New Look

Today I just was fooling around with the layout and things on this blog.  Do you like the changes?  So far I do just not sure what else to do or just leave it as it is.   I don't remember how to get it back to where it was but I'm happy with this now.  Just rambling here.
 

Fob

Well been having trouble with the Fob for my truck.  It only works sometimes and only from some angles of my truck.  I asked around and people told me , oh that's expensive.  People told me that it would cost me like 140 up to 300 dollars.

Well I decided to phone the local Ford dealer and he told me a new fob would be about 50 bucks.  And maybe I could just replace the battery for a couple bucks. (very helpful)

So with that news I headed down to the Ford dealer and inquired about replacing the battery.   Oh sorry we don't carry the batteries.  What!!  Am I the only person that has a Ford that needs a battery replaced .  You think they would have a few on hand to help out .  Especially with customer service.  Good pr.

So I asked ok if i replace the battery and it still doesn't  work do you have any Fobs on hand.  NO. but we can order you one in.

Wow incredible. Nobody has anything useful in stock anymore. Just think of the business they lose because they don't have the items needed in stock.

So off I went to a local battery store.  Had the battery replaced for $4. including tax and it works good as new.

So if you need a new battery on your fob don't go to the dealer head to a battery shop.  It is a time saver and less headaches.

What a view

Last Friday night  we went to Sidney for a walk and dinner.  We were treated with some fantastic views.  Mt Baker all covered in snow and the setting sun set up these fantastic pictures.  Enjoy

And the Walls come tumbling down

Its been a hard week.  First the snow in Victoria.   

Then I got a cold and my sinuses are all plugged up.

Then the 110km wind came and blew my wood shed down.

 

Well have to pick up the pieces and start again.  I think we will try a different location for the shed this time.  

Well thats it.  Can only get better from here.

As you see from my twitter tweet today it snowed here.  Hope you local people are enjoying it but lets hope it doesnt  over due its welcome.

 

It's been a long time

 

Its been over 10 yrs or maybe a lot more since I ventured over to  Vancouver to see a Canuck game.  But with a relative transferring to Vancouver for work it was a great time to go over for a visit and see a game too.

We walked on the ferry to cut down costs , got a ride into town with my relative and then we returned a few days later on the skytrain and bus to the ferry.  It sure cuts down the cost .

Anyway we really enjoyed the game with going down to the glass to watch the warmup then up to the rafters to watch the game.  But a great view from there and enjoyed a very  close thrilling game.

Vancouver lost to San Jose Sharks in a shootout.   So we got our money worth with the extra time.

Well have to go over again sooner than every 10 yrs for a game

ok till next time
