My jeep decided to take up smoking, not a good thing IMO! :evil:

Hoping it's just a loose hose, I get the verdict as to what the damage is sometime today :neutral:

They need facebook for fish nerds so my non-fish friends don't see how actually nerdy I am and make fun of me :razz: And also because I'm addicted to facebook :razz:

Oh and after doing a WC last night I forgot to turn my heaters back on (drain/and refill the sump for WC). Tank was 73F this am :neutral:

Fingers crossed for ya Laurie!

I loved my aqua scape.... I really did, coral was all happy, everything was doing great. I just wanted to move my growing hammer to a new home. I ended up with rocks in buckets, and nearly everything in a new space. Now the hammer is in a new home.. but I'm going to be messing with everything else for awhile until it is happy again.

Why did I have to touch it...

Those are the kinds of stories you end up telling when your frags ask 'how was I born daddy?'

'Well... Daddy was moving some rocks and one thing lead to another...'

I can now control my desktop with my ipad, so cool to have a wireless keyboard again and it did not cost me a thing :biggrin:

Mine took up humming in 4x4 today... Life..:sad:

Found out my water pump on my jeep went it's about $430.00 to fix. Also got a small leak in my power steering hose which is another $400 to fix :mmph:

Ouch that sucks :sad:

$400 to fix a hose???

That was my initial thought as well, however I called a friend who works for Chrysler Canada and he said the hose is a high pressure hose and the part is $200 and probably would take 2hrs to replace so $200 for labor and tax.

I can't remember the exact number but a few years ago I had to pay 300 and change to replace a thermostat!!! The part was as expected about about 15 bucks the rest was labour. They had to take a ton of crap off the get to the thermostat..

Ya that's part of the issue with the hose, it's not in an easy spot to get to and because it's a high pressure hose it's not easy to work with :sad:

$539.67 to replace the water pump in my jeep :Cry: :(

Then just after picking my jeep, on the way home, a truck speeds by me and throws a rock up at me which leaves a big rock chip in the windshield :eek: :censored::bad-word::evil:

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.. Car bills never fun.

especially hundreds of dollars worth of car repairs because of your kids.. because well, they are your kids and you can't tell them off. "It's okay son, just don't put money into the CD slot again okay, thanks." :neutral:

contemplating how the heck im going to move the 180 from garage to house to take it apart and work on it. this could be fun lol

Despite the fact that the newt escaped last night.... Thank god i found him half frozen and covered in cat hair....... Elton John is coming to Lethbridge!!!!! I freaking love love love him!!!! I better get tickets Saturday morning or else!! cannot think of a better way to start my day.:mrgreen:

The Black Bra (as told by a woman)

I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends.
One is engaged, one is a mistress, and I have been
married for 20+ years.

We were chatting about our relationships and decided
to amaze our men by greeting them at the door
wearing a black bra, stiletto heels and a mask over our eyes.
We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes..

Here's how it all went.

My engaged friend:
The other night when my boyfriend came over he
found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask.
He saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my dreams.
I love you..' Then we made passionate love all nightlong.
The mistress:
Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was
wearing a raincoat, under it only the black bra, heels and
mask over my eyes.. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word,
but he started to tremble and we had wild sex all night.
Then I had to share my story:
When my husband came home I was wearing the black bra,
black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes.
When he came in the door and saw me he said,
"What's for dinner,Batman?"

Not looking to Monday :sad: the wife & I have decided to take my boy Hurcules to have him cremated.:cry::cry:

I think we are going to build him an urn to memorialize my boy.

:cry: I feel for you.

That's what I'd do.
Looking back years ago, I had to put down a pet. I was so grief-stricken that I left after Kashmir was euthanised. I never thought about taking him home until it was too late.
At least we buried Bill in the back yard.
I still regret today not bringing Kash home.
OK, that's enough of this for me, I'm tearing up and have to do some plumbing

Thanks guys, we had to put 2 of our oldest house dogs down a couple years ago & they are buried in the flower garden. I would do the same with Hurc but the ground is to hard to dig that big of a hole.

I feel for ya too bro.....I dont mean to make light of the situation but, you've got a bobcat:razz:

Not anymore, ex partner stole it along with everything else the company owned.

Sounds to me like you need some anonymous friends to collect some gear.
We had an issue here a couple years ago where 'so-and-so' walked away with almost everything, legally ...
It only took us a couple of trips to the yard to convince 'so-and-so' much of this stuff is not theirs.
Too bad you're so far away ... I like causing trouble and collecting things :grab:

I feel like making some sort of Awesomafiablyfantasmic smart ass comment. But I don't want to take it to the top, would rather see his thread sink into oblivion.

Ditto! :wink:

Who's thread?

I'm a he, maybe its me! :twised:

oh HIS thread, i get ya now :lol:

I think of its not me I know who now.

Never an easy thing. We still miss our American Bulldog that we had to put down last summer. She's buried in the rock garden beside the pond in the back.

Eggs benni with thick sliced back bacon shredded hashbrowns, with peppers and mushrooms for breakfast a the nano residence... MMM could there be a more delicious way to start the day?
