Hello Kitten

[kitten]

I thought I should spare your overworked hands  

[Gopher]

Surprisingly, I type with my fingers.

[kitten]

Now there's an odd approach!  I've always used my toes.

[Gopher]

',m going back to work now, and this time I'll sign off immediately so I won't be tempted to  stay longer and keep up with your repartee.  

[kitten]

Since duty calls, I wish you a quiet afternoon at work.

[Goats]

Have a good one Gopher, thats cheating completely logging out! Takes away all the fun.

  Hows your afternoon now kitten?

[kitten]

Still good, Russ.  Just relaxing and drinking coffee.  Are you finished for the day or do you have more classes?

[Goats]

Well, considering I didnt set my alarm and slept in, I missed the class. LOL. I came in about half an hour ago, and am getting the days notes and yesterdays cause I missed that on purpose. Nothing this afternoon.

Im going to head home in about 15 minutes and then help my dad with his jeep grand cherokee. It keeps stalling out intermittently, it runs good for a bit, then all of a sudden it starts jerking and the revs go all over the board before stopping right wherever you are on the road.. we suspect the computer but are hoping it isnt, thats 1100 for the computer alone.

[kitten]

That's what worried me about the newer cars.  The computer breakdowns can cost an arm and a leg.

[Goats]

I agree kitten! I always tell all my friends that when you get a newer vehicle, buy the extended warranty that covers ALL electrical, drivetrain, etc. Bumper to Bumper warranty, dont worry about the cost.

  My dads ran out a few months ago (fool!!!), he only got a three year limited warranty. Now its going to cost him an arm and a leg.

  Just to hook up a computer scanner to the onboard computer is going to cost 120 bucks, and thats not guaranteed to be the right problem. Last friend of mine that took his vehicle in took him a week and just under 2k. They had to change a whole bunch of sensors until they found the right one, they rely too much on the scan tool now, and not experience.

[kitten]

That's terribly pricy!  It's too bad your dad's insurance lapsed.  I hope they have someone competent enough to find the problem.  Does he have a good mechanic?

[Russ]

We usually do most of our own work kitten. We have a scan tool as well but not the software for something as new as 2003.

  But because it is still partially under warranty for other things, I think we will be forced to take it in for a scan and to sort out the problems at the dealer. Sigh, 120 an hour.

[P.C.]

Good morning Kitten.....Happy rainy Monday !!!  

[Russ]

Yes I agree! Happy Rainy Morning kitten.. and to you too PC!

[Gopher]

Hope the results of your blood test were o.k., kitten
