Wish you could send some of that rain down here, without the flooding though.

Hi Jase, More megapixles is only good if you want to enlarge any photo's bigger than A4, so your better off with a good tele lens.

What a Sunday. Mid afternoon the apartment office called saying that my right left tire was flat on my car. Went down and sure enough flat as a pancake. Got the spare out , the jack and the lug nut remover. Managed to get the first 3 loosened. The last two were another story. Pulled my back out trying to get them. Called for assistance $70.00 later spare tire on car. Since Monday is a holiday here not places open. So first thing Tuesday looks like I will need 2 new tires for the rear of the car.

Hi all, what a goose i am, went to a rehab appointment-dole office requirement, goes to the counter to register as attended............cant find my name, Idiot me was a day too early, but luckily the case handler was able to see me anyway, saving me a 2nd trip back there, so it all worked fine in the end!!!!

Better than being a day late.....One of my former bosses went to the airport to catch a flight only to find he was 18 hours too early for the the flight. Talk about advance check in[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

<DIV>If it is every really tight, step on the wheel brace with your foot. Providing you are turning in the right direction, you wont snap the stud.</DIV>

John they were too tight pulled my back out trying to loosen them. They just would not budgeat all. Tried that and did not happen.
