Today was not that day, I'm afraid.

Two more days of rain after today. Still cold through the weekend, but next week is supposed to be nice... hopefully.

Bummer... :(
Luck wasn't too good here either.
My car problem wasn't a bad flex pipe. That wasn't exhaust I was seeing, but just char marks and smoke coming up from oil burning off the outside that dripped from the engine leak I already knew I had. There was a piece in the back of the old pipe that needed to be welded on though.
Live test showed a dead O2 sensor. The one on the rear half that I'd never have been able to get to on my own with my equipment. Parts and labor for everything were cheap, considering, but a drive cycle afterward still hasn't gotten my monitor to check out OK. The mechanic doesn't believe that I have a problem with my Catalytic Converter at all, but who knows what's up at this point.
It's still so cold around here I think I'm just wasting gas driving around without a purpose, so it won't be getting any more real road time until Sunday when I go to install the new wall A/C unit at my aunt's new apartment when it's finally going to be 60 degrees. Warm week next week, so if that doesn't do it I just might have to fill up the tank and spend an entire day driving around for no reason.
And just like two years ago, the idiots are making me drive 100 times more to try to clear this stupid code than I would have with normal driving. So much for the atmosphere.

After watching this video, I remember thinking how dumb the reason I thought water towers existed was, and how childlike a mentality you'd have to have about them to even reason out that this was what their purpose was.
We know dude. You're amazing.
I already answered your question somewhere in here when I was talking to Sigs.
I wouldn't have answered it with your shitty tone though.

It happens. First hand I had 5 doubles on it which is how I started out with over 1,00points but after that I just couldn't get anything going. I managed to go out but I had to take a run or a "chow" which is 3 tiles with consecutive numbers on them like "1,2,3" and then my pair. Finished up with over 2,000 points but not enough to get anything.
Bummer that you still can't get your car right. What I know about cars you can fit on the head of a pin.
At least you will be dry next week. Suppose to be semi-dry here tomorrow then back to rain for the weekend and into next week. We've had such a soggy Spring up here it is not funny. Got another trough of cold area sitting over most of BC and going into Alberta and the rest of the prairies. Not fun.

Yeah, SIX, what's with that "driving cycle"? It seems you have to drive a certain number of miles, I guess under varying conditions (freeway speed, tooling around etc) and it sets some sort of flag. Which gets reset when the battery dies or is disconnected. Clearly it's connected to an onboard computer. Which, I guess, all cars (even old ones) with pollution control equipment have. (I didn't realize until I had the same problem with my old car that onboard computers went back that far.)
Do you have more info than that? Like - what else might re-set that flag? What, exactly, constitutes a "driving cycle"?
Sigh.
I feel for you and your car issues. Wish I could help!

Five more days of radiation therapy. Only four, after today. Last one next Thursday and I will be done, done, done with that. Woo hoo!
Saw the nephrologist, and was I NOT impressed! I got more info and advice from my internist and a nutritionist! I waited a long time and he hadn't even read my chart. I had to relay everything that THEY told me past him, PLUS my recent history. And he seemed very inexperienced. No closer to finding out what went wrong and how to make it better/ not make it worse except avoid NSAIDS (which is going to be painful, literally, seeing as I have a pain syndrome.)
And poor hubby. He had a trigger point injection into his pirifomis muscle and it helped ... for a week. Now he's in excruciating pain, again. They have not found the other cause(s) of his nerve pain yet. I hope the MRI tells them something useful and that they have a permanent fix, bc right now he can't walk 20 ft w/o pain that feels worse than his broken collarbone did.
Oh, well. Onward thru the fog!

Oh BTW BRENDA, I think you're right! In looking thru the inet for other Shetland compilations, I ran across a few interviews that mention a Season 7. Supposedly due out later this year. Looking forward to that!
