    Good Morning : My PeeeeepHoles.!!!

    Glorious day out there today. Been putting some serious sMiles on my Yammy FJR the past few days.

    Went without the helmet a few days ago and boy did I get wind/sun burned - not smart on all fronts.

    Aw well, ran the RedHead for about 150 sMiles yesterday...what a rod.

    Been moving some rock at home and let me tell ya, it ain't no fun at all.

    Samsung 1080p flat screen 43" is taking a crap (on ...off on ...off) probably needs to go.

    That sux as I don't have any $$cash$$ for a new one.




    Anybody else have T-Mobile. i am finding out quickly that their coverage sux.

    I am still in the 14 day window to scrap it all and go back to Verizon.

    Was up late last night working on the 57M. Swapped glass back to the USO, installed the cheek rest, and put the tuner on. Actually put the tuner on so I wouldn't lose it.. Going to get some gpt today and maybe tomorrow and Tuesday also before I pull the stock. Need to sand off the texturing then it's off to Allen for a paint job. Not sure what color yet, leaning towards poison ivy. I'm over the dull green, warty texture, and slick tape.

    Here's a pic, color suggestions are welcomed.

    Had the same issue with my Samsung flat screen. Was told by a electronics tech it's caused by overheating of the control module do to dust. He told me to take it down, lay it face down on a soft blanket, take the back cover off, and blow off with some Duster(aresol dehydrated CO2) and vacuum the entire back area, then put it back together and it should be good. I did it and the intermittent on off issue has stopped and it's worked as normal since. Not that there was alot of dust in it but was enough to cause issues. Might want to try it before you spend any $$.

    Been years since I had T-mobile and I'd never go back. When I saw your previous post I had hoped their coverage improved or was at least good where you are, because years ago when I had it you couldn't make a call from my house at the time.

    I've had Verizon for the last 12 years or so, and it's expensive because the coverage is good. I have people who come to my house who have ATT and don't have any signal, but I've got 5G UW and strong signal.

    T-Mobile and Sprint each weren't great when you got off of major highways when we used to travel down south. Sounds like from your experience together they may not have improved.

    I've been a Verizon customer from the beginning. First through work and then on my own. They have always had the best coverage.

    When I was biking Brown County State Park trails I even had coverage in the valleys which meant I could call for help in case of emergencies and it was used for other riders a couple of times to get them out.

    Well, T-Mobile bought Sprint and the guy told me there are 278 towers owned by Sprint in Indiana. of that, 32 of the towers have been converted over to T-Mobile as of start date of late Feb 2022. I just don't know if I can wait until it's completed for a "possible" good ending. I just hate it all.....

    Often when they do that you have one or more capacitors gone bad.

    I had a Samsung I bought new in 2008 that was made during a period of time when a lot of companies got a run of bad capacitors.

    By 2011 it was doing the on-off-on-off stuff when I powered it up.
    Eventually it got where it wouldn't turn on at all.
    MANY people had this problem, and it was just capacitors.

    Opened it up and found some bulging and leaking capacitors.

    Checked the specs on these and ordered some replacements with the same physical dimensions, but higher temp and service life.
    Got them from

    Just soldered in the new capacitors, and that TV STILL runs to this day!
