Hah! What a way to start the New Year!
Got a steal on a 1992 Chevy Blazer Tahoe 4×4. It was unwanted, in too poor of shape to fix or drive. Seriously, that was the owners opinion.
Drove 70 miles to get it. Put in a battery (from the Gladiator), put some air in [...]
The forecast is for -21°F, with windchills around -35°. The block heater on Vger seemed to work great last night (0°F).
Today has been a day of frustration. I’m trying to do the EOY for our Great Plains installation, and it’s not going well at all.
Up to (and including) version 8, upgrades were simple. [...]
Too confused/busy to blog the last few days. I managed to get off early on Christmas Eve and took Christmas Day and Friday off. I was actually carrying the Master Pager for the group and only got one page the entire weekend, and the problem was solved before I could return the call; so “work” was [...]
Getting a bit behind.
Gas dropped to 1.679 12/19 in GR, at the same time gas in Bemidji was 1.659. Closest it’s been for some time.
On the way back from Bemidji about 6:30 12/19 we passed a fresh accident scene. Found out this morning that a semi load of OSB tried to pass [...]
We showed -30°F this morning, by 11AM it had warmed up to -20°F. Neither Vger nor the Red Horizon wanted to start. Finally got Vger to start about 11, Matt got the Horizon to start after he got home from school about 3 PM using ether. Currently -6°F now at 7 PM, [...]
-10°F this morning at home; NWS says -2°F, sign in town says -5°F. Cold enough for me. Got maybe 2″ of snow yesterday, plus a lot of drifting. The roads kind of vanished for a bit as the blowing snow made it hard to see where they were and obliterated the tire [...]
Gas in GR went to 1.729 sometime yesterday.
Changed oil in Vger and the Red Horizon on Sunday to Valvoline 5w-30. Vger barely started after the cold night and we had to jump-start the Horizon. Neither car has a block heater, not sure why I didn’t get one installed on the Horizon while it [...]
Well, I think we can say that winter has really come in. Saturday night we officially hit -11° (although my thermometer showed -20°) and we got an honest 2″ of snow on Sunday.
Roads are very icy this morning; as I followed the UPS semi (with doubles) into the round-about about 75 ft back [...]
Well, I don’t have svchost errors anymore.
Disabling the “server” service stopped the errors from happening, but it also stopped a bunch of other stuff that I wanted. So, I was going to do a repair install of XP and brought a CD home to do it with.
I have two types of WinXP CD’s lying [...]
Gas in Bemidji Saturday was at 1.919 while GR was at 2.199; today gas in Bemidji is at 1.869 while GR is at 2.069.
Whatever.
‘Bout 1/2″ snow last night, quite chilly. Just enough to make everyone slide around the street.
Got the (correct) Alternator swapped out on Vger. O’Reilly’s kept trying to sell me the [...]
