At 2400 baud and then someone picks up the phone

We could whistle into a phone and get a modem to try to talk to us.

I thought we were the Oregon Trail generation. (‘81)

I bought a Brother printer and an extra large toner cartridge a dozen years ago and it just sits there and prints things without any problems from any device on my WiFi.

So invent a time machine and get a Brother from ten years ago is my advice.

It’s not Thursday….

Asking women out is kind of necessary to the process, even if she says no.

The traits that allow a species to achieve global dominance are not compatible with long term survival.

Trump has already been impeached twice. What else could they do except attempt to remove him from power, and with what army?

The fact that it ran on a Macintosh meant I could play it on the school computers during study hall.

No idea. I never liked Doom or Wolfenstein because it was just mindless violence, which gets old quick.

But Marathon had a universe and a story and characters and puzzles AND mindless violence.

Maybe they just let the marketing folks determine what was popular and mimicked that.

Don’t forget the old chestnut “protecting American interests”

I have a CBFA engine and not a CCTA one so I have to wait for a turbo again.

Also I stripped the mounting bolt. Icon tools are no joke.

Good news is I have oil and coolant in my hair and it’s still $2,000 cheaper than what my mechanic quoted.

Update: Got a new turbo. Put the new turbo in. Still no boost. Checked my work and connected the charge pipe. Still no boost. Also an oil leak.

At the mechanic now to check if the cats are clogged and limiting exhaust flow

Got them at Costco because I’m dull.

But on the way home my car went into limp mode with a check engine light and a computer error light.

Called Costco and they said “we just did the tires” but when I reset the system by disconnecting the battery the traction control, power steering, and tire pressure lights came on.

And it’s still in limp mode.

Taking her to my guy later today.

Thanks Costco.

ETA: Turns out my coil packs and spark plugs went bad, it was just a coincidence that it happened after the tires.

ETA II: My guy said the spark plugs were all the wrong kind.

 

I guess I’m officially old now
