I am married and retired. My interests are #blindness issues, #technology, #music, #radio, especially #FMDX and sports. I follow #MLB, #NFL, #NHL and college football and basketball. My #politics are to the left, but I rarely post #political tweets. I live in Pittsburgh, PA.
#SmartOven #Breville In August of 2023, we bought a Breville BOV950BSS Smart oven. We loved the way it cooked until earlier this month, a switch on the left side of the oven became disengaged and the oven could no longer tell when it was closed. Sigh of releif, the oven was under warranty and the company paid for it to be shipped to them. It was packaged in packing supplied by the company which included heavily fitted styrofoam for the top and bottom. The oven arrived today. Bad news next!
It was packed in bubble wrap, very little on the top end. The oven door is crooked, the left side has a large dent toward the back and the rod just above the crumb tray was bent and broken on one end. The crumb tray doesn't fit. So it's back in the box and we'll call them Monday.
Sorry, but a company that sells a $500 smart toaster oven should provide better service than this. Assuming we get this straightened out, it'll probably be my last Breville purchase.
#Pittsburgh_Radio what an odd mix of oldies on WRRKHD4. I tuned in and heard "Journey to the center of the mind " by the Amboy Dukes followed by "the call of the wild goose " by Frankie Lane.
#Paypal version 8.86.0 iOS app. when you try to send money, and double tap the send/receive tab, it only keeps you there about 30 seconds before sending you back to the home tab. I could not use it to pay money online. Guess I'll be contacting their tech-support. Luckily, the website still worked for me.
#FMDX #E-Skip from Brentwood Pennsylvania, I just spent the last 2 hours listening to radio from all over Texas, Louisiana and one station from Mississippi. Highest frequency with activity here was 106.5 from Louisiana. @radiorick52 was along for the DXcursion by phone. Rick, thanks for the alert, hope you enjoyed The Ride.
#Puns God a chuckle from this, saw it on FB.
Just been to the grocery store, and the kid bagging my stuff asked if I wanted paper or plastic. I told him I didn't care and he could decide for me. He looked me dead in the eye and said.... "You have to pick - baggers. can't be choosers.'
@Va3ets Hi Dan, thanks for the follow. I remember that you used to check in during my shows on the old ACB Radio Interactive. Hope you're doing well.
#Joke saw this on FB.
Your vet won't tell you this, but if your dog is running a fever, get some mustard.
It's the best thing for a hot dog.
#FM DX looks like it's all gone. It disappeared almost as quickly as it came in. I had an unidentified on 88.9 playing "safety dance" by Men Without Hats. It was clear for about two minutes and then it just disappeared. Will post if anything exciting happens.
#FM DX #e-skip unidentified stations so far, but I'm getting 88.5, 88.9, 90.1. It's definitely not local. Will post more when I have more. But I'm in Brentwood Pennsylvania, so if you're on the east coast, you may want to check out the FM band.
