wants for her new nest because the old stiff just doesn't "fit" the new nest (interior paint/wallpaper, furniture, lighting, landscaping, patio stuff, etc.).

Enjoy!
