The Daily Yardman Thread

Today's estimate for the number of views by the end of the month is: 104,281.

This shows a daily average increase of 368 views over the past five days. It's hard to figure what that increase will be, day-to-day, as some days it is three times greater than on other days.

Hey Boo, whatcha think? We gonna make your magic 111,111 number?

PS. Either this computer or this website is having serious problems this morning. If I type fast (for me, that means about five four-letter words per minute) it can't keep up!!

Four-Foot T-8 LED replacement lamps

Doc,

These are what I was hoping to replace all my T-8 fluorescent lamps with.

https://www.lightup.com/4ft-t8.html

They run on straight 120 VAC, so no ballast is required, but at $8 a pop, I'm still looking at a couple hundred bucks to replace them all. As most fluorescent lamps and ballasts have a longer life than I will, I guess I'll spend the $200 on something more exciting. Like a trip down to Ron's to see porn on his home theater!

Speaking of which, did you guys note in the pictures that that Ron sent, that he actually has friends that help him with his building projects? What's that say about the rest of us? Slaving away all by ourselves.... Maybe I should be nicer to folks...

Oh! The 120 VAC direct wired ones are cheaper!

Now I'm down to $175.50

I luuuve the smell of fresh cut grass and burned 2cycle fuel along with the smell of hot coffee in the morning , ( LOL )
YES Goomba, by the magical mysterious forces of LMF ... I STILL forsee 111,111 as the magic number, course IF that became true I'd be considered as having "rigged" the outcome, ... sorta like the 2016 election !! Ha,Ha,Ha !!



My puter is an everyday battle royal, been doing a lot of research on my VISTA operating system, nothing seems to help, the private e-mail system is really bonkers, it will randomly delete several messages at once if I click to delete a single e-mail, and I dont know where they go ! posting here is a PITA, sometimes it garbles the post, or won't post it at all ... and now my cellphone is giving me a headache as well, I think it may be a dicked-up cell-tower,from the recent hurricane. gonna fight that for awhile also, then of course the dreaded ...HOLIDAYS are looming, wifey's daughter and grand-daughter are having some medical issues, seems like everything is coming un-glued since that storm !!! AHhhh the CHALLENGES ! Well enough whining, time for a fresh cup of "motion-lotion", (coffee)
later ya'll ........

That happens because some thing is tieing up the processors time.
Usually it is something trivial like a bad web page script trying to force your computer to play an advertisement.
However if it happens a lot it can also be malwear.
next time it happens, try to dissconnect from the web . If the problem goes away then it is a bad script or something searching through your computers hard drive.

The solution is a mac running linux, or if you are hopelessly hooked on the Evil Empire a mac running Windoze in emulation mode.

I agree with Mac running linux but as far as a mac running its own os not so much. They have hundreds of thousands of viruses made for them out there and no body running virus software because a mac can not get viruses. That is a joke. The phones are compromised all the time. The doctors i worked for and protected their medical records normally where attacked from their i-phones.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Going to the County Building Code dept. today to schedule the inspection for the
new shop electrical panel and service relocation from overhead to underground.
I am nervous anytime I have to interact with these government agencies.
They tend to blindside you with issues which should not really be issues.

Wish me luck!
