Ha ha, more problems. It was right at 6 weeks ago when I buyed a brand spank'n new propane tank an' fill it up with 28 gallons of propane. It's [this] close to empty. Ok, where the hell did all my propane go to? I've used the Mr Heater when it got really cold, but not enough to burn up 28 gallons of propane. The water heater has been "on" all this time....while I was work'n on it. If there was a propane leak, somebody would have smelled it. I've kind of sorta calculated useage an' I don't come nowheres close to 28 gallons. The Mr Heater close to 10 or 12 gallons an' the water heater maybe 2 gallons. Will be check'n for leaks again after the installation of new piping for the Mr Heater move.
Then to top that off, my freak'n coffee pot gave up the ghost this morn'n. It brew up bout a quarter pot an' "die". Time for another Amazon order. But first I'll pull a Billy Bob....take that sucker apart an' see what the problem is. Maybe a fix.
The nice warm weather also give up the ghost. Last night the wind was a blow'n up a storm an' the temp went down a few degs. For the next week or so we gonna have some more very very low temps....lower 20's night time an' mid 50's day time. That sucks. And YES, that's very very low temps. But, I'm gonna make it.
Leonard is taller than Sadie Mae. They was stand'n next to each other an' I says..."what the hell, Leonard is taller than Sadie Mae". He don't weigh as much as Sadie Mae, but he is a big cat. Think'n close to 12 pounds now....even with his diet I put him on. One cup a day is all he gets. Unless he is catch'n birds an' eat'n 'em. He is a hunter ya know, as most cats are. He is also no longer a indoor cat. He loves it outside, even when it's cold an' wet out there. Silly cat. His curfew is 7pm....what he don't like one bit.
I'm still feel'n pretty good, but not good enough to be driv'n no motorhome a thousand mile to south Texas. The ol' stomach is act'n up again, but still not as bad as before. Rekon I'm gonna have to get back on my stomach meds an' deal with the side effects. Damn I hate that idea. Back an' hip bout the same....hurt like hell all the time. Come on back doctor appointment. Hmmmm, I wonder if'n ALL doctors are quacks?
Speak'n of doctors. Remember when I posted bout get'n a endoscopy? At the time, Gypsy commented bout one she had years ago what made her voice harsh. Well, the same thing happen to the old Billy Bob. It's very hard for me to talk to anybody. An' when I do, my voice is very raspy. That sucks when ya got something important to say. Will discuss with the endoscopy doc next appointment date. I wonder if'n ya can sue a doctor for chang'n your voice?
Ok, I take the bottom off'n the coffee pot. All the little devices check out Ok, got 115 volts to the heating element....but it don't get hot. Do a continuity check on the heating element. Yup, it ain't got no continuity,,,,open circuit. Now what kind (brand) coffee pot should I order from Amazon? The newer Mr Coffee is a 12 cupper, humungest (great big), an' I don't want no great big 12 cupper coffee pot.....I want 8 cups with a stainless steel pot thingy.
Boy howdy, this Chris Craft boat sure is collect'n a lot of dust just sit'n on a shelf. At this point, I have no desire to work on the damn thing. I am [this] close to complet'n the project....what the hell?
Speak'n of computers....have ya ever cuss a computer? The new Dell computer is really got the old Billy Bob all piss off. Cuss that sucker. I be online do'n something, an' the damn thing lock slap up. Got to do a cold start an' start all over. So I now have one computer what lock up all the time an' another that the X don't work, the CD don't work an' the camera card reader don't work. Think'n I'll take this one (Dell) back to Best Buy an' get it fixed....under warranty. The Toshiba, the fixes would probly cost more than a new laptop. The non work'n X be'n my main concern. Hmmmm, wonder if'n I can disable the keyboard an' reinstall it to fix the X? May try that just for the hell of it.
Ok, that's bout all I have to talk bout today. See ya laters.

hmm, that propane disappearing. wonder where it went?
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from the B.B. Toshiba keyboard is an easy replace,just a few screws and the old one is out and then pop the new one in.Did my wife's toshiba bout a year ago got them parts from toshiba fer bout 20 bucks. I tried to tell her i am a car guy not a techy guy,lol. Propane gots to be a leaking some where.
ReplyDeleteGo to the Toshiba site and look for diagrams on how to take the computer apart (and put it back together...), find the part # and order it, as recommended by JB. It is usually easy to do, once you know which screws and such to take out. Also, you might want to check YouTube for instructions.
DeleteHappened to think, you could also just use a usb desktop keyboard, plug it into the usb port of the laptop.
Deletehi BB , i guess until you find the propane leak maybe do not use mr heater and did you quite smoking ? if not maybe you should smoke outside until you fix that leak. and it has been 100% beatiful weather here in the real south texas . day time average 70 - 85 night time average 55 - 65 ,perfect not too hot nor not too cold .no need for mr heater down here . nice to here from you , take care .
ReplyDeleteI would advise anyone to NEVER have an endoscopy! I get a sore throat more often than I should lately, and it isn't a cold or anything like that. I never can completely clear my throat, and I hate it when my voice gets raspy. Damn doctors probably just cram that thing down your throat - no doubt they were pissed that I insisted on being completely "out" when they did it. They sure showed me! I hope I never have to go to another doctor - anything my chiropractor can't fix don't need fixin!
ReplyDeleteThe only place I know to replace the Mr. Coffee with the stainless steel pot is Target, or maybe find a coffee maker that you can use the Mr. Coffee pot
ReplyDeleteThe Propane leak must be small or someone would have smelled it. Get a spray bottle & mix soap & water and start by spraying all connections looking for bubbles that is if you have propane left. My RV house furnace will burn more than a gallon every 24 hours in very cold weather that is way too much money for me,so long story short you have a leak be careful !
ReplyDeleteI also have a Mr. Heater, one with three settings and if I run that sucker on high it will burn a tank of propane in 24 hours or less. Puts out lots of heat, at least for a few hours.
ReplyDeleteWhut's hapnin' Billy Bob? i'se kinda gettin' wurreed.
ReplyDeleteCertainly hoping you are having your good days. Sitting here in a tub of winter, soaking in slush and icicles. Bitter, so hard on old bones. Snow there - maybe? Ah, the weatherman, I can't trust him before my eyes "and more coming" he says! Cooped inside, I'm dragging out old projects to continue playing with. Oh dear, this place looks like a 'WINTER DISASTER IN WAREHOUSE - FIVE KNOWN DEAD' news headliner. Nevertheless, I'm happy creating the hours away. Helps to abate the pain sometimes. Mr. Billy Bob, WRITE US!
Bout time you let us hear from you, Billy Bob. Hope you are hanging' in there. I check every day!!!
