hatethosebruins Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I went to the bank today,,,and standing in front of me in the line, there was a young woman dressed like if I was her father, she would have gotten a slap upside the head. Anyway,,,she was texting. I hate texters, if you want to carry on a conversation, call the person. I was very tempted to take out my cell-phone and pretend I was texting, and say out loud,,"I am standing in line" ,,,,,then "I am moving ahead",,,,,,,then, "line sure is slow" etc. I text but thats more so because I tend to talk louder when im on the phone and I dont want to be a nuisance to those around me, as well I dont have people listening to half my conversation just my views on texting vs calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't text,,,,,but I do have a cell-phone. I might use it twice a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-1 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 A while ago I posted a Q in the questions, comments and concerns thread about posting my own video. I wanted to know how I could do it. Well, GHC said that I should open a YouTube account, upload the vid, and post the link in the "Interesting Videos" thread. So,,,I am doing that as we speak. I started to upload it to youTube, about 1 hour ago , and right now, it is 58% done. It says I still have 1 more hour left, ,,,,total size,,,237 MBs. for 2 mins. and 9 seconds.

beaubie Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just did a speed test,,,,download 7.52 Mbps,,,upload,,.26 mbps,,,,with 18 ms ping,(whatever that is ) It just finished. I once tried uploading the video I made of my camping trip last year on to youtube and it took a very, very long time. I'm sure it was over 3 hours. When it finally finished I got a message saying it twas too long . You think they could have told me that in the beginning. I was pretty ticked.

Is that .26 mbps? That would be it. 1mbps is less than 1mb(ISP's offer megabit, which is less than megabyte). Surprised it didn't take much longer.

Kinda makes you wonder about those vids that are like 15-20 mins. long. Is that .26 mbps? That would be it. 1mbps is less than 1mb(ISP's offer megabit, which is less than megabyte). Surprised it didn't take much longer. 2 hours for 2:11 mins. ,,,,of course I was still using the pc. ,,,,,maybe that had something to do with it.

Guest archey Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 threw some grain out on the ground for sarge and pretty soon a couple birds showed up to snack. they're like about a foot away. i'm watching them regurgitate. of course sarge turns around to go after a bit and the birds don't move. i get up to follow the horse and the birds fly away. now i never thought i was st francis of assisi but i wish i was more peaceful. i mean there is probably another world out there i don't know.

kinot-1 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 7 years ago, my Ex and I spent the winter in Yuma, Arizona. We had a 32' 5th wheel pulled by a 1 ton F350, with all the goodies. While there, we learned that you got up in the morning and put on a jogging suit, about noon, change into shorts and tank top, and about 5,,,back to the jogging suit. We got to know some nice people from from Sacramento Cal, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Calgary, Alberta. Every day we had "Happy Hour" ,,,where one couple would host (with snackies) and the others would bring their refreshments, and just gab. Now,,,,one day in Jan., we all decided to go to Los Algodones, Mexico (about 25 mins. away). We all went, but we separated. My ex had my passport and keys, and I had my wallet with about $40 US, and drivers lic. credit card, (the truck ownership with the ins. was in the truck) etc. Eventually, I found my wallet missing . I met up with the ex, and decided to ask the local police ,,,"no habla English", we went to the places where I had been,and ask them if they had seen my wallet,,,"no Senior" . OK,,,now what? Back to the trailer park and tell my new friends. They give me what advice they could, but, really didn't know what to suggest. I call the DMV,, health ins., cancel the credit card, phone my bank re the debit card , etc. to let them know I had lost my wallet. The Ont. DMV wanted a police report , OK,,,,where would I file one? That would be in El Centro, California, about 1:20 mins. (California being on the border with Los Algodones, Mex) from Yuma. . The California Highway Patrol. OK,,,drive there,,,fill out said report. Looking good no?, Wrong,,,"come back in 3 days and we will have it for you". meanwhile our youngest daughter (who has Power of Attorney), is doing everything she can to get my cards to me. . Meanwhile, I am driving around with no drivers license. Did I mention that it takes 10 days to 2 weeks for snail mail to get to Yuma? OK,,, drive BACK to El Centro, Cal, get the report, and mail it UPS. Well, the DMV doesn't sent stuff by UPS, just regular mail,,,,so the waiting game begins. Eventually, I get my drivers license , but the other stuff has to wait until we get home in Apr. . Thankfully, my credit card/debit card wasn't used. More to come later.

Most of the horses I see, are in the pasture, and they're ok with me riding by with my loud pipes . Now, if they are on the road, instead of the pasture where they belong,,,,,,different story. Farmers,,,,they just don't get it. Kinot I woulda parked my MC right infront of that guys car horizontally so he couldn't get out That was discussed in the thread, but was rejected because of the possible damage to the bike. One guy even had cards printed up that said " You Park Like An Idiot" and he places them under the wiper blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had thoughts of keeping a roll of duct-tape and magic marker in my car and whenever I see a car parked like that, I would write "YOU PARK LIKE AN IDIOT" on the tape and put it across his windshield. ,,,,,orrrrrrrrrr,,,,,,just write it on the back window.
