Dee-sem-brrr Coffee

[Arcey]

Hay.

December 5th 'n I got windows open. Takin' advantage of it while it lasts. 

[Delmonico]

Went and checked on The General early, his was co-opertive, he can be weird in the cold, it makes no sense having to pump a vehicle with FI but he won't start with out it, part throttle don't work.  Asked the mechanic about it, says it makes no sense but do it if it works.

[Stu Kettle]

Just hit still -2 here, 'spectin' a high of 15. I'm not going anywhere anyway.

[The Trinity Kid]

Hope you get better, Stu.  The thermometer on the porch said 5 here this morning, so the hot coffee is GREATLY appreciated.  Got t' head to teh town of Mt. Shasta today, and Redding for school. oh boy....

I am glad the Cawffee was good this morning. The temp is still in the upper 30s and no precip. I had a late breakfast,  a bowl of oatmeal and a sausage biscuit. Victoria is catching up on some nap time.

Howdy y'all,

Got the heater problem fixed about 9:00 pm last nite & took a 2nd visit from a Heat/AC contractor. Our apt mgr. re-lit the pilot the 1st time & it stayed on an hr. Woke this morning warm an' toasty.

Hope you feel better soon Stu & prayers continue for your family TK.

'Roo should be close to his destination & this storm would have passed up the Bitter-root Mtn. range by now. More weather from the north comin' in tamarraw. 23 right now & a low of 15.

Stay warm an' dry gang.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Temps are startin' to drop here now. We have a Winter Weather Advisory up starting about midnight. Rain, then sleet and snow. Accumulation of between 4 and 6" by morning sometime

Just got finished going through the set list for Saturday evening, trying to hit the tough spots. Doing mostly harmony parts, so they don't always sound like the tune is thought to. Do have one 8 bar flugle solo right at the beginning of the night....Buck

[Delmonico]

He got there about an hour ago, was downstairs eating and watching TV, was a text when I got up.

Yep here had nice day battling the snow pack. Seen a really nice herd of elk along I90 between Bozeman and Three Rivers, maybe 100 head of cows and yearlings. It was causing a bit of a traffic jam. Was dark when i got here. I can say when i left here the highway tontown was only 2 lanes. It is now 4 lanes

[Major 2]

Glad you & Mrs . made a safe crossing  



My Wife is madder than two wet cats tied together ... her new Washing Machine ( 2 1/2 months old under warranty) fritz-ed up she called the Maytag hotline last week
and they said they'd send repairman out between 1 & 5 Tuesday 12/3/13 ( turns out it's contracted to All Service) The dude shows
not between 1-5 but at 7 PM (my wife hung around all day for the guy ) so he said its the Circuit Board, he does not have the part.
But he''ll have it overnight-ed and promises to come yesterday ( Thurs.  12/5 ) between 8 and Noon.
She annoyed , she has to stay home yet another day.... so the DUDE does not show by 12 so @ 1PM she calls to see if he is still coming..
The Service contractor operator said "WE were supposed to call and say'n the part was in "    WTH ! The dude said he'd be there and nothing about calling , besides UPS did not arrive with it until 6:37 PM an a call would have been pointless as ALL Service only has operators answering 8-5 EST and your call is very important to us please call back between 8 & 5 EST.
She got a surly operator to boot, and re scheduled for Monday the 9th.  ( a 3rd Day she'll have to take off, to be here !   )
SHE IS PISSED ! they told her "the MAYTAG Dealer sold her a defective Product ."
So in effect All Service dished both the authorized dealer and MAYTAG....

I call the Dealer & he is Pissed too, and he called MAYTAG , I don't know what they are doing about it.... but the best the Dealer could do was have another Maytag repairman out on Tues. the 10 ( he said ALL Service would get paid anyway by Maytag because they ordered the part and were assign the warranty repair )
ALL Service Customer Service is the worst , I called them myself, got some Hispanic Bi*ch who could care less and she repeated to me  "WE were to call them to say the part arrived "  and hung up on me !
My question was " Why didn't the overnight-ed part go to him rather than us, then he know it was in and better still if it was the correct part" !
Hell, I don't know what's the correct circuit board for a new Maytag Machine, besides its sealed in box ! with nothing but part #
and UPS Label . Not only that but the fricking UPS Driver did not even bother to drive back, but left it up at gate which was wide open.
If we had not happen to see him pull up , it would have been out there at the gate all night  

ASS HATs ...the whole lot of them ....     "rant over"

[The Trinity Kid]

*becomes thoughtful, but scraps idea of giving a wise remark*

At least our heater repairman was okay....he said it would take about two hours to fix, but due to difficulties with his equipment, it ended up taking six.  He was a nice guy though.

Glad ya' got through safe, Roo. 

We got home from Mt. Shasta just in time to set up for Bible study in our living room while mom made some chilli-mac.  We scarfed that and were finishing dinner just as the pastor pulled in the driveway.

Should have bought her a new ROCK down by the creek ! 

[Texas Lawdog]

The Cawffee is ready and the water is hot. We are really iced in and it is sleeting big time! I am glad that I am indoors and not outdoors working traffic accidents. Oatmeal and Toast for breakfast. I hope that everyone is warm and toasty.

[Texas Lawdog]

I just finished my first cup of Cawffee, and watching a replay of Round 1 of the NFR, and wishing that I was there in Vegas. I will be having a bad case of "cabin fever".

[Delmonico]

I would call Maytag myself and tell them i would never buy another one of their products and you are going to tell everyone you know the same.  When they give you they hire their work contracted, tell them you don't give a damn their lousy decision in who they hired cost you plenty.  And when you call, ask for the CEO and when they say they want to know why tell them you want to tell him what a lousy product he makes.  You won't get him, but who you get will most likely jump several levels right off. 

I doubt you are the first to have trouble and if they really cared they'd have been doing something about it already.

[Texas Lawdog]

It is 23 outside. All the major overpasses in the D/FW area are iced over and dangerous. Stay indoors if you do not need to be out. Moose is fixing waffles and bacon for breakfast. I need to get a fire started in the fireplace. Stay warm today, folks!

[Texas Lawdog]

The second pot of Cawffee is ready. The waffles were delicious, we had little smokies instead of bacon. We have about 2 inches of ice on everything.

[mestiza letty]

Mornin' gang,

Just got in from the trail...my doggies are tired...

'Roo glad you are safe an' sound. I guess you know there's a 'nother storm due in sometime tamarraw...oh joy

I just finished my first cup of Cawffee, and watching a replay of Round 1 of the NFR, and wishing that I was there in Vegas. I will be having a bad case of "cabin fever".

I know TLD I hafta work most nites & plan on mom tapin' it for me too

Horrid weather with the ice & hopefully you don't go anywhere's to slip on that stuff.

Major 2, I had my own rant when I got sold a bill 'o goods on a extended warranty pkg. on my Jeep...."out sourced S***y service that cost an arm an' a leg". $3500.00 for nuthin'. I got meaner than a snake when I found out.. Won't fall for that again, service ain't service anymore on ANYTHING a cryin' shame.
Do what Del says & howl like them mashed cats to the top o' the food chain !!
