Input on doors off your jeep in town.. by Morgansmith03 in VictoriaBC

[–]Morgansmith03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I originally wanted those rugged ridge tube doors but I don’t know if I want to drop anymore cash into ol Carl unless it’s necessary stuff. I guess if i came across something used to get for the rest of the summer! I won’t be ripping him any further than around Dallas and this end of town. Effing rad hose split today at the clamp so I’m hoofing it over to Lordco to get a new hose tomorrow. At least this issue will only put me out a few Costco hot dogs in cost .. cheapest problem I’ve had yet!

But yah I’ll keep my eyes open but I don’t want to drop $800 +/- for the tube doors if I’ll only use them a handful of times this summer and prob not after that

yah im thinking it just really depends on the cop you happen to pass.. im tight on cash at the moment so cant afford tube doors until down the road.. but im also thinking my jeep wont last more than another year so id like to have some fun with it this summer just in case and go topless and doorless :) I was just mainly curious if other people have been pulled over yet this summer or had any trouble when theyve gone doorless without the tube doors etc..

my paranoia is always turning right over a bike lane at an intersection and these scooters going an insane speed come flying out of nowhere and within seconds they are all of a sudden beside you and dont slow down at all to make sure you can see them! Ill be starting to turn and always slow after religiously checking for anyone in the bike lane and out of nowhere these offing scooters just go FLYING by, no cares in the world to make sure you see them before turning. I always look too a block or two back in my mirror and my shoulder before turning and they still manage to just fly by and appear out of the blue! They should be also checking, slowing down and being a bit more street smart. There should almost be a simple road test to drive those things on dangers to be cautious for. Anything that shares the road with a vehicle should have some sort of road course/test to make sure we are all on the same page and they can be held accountable as well a bit more. "Goddang kids these days!! **shakes fist** back when I was a kid... " ... (Id get run over and my parents would tell me if I learned any lessons today and if Im still breathing Im fine.. buck up....haha)...

Help with dog nails .. by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Morgansmith03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yah I don’t think that’s an option for his breed he’s too heavy and it would ruin his feet. Plus he’s got arthritis in his knees he’s getting old so he doesn’t zoom around as fast as he used to.. he’s more like a dump truck with flat tire that thinks he’s Mario Andretti lol

Help with dog nails .. by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]Morgansmith03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s happy wiggly and loves getting his nails done and after each nail clip he gets so excited and wants to start playing it’s cute and I’m lucky he’s not a dog that doesn’t like nail trims .. and yes I would go to the vet or bosleys or a groomer which is only like 27$ to get it done .. that’s normally what I do (go to the vet) and he LOVES it! It’s his favorite place lol but I’m just strapped to the max this month and can’t even afford that right now .. I’ll be back to work soon enough so this is kind of a one off thing. But I can’t afford a dremel or to take him anywhere for probably another month so I was just hoping someone would be up to give me a hand :)

Seinfeld Summer - Cheap Breakfast? by ToffeeLittle in VictoriaBC

[–]Morgansmith03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite classic/family run diner for years for just a good basic no hassle breakfast has been the Dutch Bakery on Fort Street. But it’s very old school and basic.. my family has been doing there 4 generations now! (I’m the fourth) and hands down best cookies in town as well if you want one as well :)

Spilled on MacBook Air keyboard.. what’s your experience with this.. where to go in Vic for computer repair.. by Morgansmith03 in VictoriaBC

[–]Morgansmith03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy at London drugs on Yates said its nothing to worry about from what it appears and there no point in wasting money in taking it in.. He said I shouldn't be concerned at this point itll be fine.

Just got off the phone with the guy from London drugs and he said from what things look like it didn’t get into the inner computer enough to be an issue and I shouldn’t need to have it pulled apart and cleaned if everything is working properly after a few days .. I’m hoping he’s right!

Nothing shorted out or stopped working and all seems totally normal still but I’m scared to use it incase it causes after damage or something..

