Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[highfigh]

Let's be honest, every generation sucks in one way or another. It's just WAY more obvious with hers because of technology. Gone are the days of parents telling their kids to be home by 9 having no clue or way to find out what their kid is doing and where they're doing it.

That was one thing I found funny when watching Stranger Things. The parents had no clue what was going on...then I realized mine didn't either...

She was just saying that the music her generation makes sucks when compared to what her dad likes, which is all over the map, since he's a keyboard player and has played in many bands.

OTOH, the kids can leave their phone somewhere, go somewhere else to get in trouble and retrieve the phone later.

Ward Cleaver would have a hard time being a parent, these days.

The hardest part of such venture is typically the last mile problem, which was already taken care for them, by a consortium of local energy companies which lay dark fiber along power lines.

That’s crappy. I’m getting A/C installed hopefully this weekend if the weather cooperates. So I can definitely sympathize with the cost involved with that.

Hope everything is going good for you too.

I'm also wondering where Alex is...Really like that dude.

Just had the A/C part of mine done a few weeks ago. Furnaces part was done at the tail end of 2015 and I had the A/C coils installed at that time. I couldn't afford the compressors outside at the time because I needed $4000 worth of electrical upgrades to be able to hook up A/C.

So far only one day of trying it and it wasn't particularly hot, just really humid. Man, what a joy! Totally worth the expense, as long as it lasts at least 10 years.

Our old system was the one that came with the house, so it lasted approximately 16 years. I hope this one lasts as long. We couldn’t afford getting a nice variable system so we stuck with single stage. We should still see a significant difference in our utility bills however. Went from 10 SEER to 16 SEER

 

[KenM10759]

In New England, the HVAC regs are different. We don't get the heat you do for the lengths of time you do so mine are 13.7 SEER. My contractor pointed out that in areas of the south they (manufacturers) can't sell anything below 16 SEER and in some areas, 17. My units have a label on the them that they're illegal to be sold in several states in the south. Ours are a little cheaper. I have Bryant, a division of Carrier. I wish I could have got Trane, but just out of my budget.

 

[its phillip]

I’m not sure what the minimum requirements are here but I did receive quotes for systems ranging from 14 SEER up to 20. We got an American Standard system which is the same thing as Trane as far as I know. Old one was a Carrier. All of the quotes I got were for American Standard or Lennox. That wasn’t by my choice or anything though.

You're out of touch with today's kids!
That will NEVER happen!!!
Well...unless they get "burner phones" to take with them!

I'll have you know that I'm very in touch with the younger element!

Finally moving out of a condo into a house so can enjoy home theater again. It’s been years.

Home is old but going to live in it for a while until I knock it down. Hoping to custom build a home in the next 4-5 years on the land so between having a place to play with some of my old gear and a upcoming project it’s time to catch up on the lastest home theater stuff

May as well go make Wednesday happen .... pfff.

 

[fuzz092888]

You know what really grinds my gears? People don't know how to haggle, horse trade, you know negotiate. Where selling or apparently buying, putting OBO on an item means you get one offer to be either accepted or rejected. No counteroffers, no nothing. Makes the whole process boring and laborious.

I wonder if Alex is still working on Wednesday.

Not yet. Got a clean bill of dental health but in celebration, some sugar based goodness came home with the fat pork chops. I left my phone out in the truck but I'm already down to my panties so SWMBO is gonna be testy about not being able to reach me but fat pork chops at 6:20 should make up for it. Roller coaster ... of love.
