Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

[soundman98]

ugh.... trying to research network stuff for mildly upgrading my own house, but then using the same gear for a mesh network at church... it's like these companies intentionally make it difficult... i'm starting to feel like i'm reading something lawyers drew up just reading the specs

Ironically almost all the 7/11s in my city have been put out of business by the small mom and pop shops.
We had about 30 of them 5 years ago and one of the last 3 just closed at Christmas.

@Ultramaroon
Just got a call from my older grandson that you met last summer. He was asking if he could stay at our house for the next 3 school years. Apparently he has been accepted into the Manufacturing Engineering program at the college here. Gonna' really hamper my engineer poking (not really it won't slow me down).

Good thing you fessed up. I would've taken great pleasure in calling you out.

We don't have 7-11 here, we have The Maverick and Stinkers. Both have better food choices. And gas.

Of course they were homemade, 7-11s in Idaho, sources their food locally -

Would love to bring back an R33 now that they’re legal. An RX7 would be great too but I wouldn’t be capable of keeping the engine in working order.

OK, you just gave yourself two good reasons not to do that -

Ok, honest truth. If I could afford Steve McQueen 's 917 I would drive it.

You bought the wrong type of gloves to take over there -

(sorry, bad joke - )

Gotta feel that love or it's no fun. I just love the process no matter what machine. I just fixed the battery drain issue in my older daughter's rx300. Ended up cutting open a power lock drive unit to replace the motor. That was an interesting one.
