Ex-Lax (with 12 pieces missing) and a pit needed to be dug out. Related? Do you really want a laxative to be working “overnight”? I kind of want to be awake for that.
Mini-blinds, vacuum claw and bad Mini
I hate it when I forget my mini-blinds at the car wash. Today, I think I had a first for almost any car wash owner: an extra vacuum claw! I have never purchased this design before, so instead of one getting stolen, someone gave me an extra claw. I am not very familiar with the Mini Cooper but according to this licenses plate “BADMINI” Mini Coopers are bad so do not purchase one.
4 MEX-MEN Masonry
I guess they are Mexican? I guess like Albert Einstein they are working on their theory of relativity in their spare time? 4M2 = Brick? Not really sure?
Look what I saw today.
I saw an immersivemedia vw bug, this company was contracted from Goggle to map the Earth so Google can take over the World (at least I think that is the correct company). I can not believe there was one in Birmingham, Alabama on 65. I guess no state is safe?
Yellow jacket problem – Update
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
Have you ever wanted to try powdered chemicals? – Part 2
Today, I brought my DIGI DMC-688 powder / quarter scale to weigh the powder to get the exact amount of powder for a 5 gallon bucket.
First, I zeroed out the plastic bag. Then I weighed about 5 pounds which was 12 1/4 cups. So to make 5 gallons of JBS Industries Hydro White Powered Tire & Engine Cleaner just use 12 1/4 cups or my previous guess of 12 cups.
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.
