QuoteArcheo-peteriX We had real blizzard conditions here late last night with 90kmh winds and blowing snow. The wind chill dipped to as low as -19ºC in some areas around where we live. Not that much accumulation but what did fall has drifted into deep piles. It's warmer now with today's high forecast to be a balmy -2ºC along with only 40kmh winds and 10-15cm of new snow; falling onby rkj - Community Forum
Quoteigor325 did troubles with firefox started after one of the version upgrades? Sometimes, and for whatever reason, installing/upgrading to a new version of ff on top of the old one could cause problems you described. Uninstall firefox (your profile/preferences will be saved on comp), download newest version of firefox and do clean install. Hopefully this will fix the problem.

Quotedaniel i use google chrome exclusively. it's very lightweight, has tabs, moves quickly, and looks good. Does it carry the control+ feature?by rkj - Community Forum
I use firefox, cause I love the control+ thing, I'm a touch blind. But one of my computers, the one I often use shuts it down all the time. I tried hotfixes but nothing stops the problem, so I start internet explorer and eveything seems fine but I hate it (no control+). Is there a cool browser other than firefox?

I'm doing this here because this is about one of my motorcycles, and I need your brains for a sec. Yesterday I was putting together my forks (I'm rebuilding the front end, new brakes and tire) and just as a last bit of clean-up before I put them together I took the springs out of the fork tubes and measured (and cleaned the inside of the tubes)) the springs, they measured fine but theyby rkj - Community Forum

QuoteArcheo-peteriX QuoteBob in Everett I agree that the winters seem to be worse the past couple of years. Seems like the age of global warming is over. The sunspot cycle must be in the "low energy" mode or what ever it is that they do. The warmest year on record in recent years was 1998.

QuoteBob in Everett The heated door lock option would be the cure for the drivers door. I don't think there is an option for it on the trunk. Probably a better idea than a hot key. Although by warming it key a couple of times with my hands it eventually did get the door lock to workl. The antenna won't go up either so the radio is not getting a signal.
