I have the 2nd one, but I do have 4 jackstands! I agree, that is why I have put it off. Good thing is it isn't a daily driver, so I can just work on it a lil at a time if I need to.

The option is still on the table however....

Probably would take a little longer on Jack stands......... for me anyway I am starting to get old and all the years under a hood are catching up to me

I hear ya. I went from wearing a 30lb tool belt everyday to now working behind a desk. Didn't want to transition that quickly or drastically, but it has its benefits!

Cox just flipped a switch recently, first time over 70! I wasn't expecting this with my 6121 (4 downstream) Motorola modem, can't wait to get a 6183 with 16 downstreams. This result was over WiFi with the app on my phone.

Got lollipop on my g2 OTA. Think it has reduced my battery life.

Chevyguy85 · April 16, 2015

Lollipop's gapps is creating sleep issues. Well 5.1 gapps anyway. You probably just got 5.0x. Then again gapps is probably messed for that too, I dunno.

It's a bug in lollipop. Very well reported but Google ignored it until 5.2 which will come out soon, but if who knows if the carriers will push a small official update just for big fixes.

Managed IT services.

Right after I bought my house on the southwest side, the company changed all of my clients from west side to northeast side.

It's good in that I Get to play with the "toys" and learn a lot about different networks, people, industries.. its not good because they work you tro DEATH sometimes, you gotta drive all over the metro area in your own vehicle, and you never get to really do what SHOULD be done. only what you're paid to do.

I don't think taking the job was a mistake, I just think buying a house and carrying a car note under it was a mistake. This line of work usually pays more than a static IT job, but thats because its kind of like having 10 standard IT jobs.

So I bought 2 of those Cyberpower units that were on sale Monday. Amazon sent me 3. I sent them an email/msg and got this response

lol I don't see how I can be disappointed if they are letting me keep a $150ish product (when not on sale). I say canned response.

There's a temp fix for the battery drain caused by wake lock issues for 5.x if I find it again I'll link y'all to it. Although I doubt it'll work with stock roms or unrooted devices though.
