[Buppies]

Well my team got beat just cannot seem to get past the first round

It is my modest obligation . . .

No one talks like that in New York City, way too polite.

My elderly cousin lives in NY and I often wonder what has become of her. She has a cousin in Toronto and the way I figure it, if the TO cousin really wants to get a hold of me, she has the means.
I figure the bank thing is just a scam and there is no way I will click on any of their 'links'.
I might be a Canuck, but that doesn't mean I am a stupid Canuck.

Good morning all. Either I've gotten up earlier than usual, or it's another dull day today.

No moose loose, about this hoose - although we did have a lamb break loose and start running around the kitchen once Max had persuaded it that playing dead wasn't the best game.

24 now with a high of 30 today with winds making it feel colder. At least no snow for the next couple days!

I paid $2.49 yesterday, for 87 octane. How much does a LPG conversion cost? I've heard that LPG burns very clean, resulting in minimal engine wear.

I've read that it varies from engine to engine, that for some reason in some engines valve guides or seats will wear, but there is an additional lubricating gizmo on the market that isn't very expensive that prevents that.

The conversion should cost less than 1000€. I think there is a lot of variability in the price, as there are several manufacturers of conversion technology and different options. One thing is whether you keep the gasoline tank and possibility to run on gasoline. That's useful if you can't find an LPG station, but on the other hand you then have a smaller LPG tank. If I go this route, I might go for the full conversion though-- there are no shortage of LPG stations in Europe, it just might require a bit of checking on a mobile phone app when travelling to see which station to stop at. Payback would be after about two years of driving.

Then we have the other dilemma of which of our two cars to get rid of once we have the van. My wife's is an Alfa Romeo 156 with a gasoline engine that loves to burn through the oil and antifreeze, but which is newer, with ABS (I don't need it, but I feel better that my wife has it, since she only really started driving regularly at age 30, whereas I've been driving since 15), and the interior is in much nicer shape. My Skoda Octavia has a TDI engine that only needs topping up the antifreeze half as often as the Alfa, but the diesel smokes when starting and the interior is a wreck. If I get the engine fixed or swapped on my wife's, I'm thinking it could be a good candidate for LPG conversion as well. Neither car has much resale value as is. Best I can hope for for my Octavia would be about 1000€.

Then I asked how I was supposed to use my full 100 Gb data allowance each month when I couldn't stream a short video because of the frequent pauses for buffering. She tried to blame it on satellite latency, but my understanding is that once the connection is established, there's no more latency, as the data just pumps through the network.

Correct. Latency doesn't affect data rate. It affects voice-over-IP, so you talk and the other person hears you a second later, likewise also real time video games will be a problem, but streaming video won't be.

42 going to 62 in clouds today. Wind has died down, really blew and blew yesterday
Early eye doc appt this morning, hate to get eyes dilated, messes you up for hours.
Then this afternoon I plant those potatoes I cut up.
Last night I planted two varieties of cucumbers in seedling trays. Next week is four varieties of okra. Beginning of April is going to get busy, all the tomatoes and peppers go in, plus all the beans. I still see one 32 degree morning ahead but I think this area is over the winter hump.

Hope you all have a great day.

Congrats, L4N on such a nice large winning.

Eric, Max looks like a doting father.

Buppies, need your help in turning tomorrow's sleet forecast back into snow like they promised us yesterday.

[Ed of all trades]

Good morning all, 39 now going to 47 and sunny. Thanks for the prayers, wife is going to dr today, likely to Urgent Care. Lips are hurting again as the meds that she had was messing her up and she quit taking them.

RNG, We had huse net and it was :thumbdown:. We swapped to Excede and it was not great but much better. (I know my spelling is off.)

Have a great day. Prayers sent. Ed

Poured second cup of coffee. 19° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 37° with some sun. Wind blew most of the night. But has settled down now. Should be a good day to pickup tree limbs after I get back from PT. Maybe a run to Costco. Apparently did not purchase enough last week. Not going to call anyone about internet problems today. That should keep my BP down where it belongs.

Drew, I hope frost stays away from you. So much work to be ruined by cold temperatures.

Looking, got the same email. DELETE. I do not have any accounts with BOA. And never will. Yesterday was a slow day with the robo calls. But day before I got 5 in a row. Blocked all 5 on iPhone. Not sure Canadians get the same. But since all our phones are Apple. They are connected for phone calls. That also allows me to block a caller one phone and it syncs to the other 2. I love to see same caller got blocked 10 times in notifications. :thumbsup:

RNG, sure hope your area gets some better internet service.

Ed, hope you get your families care on the right track soon. Prayers sent.

Prayers for those in need.

Good Morning All.

Ron got a call day before yesterday recording about my credit card debt. Normally I hang up but this one was one too many. Pressed one person comes on obviously not from this country and starts telling me how he's going to save us money on our credit cards. I told him we run no balences that he is to remove my number from his files. Then proceed to tell him if he does I will sue him personally his company and all company officials. He stammers once then I inform him I am in meeting with our attorney and would he like to speak with him. We are removed from their list

 

[ronjhall]

We are removed from their list

You got someone to talk too? All I ever get is recordings.
