G8chick Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Ya! My car also wouldn't start. I plugged it in again but in the house to make sure it was working, and had to put a charger on my battery. Started finally after 4 hrs of screwing around. So I went and bought a new 100ft cord. Now waiting for diesels canine therapist to come over so he can get massage and new exercises hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Got all the waterlines tied in and, no leaks. Also got the electrical tied into the panel. Was thankful that I was indoors, instead of outside in the dumper of a snowstorm we are getting right now. Christmas volume and snowstorms don't mix well.

07RS4 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 No problem bud. Don't get me wrong, it actually snowed a little but this morning! But, it hit 40 and my wife said..."What, no car washing today?"...5 minutes later I was outside, haha. MAYBEN and Captain Slow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Gassed up the G8 and noticed the winter blend is in full effect, 15.9 MPG, sheeeesh! Watched it snow, visited with mom and younger brother, de-strung all fishing reels then broke down and put away fishing rods in their storage tubes and reels in the BIG BOX OF REELS. After that I discovered that I hate Windows 8 almost as much as I hate iTunes...or is it the other way around???

I know what you mean Paul. I was at my parents doing some tech support over the weekend and my dad has W 8 on his all-in-one - AND I HATE IT!!! If I wanted a tablet I would have bought a tablet, but I bought a desktop, and I want it to work like a desktop. Captain Slow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes about 8" from noon yesterday, went to the Depot then came home and cleared the snow off my car, was about 7", blew it off with the leaf blower haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Went shopping with the wife. Went to the local coin-op and plugged it full of quarters. Then come home and parked in the garage to dry. Outside was 14 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I put air in the booboo van tires and brought in the frozen Detail Spray to thaw. I'll have to make a little carrying bag for it and the junky MF towels I use for bird bombs and salty headlights. MAYBEN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Well the Detail Spray above died after a summer - fall - winter cycle of sitting in the door wrapped in an old single soft towel. After it thawed it would not mix back together though it still smelled great. I emptied the bottle, cleaned it out and refilled it. The vehicles are filthy after this week's snowstorms and it looks like more snow midweek and then next weekend. Sigh. I drove the G8 to the office this morning in 4-5" of fresh unplowed snow. I had no issue at all on my almost 5 year old bald*** Goodyear RSAs. Once in the parking lot I did a few donuts on one end of the parking lot then more donuts on the end I always park in.

tuckdaddy Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hadn't been on here in what seems like forever but ticked 24k in the FR-S today. She's holding up to my abuse like a champ. Planning on washing it tomorrow sometime, such crappy weather this past week here in San Antonio/New Braunfels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feets31 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Shoveled about 7 inches of snow from the driveway and they street in front of the drive(makes it easier once the plow goes though. Going to have to get a snow blower one of these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Holiday rush working ya uh? Be safe out there. Did 300 myself yesterday and gave away another 200 (not a typo) to someone else that was brought in from out of state to help with the chaos. These were all scheduled in my regular area. And ran out of hours for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
