Yea I bet your right about Mike.

Saturday was a bear for me around here. The temp gotup again while I was in the yard. I came in as soon as I felt like something was up. Maybe I need to look into a kid doing my yard as well.

hey, there... yeah, thanks for the info on the AC, Steve. I was just whining about the boring thing...

Probably if I put more of your suggestions in practice it would improve my electric bill. On the other hand, I have 2 meters, plus a utility light, so I get 3 bills for hmmm, roughly 8500 sq. ft. under roof. That includes the main house, workshop and guest house, and well, whatever. I know the AC is a big chunk of that, tho'. Just the lighting around here is a big piece of it. We have hmm, lets see.... 6 exterior AC units outside. It's a lot to manage, fer sur!!!

Also, you are soooo fun to kid about slightly 'off color' stuff, because I know you are a good person, and quite true and straight as an arrow. I'm just kidding you, because I know you.....

(btw. I am quite true, and straight as an arrow, too, but it gets so 'dead' around here, that a little spice on a forum that is 99.9% male, is just too much 'temptation' for me to pass up!!!

Generally, the lounge posts are quite clean and on the up and up. Now go over to the 'jokes' thread, and wow, some of them get really uh, 'hot'! I do read some of them, but I've never posted there. They are funny, but taken with the intention in which they are posted. I can 'kid' with Bernie, or whoever, because distance makes it work. Now I would never 'kid in that way' with you or Fred, or such, because we're just a little too close, familiarity could cause an uncomfortable situation..... That's why the 'pink thong' thing could just die off... fun for awhile, but time to move on..... Anyway, I could never actually wear one of those things- talk about uncomfortable!!!

ok. onto the pic with Ron. That's a fun pic, and is for now my desktop backdrop. Fun!

man, it's hot outside.

the girls want to skate but nooo way! too hot! They'd melt. oh yeah. I took some pics of them skating the other night. will post later.
I hope Peter is drinking a lot of water, and that he doesn't get heatstroke at camp. I worry about that.... I know the coaches are all very sensitive to that, with there having been a few heat related deaths at football practices the last couple of years, but you just want to be sure.

We had an 'Ozarka' water truck bring a dispenser and 4 big bottles of water today. The Dallas lake water is 'turning over' and tastes like dirt. groosss. my hubby decided we finally could go to bottled water. spring water. We'll see. A novel thing at our house always gets lots of attention. I was gonna scrapbook this afternoon, but think a few minutes of reading then a nap sounds good. It's already 3:30, so just a few minutes should do it.
seeya this evening!

ps. I moved over to the computer with dialup last night, so son could play his internet game, and gee, I could almost get a game of freecell in between every forum change. slow slow slow. We sure get used to broadband!

Why don't all your computers use the broadband connection?

4RE KLR · #5 (**permalink**) 08-01-2005, 02:30 PM

brent
We are thinking of adding a second one for the kids. Can I hook up two computers to the same dsl connection?

Or is that illegal and I do not know it?

Steve,
Thought I would update you on the thermal windows we talked about around a month ago.
I went with the company we checked out on the internet.

All my windows were replaced last week,including 3 baywindows.
They pretty much rebuilt the three baywindows.Only charged me for the cost of the lumber,as they said they would BEFORE they saw how much extra work was involved.

I went with the vinyl frames,low E+ glass with a grey tint.
MAN THEY WORK !!! Had to raise the tempt on the a/c,dropped the tempt 3* inside and a/c doesn't come on like it before.

THANKS for educating me on thermal windows !!! Your knowledge
and advise is solid.

They will only troubleshoot to a PC connected directly, but most providers now include a router with your deal. You are paying for the 1.5Mb (or whatever the case may be) throughput to your house and they don't mind much what you do with it from there aside from having a web server or something similar. Wired routers are pretty secure and wireless ones can be reasonably secure if you get a newer one.

I am sure someone else could 'splain it bester.

4RE KLR · #8 (**permalink**) 08-01-2005, 03:15 PM

What do you mean better I only understood about half of what you said.

Fred,
Thanks. One thing I do know is how to keep a house cool efficiently and cost effectively. It took years to learn that but it has paid off several times. I am glad that company worked out for you and they did what they said they would do. Good labor is very hard to find in this business.

You pay for the service to the house so it is legal to have multiple computers sharing the service. How you connect those computers to share the service is usually with a router, wired or wireless. An improperly set up wireless router will allow someone near your house share your internet connection and possibly the information on your computers.

Hey, what is a good pickup (lead) for a Fender Strat? I want a good clean sound like Mark Knopfler.

4RE KLR · #11 (**permalink**) 08-01-2005, 04:22 PM

Oh really
I guess I'll check into that before I set itup then, Thanks

My brother in law can play the (you know what) out of the elctric guitar and his favorite is the Fender Stratocaster. Listening to him play that thing will make your heart stop. He can make it talk to you like no one I have ever heard. He has several bands that he plays with, that he started and is on the radio quiet often. He recently played at a concert for the radio and when he started to play everyone started screaming like Hendix was on stage. Very, very fast with his fingers.

I will see if I can get in touch with him. PM me your phone number and maybe I can get hin to call you.

BTW
Did anyone notice we are sneaking up on 40,000 views?

flipper35 · #13 (**permalink**) 08-01-2005, 05:24 PM

Next time you talk to him ask what a good mid-priced lead pickup is. I can play the crap (as in sounds like crap) out of a guitar

Actually, I play well enough that a new pickup would be noticable to me. No famous bands though.

Anybody that has met you and knows you would know this to be 100% correct.

thats right

As ERA600HP would say

"It is hard to soar with the Eagles, when you associate with all these turkey's"

Kristen,
Ask you about what?

EarlsflyinCobra · #17 (**permalink**) 08-02-2005, 03:09 AM

Can you guys share the "Name" of the company you checked out on the internet??? Are they local to you or national?? Thanks.

trularin · #18 (**permalink**) 08-02-2005, 04:35 AM

The chat room is full.

Subject: $20.00

On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed.

This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed.

Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state.

During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.

Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.

She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, these holdings had multiplied
and these were the results of her savings and investments.

Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, "If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"

That's when she shot him.

You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

Ron
