I purposely pick him because my whammy powers run deep and I just wanted to check to see if they still work.
I picked Michael Cuddyer in the BTS today...
Whamo!

The Cubs are wheelin' and dealin' today...
Theo Epstein is in the 21st month of his 60 month contract.
When you have your next brainfart...
just be glad you don't get them as often as I do and it will brighten your day.
D'oh!!!
Now I get it.
Once again I was afforded the opportunity to prove my stooopidity and gladly seized the moment.
10 bonus points each race to the player who starts the race in the same position as Danica finishes
She finished in 23rd.
How come I got the bonus?
I didn't start 23rd.
Wahoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
But now I have to figure out the Danica rule.
My tranny blew up...
my buddy had sold his '69 Charger to a guy who blew the motor up. He knew it sat dead on the side of his garage and he also knew it had a Hemi transmission in it that would bolt right up to my '68 Chrysler.
Told me to offer him $100 bucks to take away the dead Charger. Said he would help me put the trans in my car and as payment, he got the Charger.
What a deal.
But wait, there's more!
My buddy had another friend who was at the transmission school in Wyoming.
Asked them if they wanted a class project.
Yep, my Hemi trans went to Wyoming. Re-built at no charge.
Only glitch came on the install, when I dropped the crossmember on my mouth knocking out my front tooth.
That was a really cool addition to my first car. Automatic transmission that chirped the tires from first to second gear.
Had a 383 c.i. with a 2-barrel. Top end was 128MPH.
While we're waiting...
what was your first car?
Mine was a 1968 Chrysler Newport. What a boat! Got it from my dad's uncle.
2-18-48 please
Please change me to 15-42-78 please. Thanks!
14-15-24 please
They could not give me the promotional $200 pre-paid Visa card they give new customers...
but they did give me a one month credit to be seen on our next bill.
The power of the pen, or in this case, keyboard.
Next week, I will let fido make my picks...
and he better not pick the 5.
RizZo...
Wow.
You can have one of my points if it will cheer you up.
Aarrrgghhhhhhhhh
Not liking Kyle Petty so much.
Been blubbering all morning...
and that's a good thing.
Hey Dads...
Happy Father's Day!
5-20-48 please
Never did get to the Apple Store last weekend...
Thought it was a Comcast issue, which it was, but her ipad had glitches too.
So Mo took her iPad to the Apple Store yesterday and came home with a brand new one. Hers was defective and they don't spend too much time trying to make the bad one work.
Just chuck it and give customer the a new one.
Very nice Apple.
I like that.
Agree 100%...
My analogy is the supervisor in a shop that needs a task done. He can choose from 2 guys.
One will give him grief and do a crappy job.
The other guy is polite, no back talk and does exceptional work.
Guess who he goes to.
Good guy gets screwed again.
Yes, the letter is written. We'll see what they say.
So far, so good...
A new customer signing up for our new package, in addition to the same price we're getting, would also get a $200 pre-paid Visa card.
So I called back Comcast today.
Told her how we've been a Comcast customer since 1987 without a late or delinquent payment, yet they still cater to new customers.
Their department is called Customer Loyalty Retention.
How 'bout our loyalty? We've sent them over $45,000 over the last 26 years.
She agreed with my tale and highly recommended I send a letter to corporate's Comcast Corporate Escalations department, so off it goes and we'll see what happens.
To be continued...
Actually, it was online chat...
not sure if it was a robot. Might have been.
Just got off the phone with Comcast's retention department. Wasn't on hold very long at all. Almost instant. Tell them you're saying good-bye and they throw every offer they have available at you.
Like a filthy whore, I accepted. LOL. More service, less $$$ per month and an I'm sorry about yesterday credit. No contract. New rate good for 12 months and then call back for addition 12 months.
Thank you...
unfortunately, talking with the Verizon rep is just like talking with Comcast rep.
They all seem to vary on their prices. It seems all negotiable.
They gave us the instruction booklet on the modem/router to do it ourselves...
Step 1 was establishing wifi on the computer. D'oh! It was already there, but Mo's iPad says no connection. I put the other router back on like it was.
Bammo! We made progress. It asked for the code key password. Once accepted, we were in business. Time will tell if it's all good or needs more tweaking, but for now we're all good.
Not sure...
haven't looked into FIOS.
We took a road trip to the Comcast office. Going through 5 or 6 reps with no resolution doesn't put your demeaner into a positive light when you go see them in person.
Their whole desire is to sell you more stuff. They really wanted us to have a tech come out, that we would pay for, then maybe get re-imbursement later. Key word being "maybe".
Our visit ended shortly after things got a bit testy.
Grrr Comcast...
They changed out my modem and we had wireless.
Interruptions had me call Comcast. They took out their router. Now no wireless.
Called Comcast back and they said they will give me my wireless back for a fee.
Wow.
That could be it...
The network "key" from the bottom of the router has about 2 dozen numbers and letters.
Longer code than Mathew Broderick's in War Games.
On our way to the Apple Store...
not sure if the ipad we bought has issues. We also may have wireless issues as well.
The Comcast guy changed out our modem 6 months ago. It is an Arris TG862.
When he hooked up the new modem, he ran the wire from our old router to the new modem. Connection hasn't been an issue until recently. Maybe something got changed setting up the new ipad?? Not sure.
We did stumble our way through the set up of the ipad and at times, it would connect to the internet. But very often got bumped offline. Like 10 times in 30 minutes.
With very many dropped internet occurrences happening to the ipad, I ran some speedtests today on our desktop and yes, had a lot of interruptions and very slow results.
Talked to Comcast today and the guy said to remove the old router out of the setup.
The kids were able to use their wireless devices the way it was set up, but now the ipad says no wireless connection.
The ipad prompted us to select the network the Comcast guy told us to use. (It's on the bottom of the modem.)
Next, it asked for the password.
That's as far as we can go unless someone here has the password.
Thanks for any ideas you may have.
Going to the Apple Store. Be back later.
In Chicago...
new sheep are born every day.
Adopting multiple 5 year plans isn't the problem...
it's re-selling the idea that takes finess.
Dallas Green was going to have Lee Elia take us to the promised land. A really nasty tirade by Elia nipped that in the bud.
We also got a whizz-kid from Minnesota that got a great deal of hype. Andy MacPhail failed too.
Now we have Theo Epstein.
Stop me when you've already heard how it ends.
The Cubs owe me a bunch of trophies (1969, 1984, 1989, 1994, 2003, 2007, 2008). When we reach break even, we'll start counting from there.
I used my lucky dog to make my baseball picks...
He said I'm on my own with my racing picks. He got kicked one too many times a couple years ago and can't seem to just let it go.
I'm thinking a rainstorm is what I need...
not a black cloud in the entire state.
I'm doomed.
I knew I should have taken JJ Yeley. What the heck was I thinking?!?
I'm a pretty fart smeller...
I mean smart feller.
I was supposed to drop out the 5 and not the 11.
Please make the necessary changes and just keep it between you and me. Nobody has to know. It'll be our little secret.
P.S.
Kasey Kahne started whining the minute he saw my picks.
Speaking of dogs...
The Cubs are starting Edwin Jackson today.
The 22nd consecutive 5 year plan continues.
Thanks cap!
Can you change me to 5-48-99? Thanks! Sorry!
