I still have it.
It happened when my place in NY got robbed. When I moved back to PA they wouldn't forward a replacement so they had to put the PA address on it.
Because all my documentation was stolen it took a long time to get it all back.

freaking job blows sometimes.

the full=time overnight cashier is on a power trip again. basically telling me to do what I already do. but he thinks I don't do. oh well....from what I heard, he was supposed to be fired because of his attitude a while ago. as the guy telling me put it, he "cried Puerto Rican" to keep his job. as for the...

can anyone tell me if there is a place out there where I can get the needed bolts for my headlights? really, that's all I need.

see, the old ones corroded to the point where the heads of the bolts snapped off.

anyone? thanks!

and I don't know of any junk yards in my area to check out, so that is out of the question...

I could give you directions to a place that i know of....but i think Tunnels outstanding research will suffice.

driveway is cleared now....the snow blower needed a new spark plug. my step-father figured that running the same spark plug for 10+ years, and every so often filing it down to get rid of the carbon build-up may have led to the spark plug no longer being useful. you think?

the snow itself is kind of cool.....it has an aqua-blue tinge to it. from all...

They keep trying to claim the entire tank, and killing other fish ... so I moved them to annother tank so they can breed. The baby fish will be food for the other fish. biggrin

heavy, wet snow, and quite a bit of it.

and the POS used snow blower my step-father insists works fine won't start.

fuck that....guess I'm not driving anywhere today!
aepaul:
Heavy wet rain here.
My wife's work lost power.

Good luck with your broken snow blower. I love it when people give me broken things and insist they work.

You can use mine. I have absolutely no use for the damned thing tongue

Ya I was getting tired looking at all the dirty snow too!

I figure I'll wake NeNe up with text messages of pictures....and yes, some girls find the 6 to 10 inches wide as impressive...while others are afraid...no idea why! wink

blog-o-rama....

so my leg is about 95% healed I think. the biggest test will be running. with a pulled muscle in the hip joint area, I think that will be the final test. I can tie my shoes normally now and put socks on without doing an audition for Cirque De Sole (or whatever its called), so that's good.

my sister is now on facebook...my...

Per question to Al: any good hardware store should
have a selection of nuts and bolts. If not ask them if the is a
fastener supplier in the area.
Fairfield was a nice Long Island Sound community when my folks
would visit friends with a beach-house there in the '50's & '60's.
If like Bridgeport last two summers, going Latino.
Best of luck.

Best of luck with the potential job....you deserve a permanent shot at a school that will appreciate you and it sounds like this is a good start

so did a little digging (and referencing a pdf file I downloaded a while ago that is basically a parts manual for my car)...I need to find the following 2 bolts...

hex flange head m6 x 1.00 x 193.25

Yeah you can probably get them at the dealership but like Tunnel says try home depot or lowes. What about a trying a wreckers? I am sure you could get them there for next to nothing.

tonight is my fourth night in a row of working the overnight shift. the other person called in sick on Saturday. one person said she would do it...sure, except Saturday nights is when the overnight cashier puts together the newspapers, and she has no clue on how to do it.

so got to order as well. did a little re-stocking, figured out what we were...

A 9 foot back-blade! If thats impressive the pic I should have gotten was using the log truck arm to trim the limbs the bucket wouldn't reach

Cheap junk yard part. They are common, new ones are not too expensive. Make sure to get the whole assembly, Used headlight adjusters are a pain. Before you remove the old ones out, pull up to a wall and chalk where the LOW beams hit in correlation with the car. Headlights require adjustment, it will make life easier installing the new ones. If they have levels disregard them they are too confusing.
Or most body shops have a machine to adjust them. That's what those little bumps are for. wink

so my leg is almost healed. the tough part now is getting back what I lost. seriously, in about a week, I seem to have lost some flexibility in my leg. so I'll be working on getting it back in shape and on par with my other leg soon. now, I get a dull ache, but nothing like I had. I will know its 100%...

I am glad to hear that your leg is doing better.

That's always frustrating screwing up your sleeping pattern. It takes me almost a week to recover.

I'm working graveyards just for this week and next week it's going to suck going back to morning shift.
