PaganMegan 23466 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Just read an article on the stages of marriage. Honeymoon stage, where everything is rose colored glasses. First few years. Bickering stage, where you start to find faults you didn't notice before, about five to maybe ten or fifteen years in. Then quiet partnership, now that you know each other, and are willing to give each other room. Somehow I think Grump and me skipped both of the first two stages, and slid right into quiet domesticity. No mad passionate romance, but our bickering is mostly about rules for games. It helps that each of us knows how to blast the other out of our funks. I shoved him into the after school game, and he dropped a 3D printer on me. We were both right! We also both made damned sure we knew each others faults. Grump tried to scare me off with his! I'm so mean and nasty! Grrr! Would you like another pork chop? 10 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gadgetman! 20102 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 45 minutes ago, Green Eyed Monster said: Just a guess, it sounds like you have a corroded main battery cable/terminal that is intermittently disconnecting all electrical power to the vehicle. GEM Best of luck with the troubleshooting/repair. Addendum: It's an extremely rare occurrence but you might have a battery with a warped plate. If that is the case the warped plate can intermittently cause an internal short circuit when the plate makes contact with the adjacent plate. A load test will often reveal the presence of such a defect. I believe my battery is in pretty decent shape, but I'll check it first. It started on the first try when I took it out of the garage... My own guess is the starter leads. It's not that long since I had this pile of parts apart to swap the clutch, and the starter is one of the parts that has to be removed... (well, I didn't remove it, I just unbolted it and pulled it from the gap in the bell housing and left it dangling along the side of the motor while I used blunt force and ignorance to remove the driveshafts and gearbox... Doing a clutc swap on a FWD car with transverse engine is not a fun job) 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ManvsMini 15887 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Deep Thoughts (that aren't really relevant 2021) by MvM: Shania Twain's song "That Don't Impress Me Much" from 1997 had the lyrics "Ok, so you're Brad Pitt... That don't impress me much." I wonder how that made Brad Pitt feel. This has been a Deep Thought (that isn't really relevant in 2021) brought to you by MvM. Think deeply, my friends. 1 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWulfe 42063 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Meanwhile, here in Alberta I can't go any faster for internet due to living I nan old building. Telus will gladly try and offer me their 1Gbps service, and Shaw is all "we can swap you... Oh wait, old building"... I just wish they hadn't downgraded the upload. 300Mbps down is great, but 15 upload is terribly slow when you're backing up stuff. I'd love it to be at least twice that.. 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We don’t argue much, and when we do we typically work out what we’re talking about. We definitely never bickered or picked at each other. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marvin 41482 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 For some reason I ordered onion on a hamburger today, and for some reason they put practically the whole onion on it. And then, for some reason, I ate all the onion. All of it. It's been seven hours or so. Still eating that onion. Farewell forever, sweet Internets. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marvin 41482 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 My father-in-law does that. Every meal, bite of onion with every bite of food. I... am a bit more sensative a lad, unfortunately. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
