Popular Post 12string Posted October 21, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted October 21, 2019 I'll try to include emotional reactions, but I'm not a real emotional guy. Friday I left work early (this made me feel OK) So we could drive to Norwalk CT. There was a restaurant next to the hotel that was a pleasant surprise (I felt pleasantly surprised). The cheap hotel was better than expected, which made me feel satisfied. Saturday started with the information that the free breakfast cost $12.99. This made me feel hungry still. I got cut off on the highway, but fortunately there was a driveway to dive into, so I did. This made the drivers in the exit lane of the Starbucks driveway feel terrified. But we were able to get coffee and breakfast food. We arrived at the car dealership in time to see our car driven onto the floor for delivery. I knew this was the last one in the country in these colors, but then found out it was about to be shipped to LA when I called, so they kept it for me. This made me feel successful . They knew we were in a hurry, so a real quick lesson, signing, my wife got to drive it out of the showroom. This made her feel ecstatic. Traffic was horrible, but the weather was glorious so a 200+ mile trip with the top down made me feel good. And we got home with 5 minutes to spare. Then we had friends over to drink beer and watch the Flyers lose to Dallas, which made me feel extremely angry, frustrated, let down, and anxious. Sunday was the day to clean the blower on the boiler to maybe stop the infrequent error codes. Too late, the error code was constant and we had no heat or hot water. This made me feel chilly. The manufacturer has agreed to replace the entire unit soon so I did not want to spend money fixing it. The Blower is $400. But since the problem was no voltage from the control board, the $300 price for that made me feel less disturbed. But a quick inspection showed some delamination, a quick solder joint reflow of the nearby transistor - fixed! This made me feel better about having spent too much on the car yesterday. On to hockey, we won easily, this made me feel like a winner. Listening to the Eagles game on the way home made me feel happy I was driving a nice new car with many other radio stations. The end. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we brought it home, I've only seen it in the rain or dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
