    I've never seen one with a battery installed G - most likely due to the customer never replacing the battery / battery leakage -> yet another service call..
    Nice fix, BTW. :yes:

    got a new XFinity DVR a couple months back. they said it was free and they would send it to us. they don't say that if you dont return the old one they charge you $10 a month so it can sit on the floor. fat chance, I made them credit it back!

    anyway, recorded GI Jane the other day (Demi :drool:) and the stupid DVR ended with 30 minutes to go in the movie!:headbang::hair: that's like s$x without a happy ending!:smoke::smoke:

    so last night after grandson Landon left, I started an NCIS recording...... it lasted 8 minutes and ended!:headbang::hair:

    gotta take the stipid thing back............

    After Saturday morning pellets, I had a small engine project to do. Install the crankshaft in this!

    crankshaft reinstallation.jpg bearings installed.jpg

    All went well Sunday morning. Had a crew of 4 to bed the mains in and install the rod boxes. All babbit bearings, but fortunately in excellent shape! Next weekend we'll install the centerframe and the 4 cylinders (which are already loaded)

    beer cans are for Will711 :D

    Today I'm ordering a new 383 stroker motor for my truck rebuild. We wanted a bit more motor to tow a camping trailer. When I'm done with this project in a couple of months, Ill have an essentially new truck for under 10K. Far cry from the cost of a new GMC 2500.

    It sounds like the time is off. Check the clock and time zone settings.

    Thanks CF-she was thrilled to actually have wifi working at the house the way it was suppose to.

    Hmmm, my modem from Metrocast has a battery in it and when the tech replaced the modem he transferred the battery. Must be a Comcast thing but that also means you lose your phone in an outage. If I recall, Metrocast advertises that the modem will stay active for phone during short power outages which mean that they have to provide the battery.

    And you know, I never thought of it to be my responsibility to change the battery. Figured it was part of Metrocast responsibility. Guess I need to check on that as well.

    OK, Just thought I'd let ya know that I'm still chuggin.........

    Good news is I Fired my neuro nut today. She didn't give a dam about me or my issues. But had a shocked look on her face when I said her services would no longer be needed. Off to another, But gonna take some weeks to get in. My appointment is March 26th. I am on the cancellation list if someone else drops an appointment.

    Now to replace my PCP who has also be about worthless besides collecting the fees.............

    Hope I can make it to work tomorrow. Freakin head hurts and hate this wobblyness chit. All outta drugs the ER doc gave me. So its grin and suffer till I can see the next neuro-nut. Boostin up the vitimans(Magnesium-zinc-B12 and D3) will be my only relief for a while.

    Somewhat back on the air stupid update system deleted most of my world using the alternate system install to get back together most of my multimedia playing has gone out the window with the latest release, lots of third party crap was in the process when I must have mistyped things.

    All of our emta's all have battery backup in them. I'm not sure the run time as they're just a small battery pack built into them.
