On a completely unrelated note, I'm having a yard sale.  ;D

the buyer removed all conditions despite me saying no to their last ask of a reduction in price.

I tested my modem and router connected to one of those motormaster powerpack things, lasted just over 4 hours.  In the 7 years we have been here, we have had the occasional flicker (2-3 min).  But only one time was it down for more than 1 hour, I think it was around 6 hours.

Went and filled the kids Mustang while he was working...damn those things are jittery.  Hit a bump, car jumps that way...hit a bump, now it goes this way...I don't recall my '89 5.0 being so loose. Every ridge in the highway it follows. Constantly fighting to keep it straight, hit a bump mid-corner and you better pray you weren't also depressing the gas pedal too far, it's like the chassis isn't bolted together any better than a cheapass bed frame. Do love that V8 though, with the Roush mufflers...fack that thing sounds nasty. 

So two things...1. get a newer Mustang...2. don't buy a Mustang, get a new Fusion Sport or another Ecoboost F150.  I'd be in so much trouble with a car that noisy. Much better off for my own sake with a quiet vehicle. With less than 8 cylinders. 

#absolutepowerbreedsirresponsibility #stupidoldmaninafastcar  - did I do that right?  ;D

Replaced AdBlock with uBlock Origin. Added bonus is uBlock doesn't seem to have as large an impact on page loading speed.

AdBlock hasn't been able to block the new ads on YouTube, and I'm not watching a 30+ second ad three times in a 10 minute video.

If YouTube Red makes it north of the border, I'll gladly pay for a subscription.
