Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 20, 2015

What are they trying to do?

-“Now address the speakers…”

-“Hello, speakers!”

Classic Honeymooners golf scene updated for the digital age.

Don’t feel outdated, 4lttrwrd. I get the reference. “The Honeymooners” was a weekly B&W sitcom starring Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows with Art Carney and Joyce Randolph. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Honeymooners) The golfing reference was when Ralph Kramden (Gleason) needed to learn how to golf. Ed Norton (Carney) was helping by reading instructions from a book. The instruction was to “first address the ball.” Trying to figure out what that meant, Norton picks up a club, stands over the ball and says, “Hello, ball!” .. Much better when you watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNauilZRzHk

I’ve tryied those Bluetooth speakers before. Three different brands, none of them produced sound as promised.

When it dings, the toast is done.

PAIRING.

I predicted that a couple days ago! ;-)

Now your garage door is open…..

Helloo

I tried to explain a black Bakelite rotary dial telephone to a young friend a couple of weeks ago. I should have just googled it and showed her.

david_42An unknown icon? My 2008 Prius has one of those. It is a snowflake framed by a chevron. It comes on briefly at all temperatures and whether the engine is warmed or not. The authorized dealership has no idea what it is and it is not in the owner’s manual.

They should call Gene for help, I bet he knows what to do!

Usually won’t pair if there’s multiple Bluetooth devices vying for signal…of course not much chance Arlo has anything interfering!!

One of TV’s all-time funniest episodes!! “Hello Ball” much funnier from Art Carney

this reminds me of the big bang theory episode where the guys are trying to sink up a wireless helocopter remote. When Bernadete suggests calling Tech support the boys glare at her like she’s crazy and keep trying to solve the problem on their own.

Try 000000 for the pairing key; a lot of those Bluetooth-connected appliances use that. Unfortunately, those keys are frequently unchangeable.

TarredandfeatheredI was hoping someone had the answer. However, it does not light up when starting (which is to show they are in working condition), nor is it with those lights, but just above the fuel consumption information. It is not an ice warning, as that is a wavy track figure with the regular idiot lights – and comes on a fraction of a second after a competent driver has already felt it in the old “seat of the pants” sensing organ and begun to correct. It has come on with temperatures in the lower 60°sF, as well as below freezing. It can come on in both forward and reverse, but only when in motion. It never stays on more than 1.5 seconds. but may blink a time or two.

then comes the big question: will it blend?
