Hi
I went walking this Morning for 150 minutes. The temperature this morning was 74 on the news channel and 72 degrees on the front porch and back yard thermometer, It is still somewhat humid outside, However The humidity and Temperature are forecast to be better later today into the weekend as a cold front moves through the area.
Why the long time walking, I went for a Haircut and since I was early I stopped for two scrambled eggs, two slices of Whole Wheat toast and had a few of the really crispy home fries
Have a Great Thursday

Hi
I was out doing some walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 65 degrees on the porch and 66 degrees on the cable channel.
A Joke
As most Silver Surfers know – and the rest will soon discover – sometimes we have trouble with our computers.
I had a problem yesterday, so I called Danny, the 12 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over. Danny clicked a couple of keys and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, ‘So, what was wrong?’
He replied, ‘It was just a simple ‘ID ten T’.’
I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless enquired.
‘An “ID ten T”??? What’s that? In case I ever need to fix it again.’
Danny grinned wide…. ‘Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?’
‘No,’ I replied.
‘Write it down,’ he said, ‘and I think you’ll figure it out.’
So I wrote down:
ID10T
I used to like Danny, the little *kitten*.

[bFord 5.0 Air Filter (Performance) Question[/b]
Started by Mummichog, Wednesday at 03:37 PM
My 2011 Ford F-150 (Coyote 5.0) V8 was running erratically. When giving it half throttle, the power would surge and bog, along with the sound changing. Since I just changed the plugs and wires, I figured it was the air filter. I took it out and drove it the 3 or 4 miles to the auto-zone. Still seemed to bog and surge, same performance. But, when I put the new filter in, it ran smooth as silk. If it was a dirty air filter, wouldn't no filter make it smoother too?
Who Knew that the Air FIter could cause that problem?

Hi
I was out doing some walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 63 degrees on the porch and 62 degrees on the cable channel.
We must have had some rain overnight, the streets were wet and I got hit by a few stray drops. By the time I returned home the streets are now dry
The Plumber is scheduled for 10AM to Noon today to clear the clogged Kitchen / Bathtub drain. All the other drains are OK. As I remember it they both feed a 1.5" to 2" pipe by the back wall of the basement before running to the main drain. Wish Us luck with the cost, I have visions of $$$ flying away

Paranormal Night at the Van Horne
Sunday, October 22nd at 7pm 20.00/person
Is the Van Horne House Haunted?
Join the Heritage Trail and the New Jersey Paranormal Investigators "NJPI" for a night of revealing what NJPI has discovered from two investigations at the Van Horne House. There are a couple of stories of incidents in the house, but will the spirits cooperate with the investigators and reveal themselves? After hearing the results, if anything conclusive, we will break into groups and do our own hunting with their equipment. If you have your own equipment and want to use it, bring it along. Space is limited to 60 people
I'm tempted, OTOH $20, Am I that tempted ?

I pulled the Hoodie out of the closet today and I plugged the batteries back into the heated gloves. one ran out 1/2 way through the walk and the other at about 80% of the walk
I turned one the heat to test today and since the Main floor was at 62 degrees.

I was out doing some walking this Morning + 3 cents. The temperature this morning was 42 degrees on the porch and 45 degrees on the cable channel.
While I was walking I noticed two deer heading across the street until they saw me on the side they were headed for. At that point they stopped in the middle of the street which stopped a car that had just turned onto the street until they reversed direction and headed back the way they had come
