I hate Canon Service Department and Waymon Scott!

Disclaimer:  I understand that the camera looks damaged but I had no idea that the Canon Camera Nazis made you take care of your camera.  Why can I not leave it in my pocket?  All it has is cosmetic problems (it has had all the scratches and dents for about 3-4 months).  Well the big problem is the camera will only work for about 30 seconds with freshly charged batteries.  This was Canon’s response:

LARGE DENT ON FRONT COVER LOGO. SEVERAL DENTS ON LENS.UNIT WILL NOT POWER ON. NO DISPLAY ON LCD. SCUFFS/SCRATCHES.CHECK ALL FUNCTIONS, REPAIR TO GOOD WORKING ORDER. FLAT RATE REPAIR MODEL, PARTS AND LABOR INCLUDED IN PRICE

My problem: They want to fix problems that do not affect the functionality of the camera and that I do not want fixed and charge me.  If I do not care that I can not see through the display, why should they care?

The first thing my friend Waymon Scott (a supervisor?) did was give me 20% off.  But I just wondered why they have to fix something not broken?  He threatened to hang up on me and eventually he did.  What an ass.  (Canon PowerShot SD630)

Some little problems

First picture, someone stole one of my OPEN signs.  Number 2, paint on concrete, nice!  Number 3, just some household garbage that a dog got into.  Number 4, someone was shooting up again (it is an “insulin only” needle so that settles it).

How to kill yellow jackets? Part 7

Okay, I think I am going to try Greg’s method of killing yellow jackets.

Directions to combine all the ingredients using a microwave.  1) Find a crappy microwave on one of your vacuum islands.  2) Cut a microwave ready Poweraid container.  3) Add sugar.  4) Add boric acid.  5) Add some Mountain Dew.  6) Then stir.

It took around 4 minutes to combine and make the liquid.  This Mountain Dew mix seems to work well.  A yellow jacket flew over and got some then started to act weird (rolling around) then flew away.

Yellow jacket problem again

Someone dumped their garbage and a dog got into the bag.  The garbage included two bags of sugar.  Great.  I did try out some Ortho Max Flying Insect Killer which worked really well on killing yellow jackets.

Someone vacuumed up a lot of screws also.
