Wow, 10 years without Firefly!?! Wow! My brain melts at the concept! If you do decide to rewatch, and feel so inclined, please do me/us the favor of trying the new user experiment I recommended above: watch just the opening scenes of "Train Job" then "Out of Gas". Are those enough to convince a...

Thanks! When I looked at the battery connectors yesterday, they did have some corrosion, which kind of made me happy in hopes that that was "all" that was wrong. The Marine's inspection made me much happier. :) Any suggestions for kludging something to use to clean the connectors? I'm ~50...

Tx, yes your Logic makes sense, and I too found it odd. :) On the other hand, Walmart is about the most competent/biggest-lobed Ferengi company on the planet, so maybe they discard hubris ahead of profit. Amazon is nowhere near as competent, and may not realize a competitor is using them. (...

TX: I could well be using the wrong terminology. ... Dang it Tx, I'm a ComputerProgrammer not a... a... a... Moon Shuttle Conductor. ;) (for the Geek Impaired: that's a reference to Classic Star Trek) Hmmm, Wikipedia has it on their list of Walmart brands/private-labels under "others"...

Excellent recap! Posting that demonstrates real potential. :) My savings rule of thumb is to figure out how much of your income is required expenses (taxes, mortgage, utilities, insurance, food-stamp-budget food, etc), and how much is leftover, then save at least half of the leftovers. Ideally...

Hadn't realized it's an Ozark Trail product (i.e. one of Walmart's China-made "house" brands). I've had remarkably good success with every one of the items I've bought of that brand, including stuff that's more than a decade old. :) Even though I'm deeply fond of Aldi, I've found Aldi's own...

George, duck while I fling a Geek Point at you! :) Yeah, Jeri Ryan was just one of the reasons that the brain of any true fan would explode. :D Since I'm (yet-again) in Wait Mode, I just checked Wikipedia and it implies that she's a regular, but it's unclear. There's two lists, and she's under...

Thanks y'all! Very helpful info. :) Update: Phoned around, and asked at The Library. Only one local shop was willing to look at it, and not until tomorrow pm. I'm hoping The Marine will notice me, and help. :) You explained it so well that that that made perfect sense to me. :) Is it possible...

George, that was in the link I posted above. :) Actually, I can't watch Youtube on my laptop, so I partly posted it here in hopes of getting a review. :) Had also sent it to an ultra-Geek buddy, and it blew his mind, so I dusted off my tablet and watched it... yup, TMB (Total Mind Blowing). ;)...

No idea. Which makes more sense? The kind Marine was confident it was the issue, and that it would be a trivial fix, but the parts guy store had that scary vacant "WTF" look.

:cring: "TOS" == The Original Series (fans started referring to it that way after spinoffs galore) "TNG" == The Next Generation (the 1987 spinoff/sequel, and probably most popular of all of Trekdom) HDR, you might like "Firefly". It's been described as a crossover Western and scifi series. It...

Just got back from the parts store. Total blank look from principal guy when I said my starter has a bolt missing. Finally he offered to jump me, but said he said he's booked all day. Ugh. :( And now the phoning begins.

Yes, that's why I put the "ex" in quotes. Was thinking fondly of Gunny. :) Were you a Marine, Firtree?

Some of us (including me) just aren't city types, some are. Diversity is good, and the foundation of this (still mostly) great country. It's good to consider ways that all of us can be where we prefer. I do feel there are entrepreneurial opportunities to make money off vehicle dwellers, while...

Elbear1: Still not starting. The kind Hero didn't have the right bolt or tools, but he did offer to fix it. I figured I'll try the auto parts store first, just so the Hero doesn't feel obligated to plan his day around me, and said so. He concurred, but said he'd look for me only if he was...

Update: It still won't crank. :( Soooo, I popped the hood, and wiggled a ton of stuff, rechecked the oil, closed it up, and... ...heard the Voice of an Angel/Hero asking if I wanted help. :) An "ex"-Marine, fellow Library free-wifi-"wardriver", who'd seen me a few times (as I'd seen him)...

Gary, yes, I thought it was clear that it's a Killfile app issue. You identified the, um, "human factors" Source of the Killage in your last two-ish PMs to me. It's not something that I can solve. It's definitely not a technical problem. Plus, your forums don't have the dreaded 404 bug. :)...

LOL - yeah, didn't occur to me that somebody might not know what that is. :) One other tech point: When I got my (small) hard sided cooler, I did some tests with my min-max thermometer, and found that by itself (i.e. without ice/etc) a cooler does not have as big a benefit as most folks...

Lenny, yes that's true. What's "new" is the concept of a centrally funded retirement pension. That's what truly gives most people the means to "live free". :) It sounds like most mobile vehicle dwellers are of retirement age, as opposed to non-mobile dwellers. Does anyone have stats on that...

HDR: It mystifies me, and this is my area. :) It could be a load issue. This is not the sort of thing a regular webmaster would have expertise in. They really need to get somebody with bona fide expertise to look at the logs. CRVL's web hosting provider may have somebody. Frater had some...
