The DSL modem for a while here how has been re-booting itself all day on numerous occasions. We need to upgrade soon to the fidium anyway, plus they keep jacking the price saying DSL is older technology and costly to maintain.

Coincidentally, I just purchased a "Whirlpool" washer/dryer combo the other night. Was hoping to use my Best Buy card, but the Insignia brand is an unknown to me as far as appliances go, so I applied online for a Lowes card and checked out all within an hour – I knew what I wanted.

Those automatic ice dispensers frequently go on the fritz around here. Residential but mostly commercial that I'm aware of. I know this because I'm always taking a drink with me on hot days and request free ice when I gas-up. The last place the other day had a big ice bin right next to the busted ice dispenser.

Even though most cars these days do have a lot of integrated electronics, much of the work I do still ends up being mechanical in nature. My biggest gripe would be purchasing used cars that have petrified nuts and bolts from being on salty Maine roads or maybe in close proximity to the ocean much of the time. This Volvo I have now has been the easiest one to work on so far, but also one of the more expensive with slightly less mileage.


And "$89.00" does seem like a bit much for YouTube, and it's mostly all I watch around here as they continually keep jacking their ad time into infinity – they're really pushing hard for those paid subscriptions.

The $89 was a guess as my wife pays the bills. For what we get it isn't alot. DIRECT TV was a huge ripoff. Only had it because of NFL Sunday Ticket.
