I am pretty sure every time there is a DOWN POUR of rain my computer cable internet connection is

I was the 'Instructing Operator' for a brand new Part Timer today. Guy's from New York/Boston and lately, Las Vegas. He commented how nice the weather in Seattle was, as we experienced about 10-minutes worth of sunshine...then it started in with the grey/rain. "Stick around a few minutes" is the standard answer here. |
No-thanks, poor traction, poor visability, and all the other hazards of driving in the rain I can do without as well. I was operating a 230 excavater the other day in a downpour and the lightening strikes were hitting way too close to that giant lightening rod. |
Nope, falling, limbing, bucking, most the time except for when the excatvater threw a track in the swamp it was in, try back a idler rollor off when it is buried in cold mud. field heavy equipment mechanic doesnt enjoy the luxuries of a shop building much. |
There is a thread somewhere on Comcast having problems...........

Well, if you do it 'just right', you can take this 60-ft., rear-wheel-drive coach and PUNCH IT around the corner...causing the center axle to rise just enough to lose traction and toss the Bus into a sideways skid, akin to using a PosiTraction in a Muscle Car, and THEN, rain is FUN. CAUTION: Don't do this with passengers on board. ![]() |
I used to drive shuttle buses at Sea-Tac airport. I could get the passengers in the last row of seats to fly in the air if I hit the speed bump in front of our lot just right |
According to the little woman, who, incidentally, works for Comcast, a trunk line was damaged, and people from Tacoma to Seattle had outages. BTW, no problems here
|
There are a few intersections in the city where one may be able to see a concert truck like this ----> / with the proper application of fuel, turn and timing. Do not try this while loaded. |
I love Fire Season!... Get a chance to work my ass off and camp under the stars for DNR pay! |
Do you get to share a tent with Frisky-Ferret, too?
|
Only if Im really lucky.. ![]() So what did you hear about the guy that got hit by the train in everett last week? |
Nothing. Must have happened while I was out of town on vacation. Last incident I heard of was the mother or 4 who committed suicide by throwing herself under the wheels of a garbage train near the RTA station. |
