and I need an old mouse. My new mouse works well with Windows 10 but when I put Windows 3.11 on the same computer the mouse goes so slow. When I tweak the settings to make it goes faster it still doesn't move right. Very difficult to use. Found an old Microsoft Mouse with the ball (not optical) plug it in and it works great.


But with the ball you have to clean the accumulated dirt off the ball and contacts occasionally, the same with an optical mouse it has to be cleaned. Some surfaces that you use the mouse on will cause it to move slowely, that why it is wise to use a mouse pad.

I recently bought my oldest son a new washer and dryer from Best Buy, it is a combo wifi unit that does both the washing and drying. The washer automatically remeasures the soap and fabric softener, once the wash is done it starts drying the cloths. The reason we bought him a new washer and dryer is that the dryer had quit working. They came with the house when he bought it last august and were at least 30 years old. He get get some use from them before they gave up the ghost.

The 2009 Swine flu fear was not the first time that came around, in the later part of the 70's the marine corps tried to give a swine flu shot to all the marines, some of us became conventialy (SP) unavailable until they quit giving the shot. The other thing that happened around the same time was that scientist were saying that bacon caused cancer and everyone should stop eating bacon, the marines said bring on the bacon the more the better. As I believe Regan said "check but verify" The news is one of the biggest outlets for inaccuracies when it comes to reporting, especially when it comes to aviation.

One of my pet peeves. Women wear clothes without pockets so they don't have a place to keep their phone or anything else with them. That's why they have to carry a purse. I would probably need a duffel bag or a backpack. I admit it's probably a guy thing to have pockets but I am addicted to them. I have standard items in at least 5 pockets. When I'm with my wife, she asks me to carry some stuff in my pockets, so I would really be more comfortable with 6-8 pockets. Every so often my wife will want me to buy a new shirt or pants that SHE likes. I have come across pants that were designed by women. The pockets are sized for women's hands and mine don't fit. The zipper is short. There are not enough belt loops. My specs for clothes are distinctly different from hers. I refuse those items.

Things I want to carry with me at all times: wallet, knife, keys, phone, glasses (not necessarily in order of importance).

PS: I gave up wearing a watch about 50 years ago. I was always smashing them in some way. I had a calculator that had the time on it (shirt pocket). That got replaced by the phone eventually, which had a calculator and the time in addition to the phone.

I feel undressed if I don't have a wrist watch and pocket knife. I actually wear my pocket knife on my belt and carry one in my pocket, each has its usefulness, one is a multi-tool and the other is a semi-multi tool. My watch is a citizen that has multi functions on and the current one can reset for DST automatically.

Man, these folks are spending a huge amount of money on ads! You can hardly watch TV without one of their ads coming up in just about every break and I get at least 20 to 30 e-mail ads a week as well. Now they have even re-branded the product to pull in male customers by calling it "Mando." Personally, I would rather stink than buy this product due to all the annoying ads! Just wondering if anyone else here is sick of hearing about it as well and needed to vent a bit. Good luck and good photography to all.

Many cars do have cameras all around the car that record everything. It's not readily available to the driver, except what is shown immediately on the information screen, but can be recovered in case of serious accident by the manufacturer.


My Subaru has a backup camera only, but I can install a front and rear aftermarket camera that records all around to a SIM card. Depending on make of camera it will lock the scene on the card and send it to your insurance company, google front/rear camera for more detailed information. My wife says I need one as I commute a long distance to work, but alas she has not turned loose of the money.

Or how quickly the lost exterior skin panel near a wheelwell on a United flight of a Boeing jet that flew from San Francisco to Medford, Oregon on Friday, March 15, will be added to the list of Boeing bashing?

That jet has been in service since 1998, operated by Continental into 2011, and by United since then, according to the early reports.
But hey, it's on a Boeing jet !!, must be more bad news of Boeing.

Reportedly, Boeing statement is they will defer comment on that to United.

That flight was scheduled for Denver and had to divert to Medford.

I recently had to return a pair of safety boots to Grainger in Ohio. I talked with their service rep who created a return label and I ordered the correct size. The rep told be they would be delivered on the 13th. I immediately took the return to the Fedex store and shipped it the same day. I tracked both shipments. My return sat in tracy ca from wed to sun, the shipment from Grainger sat in twin falls oh from wed to sun and was delivered on the 13th before the delivery schedule, the shipment to Grainger did not get delivered until the 15th. The shipment was by ground

Even in leather crafting where there are published patterns in the public domain one still has to watch about copyright infringement especially if they are selling their projects. If a pattern comes in a project I will try to change the pattern by incorporating something from another pattern or from my brain housing. I am constantly thinking about patterns and how they can be used. Photographs is another place that patterns can be created from. You can do this by taking only a portion of different photographs to create a carving pattern.

There is a saying, take care of the penny's and the dollars will take care of themselves.

I watch all of my penny's. I will even pick up a penny, someone else would leave on the ground.


I pick up pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, whatever I see on the ground. The most I will drive out of the way for cheap gas I will drive a mile. I try to preplan my gas stops ahead of time. Going back and forth to work I don't let my tank get below a half tank so I am filling up daily either on my way to work or on my way home at night.

...OR NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!!
Just spit-balling here, but.... the wheel falling off was not the fault of the builder (unless this was the first flight of that airplane which I highly doubt), what about the mechanic/inspection staff of the airline? I know if a wheel falls off my Jeep, that Chrysler is not to blame.

As to the door issue.... can't lay all the blame on Boeing unless, again, that was the first flight of that airplane. It was --and much better now --- known that some of the airplanes had door "plugs" installed so it should have been a part of the routine inspection to look. And, again, why the use of plugs? Does that mean the people on the plane have one less "emergency exit" because what was designed and expected to be a door, was covered over?

Boeing isn't innocent here, but the company's hiring practices have nothing to do with a front wheel falling off nor with a change in federal regs, airline company policy, changing loading/unloading procedures at airports, all playing a part in this.

Of course, mention DEI and a certain segment of our population responds to the dog whistle, even if they won't get a treat because they performed a trick.

As to the tire falling off it sound like a spacer was missed and the wheel was not properly torqued. On stretched aircraft such as the 737-9 max and 737-9ER plug doors are used to conserve weight and to fill the hole. An airline has to request a seating capacity of more then 193 before a full fledged emergency exit door is installed.

Some stations here in Central CA consider a debit card the same as cash and you get the cash price when you use the debit card. when you use the debit card they will ask if this is a credit or debit card, that is how they know to give the cash price.
