    So I work with a fellow here in Maine that was "born with a silver spoon".
    He told me that I needed to replace some hardware on my mower. He said he would do it with new nylock nuts. He made the supposed repair. Charged me a fee for the job. Yes I did pay him.
    The last time I did the job the mower stayed together for 8 lawns.
    His repair it fell apart in 2.5 lawns and he tells me he is tired of my not being able to finish what I start.
    I had to hire a local kid to help me. Two nyloc nuts. (when nylocs get old the insert fades from purple to white)
    New is on the left, what came off is on the right.
    Oh and he is telling me that I swapped the repair and he wants me to come work with him for more of his impolite words.

    I have asked him. Does he work for customers that he knowingly just got screwed by? No he doesnt want to give a refund.

    That's some interesting timing there. received an email that the FMCSA is updating security in the clearing house sight and will require latest operating system to use it. They mention windows 10, and update your smart phone. No mention of Ubuntu or others.......

    Unfortunately I do remember Windows coming out. I ran CPM and switched over to DOS on a new machine. From the time it came out Windows has never been good. The only worse choice was most everything else.

    This one came up on the USB stick the other day and thought of you.....

    The fry oil is flying off my trailer into the manufacturing facility as we speak.

    The mini-donut supply is safe.
    Both packets and bulk bags.

    You're welcome.

    God Bless America.

    Outside of people who wrote programming how many even remember that command prompts? I still use them occasionally, but it takes a little more time to do that thinkamacating.

    Config.sys and autoexec.bat
    Oh the joys of having to tell windows where to find programs
    Path=C:\, C:\windows and so on. Lets not forget having to tell autoexec the Sound Blaster address.

    Ipconfig so you can use ICQ to talk to your friends or play a game online back around Command and Conquer Era
    sfc / scannow to repair files after an update.

    Oh the good ol days.