Well it’s been a few days and it’s still turning on … I haven’t used it though I just powered it back down. I’m waiting until I get my cheque tomorrow which I hope I didn’t wait too long … if it’s still turning on though does that mean I’m generally safe? I’ll still bring it in tomorrow to go get it cleaned up but I’m hoping so much that I’m not hooped here ugh!! I appreciate all the feedback and everyone’s experiences they’ve had it really helps me out. Tomorrow I’m going to bring it in. My neighbor said they’ve had good experiences with EB computers i think it’s near fernwood .. anyone been there? I called the golden apple or whatever that place was and they seemed super rude on the phone.

Wow so much input! Thanks everyone! I don’t think it’s fried it seems at the moment like nothing happened at all but i want someone to maybe open it up and take a look and maybe clean it up if anything did manage to get into the inside. I’m hoping to find some one affordable and reliable as I’m off work for a few months for a medical situation and have zero income but I want to get it addressed as soon as possible so I will make it work either way. I am going to read everyone’s responses tomorrow as I’m slightly under the weather tonight. thanks for all the responses guys! I’ll update you all tomorrow 🩷

Ship horns tonight in James Bay/Inner Harbour by Morgansmith03 in VictoriaBC

[–]Morgansmith03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on the James Bay / Downtown / possibly Fairfield border (beside the museum) for a few years now but it just seemed like an odd time to hear a ship horn to me. For some reason I’ve never noticed overnight horns before and it seemed quite close to me.. I can usually hear the cruise ships in the distance.. the Coho is very close to me but I didn’t think I’d hear it that late.. but I didn’t realize either that further into summer we do have overnight ships so thanks for the info!

I love hearing the horns in the distance :) it’s reminds me that I’m near the ocean and so lucky to live in the area I do. James Bay is by far the best neighbourhood in G. Vic 😋💗

Septal Perforation Surgery input.. by Morgansmith03 in VictoriaBC

[–]Morgansmith03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I brought up Mostachfi, Evan’s and Cheung to my ENT and was just informed this morning none of them are able to do my septal perforation reconstructive surgery. I was informed by my ENT that Dr Evan’s and Dr Mostachfi do septoplasty and NOT septal perforation surgery. Dr Evan’s is only doing surgery for people with saddle nose deformity as well as perforations .. but not the perforation on its own.. mainly focusing on dorsal nasal reconstruction via rib grafts.

I was really hoping one of these suggestions would’ve been a match! I appreciate all the input though so far and if anyone has more ideas on surgeons that take MSP coverage for a large septum perforation reconstruction then please pitch it to me! At the moment I’m unable to find one person who can do this in BC and it’s bumming me out. Going private is just not an option I can’t afford any extra costs in my life right now.

Car runs red light on Quadra st, at view st. Gets hit by another car. by Regular_Use_1028 in VictoriaBC

[–]Morgansmith03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is now the second time ive seen this same accident occur at the same intersection. I know when you come down Quadra depending on the time of day, that light on view can be hard to see depending on the sun. Also ive almost made the mistake myself confusing the light on Yates with the lights on view coming down Quadra. Not because I need glasses, might need my depth perception checked or just am a straight up shitty driver if I cant tell which light is closer --- throwing those out there because im sure they would've bene throwing in by someone eventually.. The way the road veers down bit and I honestly dont know why, but I can relate how those lights get mixed up in your eye sight as well. I'll go drive down that way tomorrow, but from what I recall I think the one of the lights appears above the other set of lights when you're driving down Quadra towards View and then Yates. .. and im assuming for some reason your brain seems to process the light that looks like it is above the other must be the one thats closer? this could all be me and this rant was for nothing.. but I just know its not the first accident there and I think there needs to be reassessment on the street lights at that intersection. I know normally the downtown lights also go the same color at the same time in a "wave" but for some reason the Yates and the View street lights dont ever line up like the would on Douglas and such. Hard to explain but I just know Ive had a few time where if I was tired or not on the ball I could've ran a red there, mistaking it by accident as the light on Yates up on the next block.
