Thats just some insane mileage. You don't have a horse attached to it or something do you??

The most insane mileage i ever got out of a vehicle was a 92 civic with a d16y7 engine in it with 17 inch tires. That thing would get 48 mpg at the ripe old age of 220000 km. The current civic i am working on will likely get 4.8 mpg thanks to the turbo and the B18C1 engine.... if i ever finish the damn thing
 
My friend apparently brought my brother home last night. I was out.
The only symptoms I had from the vaccine were fatigue & my arm feeling bruised (with no visible signs). So I slept it off. Mom sent me in to town to get her an order from Subway since she realized I wasn't up to cooking. I think tomorrow I should go to the grocery store. Need bleach for the condensate line for the air conditioner.
I called HomeDepot to find out if they could make sure my toilet tank was packaged more securely when re-ordered. Customer service lady was appalled that the broken tank caused injury & also shocked that they didn't offer me a discount. Apparently they were supposed to re-order it with a discount in store in that situation. She said unfortunately, there is nothing they can do to give instructions on better packing but she did re-order it for me with a discount. I said this time I will get a flatbed cart and open it in the store to check. So, new tank should be arriving in a couple days. Crossing my fingers that it will be intact.
 
I'd honestly probably be dead without internet because I would not have been able to contact people for help when I couldn't get in touch via phone & was stranded out here with no water & power & the authorities told me I was s.o.l. & refused to send help.

I got up early & peeled a potato & planned to cook it to surprise mom. She didn't want it so I ate it. Then when I finished mine she wanted one. LOL. So I peeled & cooked her another.

Trying to motivate myself to get up and go to the store to get bleach for that condensate line and maybe get more lunchmeat since my brother has been eating a ton of it.
 
Let's go back to the time before the internet when we actually had to watch TV.
Anybody remember Tim? There was a show which I believe we saw on public broadcasting on Saturday or Sunday night. It was called The secret Life of machines.
 
I vaguely recall that.

I liked certain shows as a kid but I also loved to play outside so I didn't watch too much TV. I practically lived in my swimming pool when we were in California.

I went to the pawn shop today but the air compressor had already sold so I couldn't confirm if it was mine. Still holding out hope that maybe it's still in my friend's house somewhere.

Got some bleach to pour down the condensate line. I'm hoping it will stop water from pouring out under the air conditioner. I need to put the moisture absorbing things under there in a bit. Picked up my friend to bring him out to replace the light in the hallway. New light is extremely bright and I can see all sorts of stuff that needs to be cleaned that I couldn't see before. I told my friend "I can't see s*** in this hallway". Turns out there was literal s*** in the hallway where cats missed the litterbox. With my allergies plugging up my nose I couldn't smell it.

Friend's grandfather was ahead of me in line. He apparently got his driver's license back last week. I reminded him to get his vaccine. He didn't know how so I told him he could get it at the Walmart pharmacy (we were in line at the pharmacy). I told him how I didn't even feel the shot I got. So he asked the clerk & she scheduled him for the first shot on Monday.

Friend was complaining about one of the mooches staying there. Mooch hogs his computer all day & argues with him when he wants him to get off of it. Then he sits next to him and plays guitar in his ear very loudly. The more he tells him to stop the louder he plays until he drives my friend out of the room. I would not put up with that. That guy would be out on his ear if he pulled that. I told my friend to get some wire cutters & tell the jerk if he plays one more chord, a string is getting cut. Then cut the strings if he keeps playing. Strings cost less than the food, electricity, internet, & water the jerk has been mooching off of him. My brother told the jerk he'd teabag him again if he didn't stop pestering our friend & hogging the computer.

Got another friend who is supposed to come out soon to remove a fallen tree and cut blackberry bushes next to the air conditioner. We'll see whether or not he shows up.
 
I didn't know they still sold the 58" ones. I couldn't find any when I was looking. Our old projection screen TV is 58". We replaced it with a slim 55" TV. I'm holding out for the OLED tvs to come down in price eventually.

I did next to nothing yesterday. I was exhausted again and slept. I did get up and cook for mom when she woke me up but I was too tired to do much of anything else. I think bleach down the condensate line worked but it's down to 45° outside so I don't know if the AC is helping with that.

My friend announced on FB that he wasn't leaving his house yesterday due to his superstition since it's been a bad luck day. He had friends saying they could order food & bring it over to him. He's now nicknamed his ex's baby "Fatman". Said he didn't have anyone who could watch Fatman for him to go anywhere. FB is also being overly stupid in censorship. He joked with my bro that he was going to hit him with a brick (for my bros' Nascar joke) and FB said they took it down bc it was a violent threat.

I'm going to try to be productive today. Toilet tank supposedly arrived at the store yesterday but is not ready for pickup yet. So either it didn't actually arrive or they lost it or they didn't bother to sort it yet. I've had them lose stuff before.

I was recently looking to replace my TV and was told that the OLED TV's only lasted maybe 5 years. I didn't by one or replace mine.
 
I have had my 70 inch for a year and a half or two. It works flawlessly. It was purchased 11/7/12. A customer of mine about a 72 in OLED and asked me if I knew anybody that wanted an old TV. It's sort of too big for my place, but free is a really good price. 😁
It's a Sharp AQUOS. I recall reading that this was the first 70" LED TV available at the time.
The customer bought it at Walmart and the receipt says $2, 498.00 😱 My have times changed.
 
I have not once in my entire life bought a TV. I gave the one my mom bought me away when i was 13 to a room mate when i was 18. From there on out, i went over 10 years without a TV and then my wife demanded we get one "shudder" so i have been rocking hand me downs and free tv's for the last 10 or so. Currently i have a 52 inch panasonic with about 8 dead pixel lines and i have no prospects of replacing it until another free one shows up.
People give tv's away as freely as herpies
 
I knocked over my beer onto my laptop yesterday. It did a few strange things and I stood it up on edge as fast as I could. Keep your fingers crossed, I haven't tried it yet but will as soon as I get off the main computer. Sure hope I don't have to get a new one.
 
Oh noes Daris, that is not ideal. I ruined an ex-girlfriends lap top spilling a whole cider on it one day, it was the beginning of the end, both for the laptop and our relationship.
I wish you luck sir!
