Bought a usb receiver for tracking aircraft, waited about 2 weeks for it to come from Canada, arrived this morning and I can honestly say it has literally been run over by a truck.
Keep reminding them that you are retiring soon, sow the seeds of panic. There may be an opportunity to become a 'consultant', for reduced working hours, and higher rates. Or enjoy the retirement.Finished up fixing the factory fluster cluck in New Jersey yesterday. It was a rough job and the new guy got quite the education from the Old Goat. New guy is driving me to the Philadelphia airport so I can fly back to Chicago. I get a text from my boss asking if I'm available for a phone call. That's never good. Because he planned poorly, I now have to cancel my flights, hotel, and rental car for next weeks work trip to South Carolina and warm weather. Instead, I now have to rebook everything and go back to New Jersey for a totally different nightmare.
Crud.
Yes it seems that the suggestions were written by a moron. Anyone starting to lecture me on this is going to get told in no incertain terms what they are and where to go!I tried using my left hand to open the driver's door on my Mk4 Panda, and it is so awkward, reaching through or around the steering wheel, that all attention would be on doing that rather than looking for cyclists. And it wouldn't force me to turn my head backwards because the handle is at the forward end of the door. I will continue to use my right hand, whilst looking in my mirror, then look through the gap when I have started to open the door.
I too have difficulty, and discomfort and adapt my driving and use of the car accordingly. As Its virtualy impossible to open the door of my car as mentioned above. any other way than with your right hand, I wonder about the mentality of the people responsible for the new code. This utter nonsense in unenforcable and will result in some lengthy challenges in court. If the police are foolish enough to start on this with me, my camera will be following them and filming them untill they sort themseles out!!Incidentally it also hurts me to use my left hand in this way because I have arthritis in my right shoulder which doesn't hurt if I open the door with my right hand.
That's the problem, some people have no common sense, health and safety gone mad to cover the minority of idiots in the world. It was oddly refreshing when working in China that they do have a much more common sense approach to things - you do something blindingly stupid, you get hurt (no so much in India, where other people's stupidity can kill you!).The idiocy of writing a heirarchy of road users into the code beggars common sense if. This is common sense and could be covered better by a general requirtement than such idiotic poorly thought out rules.
Like those walking across roads and junctions glued to their mobile phones, tapping and yapping away whilst listening to music via headphones, some being blinking great sound shielding ear muffs. Some cyclist are no better weaving in and out of traffic, headphones again, ignoring traffics lights when turning left or going onto pavement to cross junction to bypass the lights.That's the problem, some people have no common sense, health and safety gone mad to cover the minority of idiots in the world.
Historically we'd dig a pit. No flushing, so no clogging. When nearly full, cover it up, dig another. And i bet the grass grew well above it. Unblocking toilets is called progress.My oldest grandson managed to plug the supposedly "Unpluggable Toilet" last night, with what we call a "Super Turd". Unplugging it wasn't fun, nor was it pretty. Actually, it was kind of scary when the "Super Turd" broke loose and splashed back up at me. Loud words were said when the auger twisted and sprung out of the turd water, spraying the bathroom walls, and me. Ick!
Jeez, what are they feeding this kid?
I grew up with outhouses. Also a hand pump in the backyard. The only time outhouse was a problem was when one of the cats decided to spring forth a litter below the two holer.Historically we'd dig a pit. No flushing, so no clogging.

Watching him talk recently, he just looks more like a puppet for those running the showCan someone, at the very least, kick Putin really hard in the nuts?...
This - the Russian invasion - is so sad to see. Can't we all just behave like grownups? Many people will die. Appalling and horrific as that is there will be many more who suffer the most terrible conditions and abuse, I feel sick when I think of all the poor innocent children who will suffer and not understand why - The most terrible things always happens in wars no matter how much principled people try to intervene. I'm not a person of conventional religious conviction but I find myself imploring any power that may be to please intervene in this and stop it!Can someone, at the very least, kick Putin really hard in the nuts?...
It's just horrible to see this happening over and over.. Western countries invading 3rd world dictatorships - I understand that's obviously with a wish to better the general conditions in the countries, but it's not that much different to what's happening now, is it..?This - the Russian invasion - is so sad to see.

My 40bhp Seicento 900 did about 55mpg going (literally) flat out on the M6. It had to because Stoke to M56 is a race track. It might have done better round town but I doubt it.Re: What's made you grumpy today?
Can't expect anything else with a little engine. My bimmer is the opposite, 25-30mpg round town and 44-50mpg on the motorway.
Coof arrives the worst virus we have ever seen (ignore Spanish Flu).It's just horrible to see this happening over and over..

That said it's still unfathomable that it happens.. What's next?
