What's new

The Coffee House

Tried 1/2 and 1/2 Salted Caramel and Pumpkin Spice. It wasn't so great, but I still managed to drink it. I mean, coffee is coffee!

Those intergalactic Jedi in Pasadena need to go back to driver's training.

So do people here, early 10 p.m. news showed an interstate closed due to a multi car accident. At 10 o'clock at night?? Then next day after the noon news a shooting. The weather is unseasonably warm and sunny so things get revved up. Can't these people figure out a better way to enjoy nice weather?

ToysRUs announcement - it's almost Christmas. Really?? lol
 
Yesterday on the way back from Houston an 18 Wheeler made mincemeat out of a GM Tahoe. Clear weather dry road.
Who can predict idiocy?

Thanks @limr , @SquarePeg , and @Gary A. !

No little one with me, thankfully! Also, glad it happened today, because I was traveling yesterday!

So, supposedly it is a known problem with my transmission. So known that Subaru had an extended warranty free replacement for the part.

No cost to me! Woohoo! Thanks Santa!
All's well that ends well! Glad it turned out that way.

Thanks, I am very lucky it turned out that way
 
I missed this earlier - glad everything turned out well, Wade.
 
Gary is in a good mood. Gary purchased a very expensive Integra receiver ... shortly after warranty it stopped. Gary was never very happy with it and it finally went kaput. Today he installed and powerup a replacement receiver, a Yamaha, a quarter the price and it works perfectly. The speakers never sounded better and the subwoofer is pounding away and all the HMDI fittings are working. Vino and music at Gary's ... come on by.

I can't, putting in glow plugs the Chevy 2500HD today. What a flippin job, I'm over it. I should be done with them in the morning. Pretty much done, got them all out. Will put in the new ones in the AM. It's suppose to get real cold on Christmas and I have important sales calls on Tuesday and Wednesday. They were toast (literally) to say the least, original ones it appears. Passenger side was easy, driver side makes you cuss like a drunken sailor.

@Gary A. We put in a Yamaha A/V home theater receiver when we finished out our basement. It's worked great, though I've yet to figure out all the features it has. I know it's a real PITA when granddaughter gets her hands on a remote.
 
@jcdeboever I find my body refuses to bend in the shapes required to do much under the hood mechanical work anymore.

Well this is more like sit on a rolling creeper stool. You pull the fender well covers out and they're right there. It took a while to get the pull barn toasty. Clips are fiddley without the proper tool but you get through it or like I did, break them and buy more. Passenger side, the plugs are right there, easy for the taking but the driver side, lots of stuff and clips to move / remove. I changed the fuel filter while I was at it. Took me about four hours to get them out and install a new fuel filter, in between cups of coffee, answering customer calls, and getting yelled at by the wife. Oh, I also put a truck side plow power cable on as well, I pinched the harness yesterday trying to take the blade off. A crap load of wires to heat shrink but that's done too. Saving the father in law a few bucks... again...

So far so good, going through the manual to hookup the network, bluetooth and such ... the Integra weights 45 lbs, the Yamaha half that.
 
I crushed it today. Walmart, Home Depot, Staples, Trader Joe’s, mani/pedi for the dog, Target #1, Bed and Bath, Hallmark store, lunch with Princess after school, post office, Target #2, groceries, laundry, vacuumed, cooked dinner... Got so much done that I may have to schedule in a mani pedi tomorrow to fill my day off. Or go to work to get some rest!

And one of my new lenses arrived. Going to sit back and relax and enjoy a nice pomegranate martini and some snacks.

Thank you!

@waday Happy to see you were taken well care of. My other half spent her money well and bought a Crosstrek a couple years ago. We have been very happy with it.
Thanks! I’ve been happy with Subaru, as this is my third.
